Training Mate

Training Mate is a social fitness movement—51% social, 49% fitness. Members join for our fun, 45-minute HIIT classes and stay for the friendships, events, and community spirit. Founded in Australia and refined in Los Angeles, Training Mate began in 2013 when former pro rugby player Luke “Milts” Milton opened his first West Hollywood studio. His mission was simple: make fitness fun, keep coaches approachable, and help anyone achieve a healthy lifestyle. If you ask any great trainer what workout someone should do to get results, they’ll usually say: the workout you enjoy. Because if you enjoy it, you’ll stay consistent — and consistency is what ultimately drives results. Training Mate delivers on that. It’s a fun workout that keeps people coming back, which is why the membership model works so well. Our workouts are fast, varied, and welcoming. With 45-second stations, the energy stays high, legendary coaches tailor sessions to all abilities, and low-impact cardio delivers results without injury. No two workouts are ever the same, keeping members engaged and challenged. For franchise owners, Training Mate offers a proven model with strong AUV, high profit margins, centralized programming, and the backing of a trusted, growing brand. It’s a fun, rewarding business that builds fitter, happier, healthier communities.

My wife and I had a great experience with Training Mate. We were early franchisees and the support was solid. The assistance with hiring / training our new team members was especially valuable.

Training Mate team was thorough, transparent, and very easy to work with. They addressed every question I had, withheld nothing, and did a great job making me feel comfortable with my decision. They were very honest… they did not inflate or overpromise - something I really appreciated.

The whole process was very streamlined and professional. The team at Training Mate has been absolutely incredible to work with. For about 6 weeks of so I was taking multiple zoom calls per week with Gillian from Training Mate, other franchisees, the loan broker, the corporate team, and more. They made sure that all my questions were answered along the way so that I was confident that I was making the right decision.

My experience with Training Mate throughout the franchise process has been incredibly positive. From the very beginning, I’ve felt supported, informed, and genuinely set up for success. The process of opening a studio comes with a lot of moving pieces, and having a team that is accessible, collaborative, and invested in its franchise partners has made a meaningful difference. I especially want to recognize Gillian, who has been an invaluable resource throughout the entire journey. Her knowledge of the business, responsiveness, and willingness to provide guidance at every stage have been exceptional. She has a great ability to balance sharing her expertise and the Training Mate standards while also listening, problem-solving, and providing practical support when needed. What has stood out most is the genuine partnership. I’ve never felt like I was navigating the process alone. Gillian and the Training Mate team have created an experience that feels personal, supportive, and focused on building a strong foundation for long-term success. I’m incredibly excited about what’s ahead and very grateful to Gillian and the entire Training Mate team for their continued support.
