Bedros Keuilian, a fitness entrepreneur who has launched over 600 franchises in the fitness space, shares his inspiring journey on this podcast. Born in a communist country, Bedros and his family escaped to the US, facing challenges and bullying. His transformation through fitness in high school inspired him to become a personal trainer.
Struggling initially, Bedros became a personal trainer, and in 2008, he adapted his system by introducing indoor boot camps. His business, Fit Body Boot Camp, has gained trust and quick franchisee onboarding due to his effective social media presence.
