DALLAS, TX – ABC Fitness, a global leader in fitness technology solutions, announces a deepened partnership with SETS Hybrid Training, a fast-growing U.S. franchise redefining community-based functional fitness. Over just two years of franchising, SETS has expanded to more than 15 studios across the Northeast, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, a trajectory powered by ABC Fitness’ Glofox’s all-in-one platform and unmatched customer support.
SETS Hybrid Training’s growth story is built on a simple idea: grow from within. What began as a few outdoor bootcamps led by founder Anthony Kapasakis has evolved into a thriving franchise model where coaches become owners, each trained not only to lead but to build sustainable businesses within the SETS community.
When it came time to scale, SETS Hybrid Training turned to ABC Glofox after finding other systems too complex for rapid franchise expansion. Managing 15 different accounts and disconnected tools had become a barrier to growth.
“Switching from MindBody to ABC Glofox was a game-changer for us,” said Anthony Kapasakis, Founder of SETS Hybrid Training. “We went from managing disconnected systems to one platform that truly fits how a modern training business operates. Everything is faster, cleaner, and easier to scale—and it’s been a key factor in making franchising possible and far more efficient. We haven’t looked back since.”
Over the past year, the ABC Glofox team has developed eight custom features specifically for SETS, helping streamline franchise onboarding, simplify royalty management, and enhance communication across studios. These tools have become foundational to SETS’ business model—driving automation, improving data visibility, and allowing coaches to focus on what they do best: building community.
SETS Hybrid Training’s attrition rate now averages just 2–5% per location, with real-time insights from ABC Glofox dashboards helping franchisees track performance and member progress. The partnership’s impact is evident in both operational efficiency and member experience.
“SETS Hybrid Training embodies everything we believe about modern fitness entrepreneurship—community, empowerment, and scalable systems,” said Conor O’Loughlin, Chief Revenue Officer at ABC Fitness. “Their growth is proof of what’s possible when technology, passion, and purpose align. ABC Glofox was built to support exactly this kind of sustainable expansion, and we are proud to be part of their journey.”
With plans to open 10 additional locations next year, SETS Hybrid Training continues to set the standard for data-driven, community-first franchising in the U.S.
