The FitBiz annual spring publication, now electronic, has arrived! This Spring 2006 edition, our third annual, includes the much-anticipated annual list of the “top” retailers, and boy were there ever some changes in the last year. You don’t want to miss the list, not to mention our research on who’s up, who’s down, who’s status-quo, and how business is doing.

If you thought 2004 was all about change, as we say in this Spring 2006 FitBiz, then you’ll find that was really only the prelude. When you see all that shifted and changed, acquired and went away in 2005 summarized in one place, you may be surprised what an active year it really was…especially for the Big Retailers.
FitBiz shows “quite clearly how big the few Big Ones are getting. Fitness Holdings International owns across three brand names (Busy Body, Omni and LA Gym) a total of 120 stores from the East Coast to the West Coast on Dec. 31, 2005, up 16 from a year earlier, up 73 from two years earlier and up 99 from three years earlier.”
Wow, you’ll want to see the rest too – SNEWS® subscribers get an early release peek while others in the industry will receive theirs later this week. This edition of eFitBiz is brought to you by Fitnex, Schiek, Spri Products and the Health & Fitness Business Expo & Conference, as well as SNEWS®, the insider voice of the fitness industry and the ONLY one you can rely on for the real scoop. Wake Up to Real News!
OK, OK, we’ve teased long enough. Click here to go to the Spring 2006 eFitBiz.
