Journey 333stands out as a fitness franchise offering a holistic approach to health and wellness. Launched in April 2013 by Travis and Cyndy Barnes, the brand was built on the idea of creating a welcoming, cost-effective coaching atmosphere where members feel like part of a family.
This commitment to community and support has shaped the core of Journey 333 from the very beginning. With its headquarters in Sayre, Pennsylvania, the company expanded its reach by opening its franchise program, bringing its innovative fitness concept to new locations.
Journey 333 delivers a high-return, scalable business model by combining the effectiveness of personal training with the efficiency of group sessions. This method allows clients to benefit from individualized coaching at a more affordable rate while helping gym owners positively influence a larger number of participants at once.
