BizSugar.com › Startups › Secrets of Success: Sam Langer

Meet: Sam Langer. Sam was the first franchisee of GYMGUYZ (a personal training franchise providing convenient, customized and creative workouts) and made his investment back in under two months. At 24, Sam was bored in his corporate job as a project sports planner for ESPN, but he always found time to head to the gym and enjoyed training his colleagues and bosses on the side. While Sam’s parents were on vacation, they met Josh York, the CEO and founder of GYMGUYZ, in the buffet line, of all places. Josh’s passion about the concept led to a phone call to Sam, who bought 14 territories in and around Westchester, New York.
