FAQS

---

Q. Is the G.S.20 Express Workout hard to learn?

A. No, if you cannot come to Michigan for initial training, a DVD and complete written instructions are provided as well as telephone and e-mail support until the system is set up and integrated properly.

Q. How much does it cost?

A. A $15,000 investment includes six months of support, as well as materials and a marketing package. In addition, a 36-month royalty fee of $200/month will be assessed and automatically withdrawn electronically from your credit card account or bank account.

Q. Do I need new equipment?

A. We have found that most of our clients have the bulk of the equipment necessary already in place. Sometimes additional equipment will be required. At our discounted rates, equipment costs range from $5,000 - $35,000. Given the increase in retention and the additional revenue generated by the G.S. 20 Express Workout, the benefits financially outweigh the costs by a huge margin.

Q. I have a problem with my club members "wandering" through their workouts; this creates a hectic environment for other club members. Will the G.S.20 Express Workout help with this problem?

A. Yes. The workouts are structured and take approximately 20 minutes start to finish and are organized in a line format. Club members love this system; they can get in and out fast and accomplish their fitness goals in an efficient manner consistent with today's hectic lifestyle.

Q. Do I need a special room for the G.S. 20 Express Workout system?

A. No, the necessary existing equipment can be organized into any area, which can be dedicated to the G.S. 20 Express Workout line format.

Q. Should I charge a fee for G. S. 20 Express Workout?

A. If your goal is just to increase retention and referrals within your club, then no. If you want to increase revenue, your club can charge $20 -$40/month for access to the G.S.20 Express Workout. Your return on investment depends on how many members you can convert. For example, 400 members times $40/month x 12 months=$192,000 in increased revenue.

Q. How long does the G.S. 20 Express Workout take to implement?

A. After your club assessment, which is included in the cost of G.S. 20 Express Workout, and depending on equipment needs and training coordination, it will take one to two weeks implementation time.

Q. What if I want on-going support and updates after six months?

A. It is available at $100 per month in yearly packages. This includes updated advertising promotional information plus materials and unlimited phone and e-mail support.

Q. Would you or your staff come to my club as part of a club promotion?

A. Yes. However, please understand that everyone here at the G.S. 20 Express Workout is very busy. Although our schedules are quite full, we will make every attempt to help you, as we do with all our clients, and as scheduling permits.

Q. I have 7 clubs in total. Is the cost $15,000 per club?

A. We do have multiple package discounts available, just ask us.

Q. Can I write off the expense of the G.S. 20 Express Workout?

A. In most cases yes - It is a business expense but check with your individual tax consultant on how to structure the G.S. 20 Express Workout for the maximum tax advantage.

Q. Can the G.S. 20 Express Workout be used as a "stand alone" concept?

A. Yes. We have spoken to many clients who intend to use the G.S. 20 Express Workout in new start-up facilities. If you consider that the equipment and facility expenditures are a fraction of the cost associated with a traditional health club start-up, the return on investment is phenomenal and affords the chance to open multiple G.S. 20 Express Workout locations for the same dollar outlay as our competition does for one location.

Q. Why haven't we heard about the G.S. 20 Express Workout before?

A. We just kicked off our initial launch in April of 2008. Our advisors tell us that we should see widespread activity in the summer of 2008. That's why our endorsees feel the G.S. 20 Express Workout will "revolutionize the health club industry."

Q. I still have some lingering questions about implementation and the G.S. 20 Express Workout concept.

A. Please thoroughly review the website and then just give us a call. We will personally address all your questions and if you are like 95% of our clients, once you grasp the concept and the financial, referral, and retention benefits, the only question left will be "how soon will I be able to get a G.S.20 Express Workout package incorporated in my club. I want to start right now!

Q. Okay, I've spoken to you briefly and looked over the website. You say this is a simple concept to implement - is it really that simple?

A. One of our clients who is a multimillionaire businessman, who in fact has been urging us to license this concept, once told us that most people "look with their eyes, but successful people see with their minds". Many health club owners are often athletes or entrepreneurs who follow a traditional approach to business. Our argument is that by making some minor changes conceptually to their business model, ("seeing" their club differently), huge positive changes can be realized monetarily through higher retention and referrals. We also feel that our pricing structure will allow widespread implementation - which is our goal.
