“I know how to win, and I will win.”

Our guest, Luis Mendonca, has the BEST mindset for the founder journey!

In 2017 he launched Elite Home Fitness Franchise, an in-home and luxury residential personal training franchise. That’s right, they come to YOU!

Luis didn’t set out to be a founder. After overcoming major life challenges, he was inspired by the birth of his daughter to BE more and bring more of his potential to the world.

He dove deep into personal and professional growth, and when he saw a problem and opportunity in the fitness landscape, he found his purpose.

With a clear vision of serving folks who want or need to improve their fitness without leaving home, Luis created a business map he could scale using the franchise model. He also saw how the business could add value to the community through charitable events.

Today Elite Home Fitness is serving over 200 residences in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with plans to grow regionally, and then expand nationally.
