BlackRock&#8217;s Impact Opportunities Fund and James Collins, Managing Partner of Eastwood Capital Partners, together have committed to developing a minimum of 80 new Retro Fitness Health Clubs in four different regions in the country, the first of which are now open in Dallas, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are excited to partner with James Collins on our Project LIFT initiative and to announce the first four new health clubs in Dallas, Texas,&#8221; said Andrew Alfano, Chief Executive Officer at Retro Fitness. &#8220;This investment is the largest development deal in the history of the company, more importantly we are proud that it is about making a significant difference and giving back to Black and Brown communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Retro Fitness is looking to incentivize others to take this journey with them. Project LIFT investors will benefit by receiving a waived franchise fee and 50% off year one royalties. Additionally, Retro Fitness will be donating a percentage of its royalties back to an organization within the community for the life of the business. This initiative further supports Retro Fitness&#8217; commitment to making a lasting, profound impact on the health club industry and the communities in which they serve.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has been extremely gratifying working with the Retro Fitness team and seeing the first health club locations under its Project LIFT initiative come to life,&#8221; said James Collins, Managing Partner at Eastwood Capital Partners. &#8220;I&#8217;m excited to see the positive impact we make with these first locations in the greater Dallas area, and I&#8217;m even more excited to continue my partnership with the Retro Fitness team as we open more health clubs for local communities to benefit from, in more ways than one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a world class franchise, Retro Fitness is one of the few franchisors in any industry that offers a true, full suite of services. In addition to real estate site selection and negotiation, construction and delivery of a true turnkey box, dedicated area managers and a Support Center for training and development, they also offer services that consist of an in-house media agency, call center, accounting services and more, all to ensure franchisees and investors are supported from the start.<\/p>\n<p>The first four locations are now open in the greater Dallas area.
