ISI® Elite Training Launches 25th Location in Elizabeth, NC
Multi-Unit Franchise Owner, Brandon Jackson brings the 25th ISI® Elite Training facility to the Elizabeth neighborhood, serving residents and professionals in Uptown Charlotte.
ISI® Elite Training, one of the nation’s fastest-growing boutique fitness concepts featuring Athletic-Based Training (ABT), opened its 25th location in the Charlotte market today, this time serving the professionals and residents of Uptown Charlotte. Franchise owner, Brandon Jackson has plans to develop another facility in the Charlotte market and another soon to follow in Mount Pleasant, SC.
Jackson is among a successful group of former members who made the transition to franchise owners within the ISI® brand. A professional realtor for more than 16 years, Jackson was looking for a path to greater professional and financial freedom after the start of the pandemic.
“I decided that fitness franchising was the right direction for me and I was impressed by Adam’s leadership and the overall ISI® business model,” said Jackson. “I’m currently set up to open three ISI® facilities, but I could see owning 5-10 facilities in the coming years.”
As a father of four, Jackson is determined to be in the best shape he can be in for himself and his family, while also being close to home.
“Being part of a community that lifts each other up and pushes each member to be better every day is why I’m a part of ISI® Elite Training.”
