FRANCHISING WITH PURPOSE: OUR JOURNEY TO THE YARD
– Bri & David, The Yard Gym Dubbo

Q: Why Did You Choose to Franchise with The Yard?
A: With decades of experience in the fitness industry, we saw a real gap - a need for a model that combined elite, science-backed programming with flexibility and accessibility. When we found The Yard Gym, it instantly aligned with our vision. The focus on education, community, and scalable training for all levels was exactly what we’d been looking for. On top of that, the franchise offers a strong support structure and proven systems, which gave us the confidence to take the next step. Opening TYG Dubbo felt like a natural evolution - a chance to build something meaningful, empowering people to train with purpose and feel supported every step of the way.

Q: What Do You See as Our Biggest Point of Difference in the Industry?
A: The biggest difference at The Yard Gym is how it blends elite, science-backed training with a welcoming, community-focused environment. TYG treats everyone like an athlete, providing accessible yet challenging programming tailored to all levels and goals. With a strong emphasis on developing a growth mindset, members are empowered to embrace challenges and continuously improve. This commitment to education and empowerment keeps members motivated, making TYG truly inclusive and unique in the fitness industry.

Q: What are your favorite things about owning a Yard Gym and being part of the TYG community?
A: One of the most rewarding aspects of owning a Yard Gym is seeing our personal passions and values come to life within a structured franchise that truly “gets it.” TYG allows us to align our vision with a proven model, creating an environment where our goals and the brand’s values naturally thrive.

The sense of community we’ve built locally is amazing, but what’s even more impactful is being part of the network-wide TYG community. The support, collaboration, and shared goals across the entire network make us feel connected to something much bigger than just our gym.

Watching our team grow and evolve has been incredible. Their genuine passion for the brand and alignment with TYG’s values fuels their dedication to helping members succeed. Seeing that growth, both professionally and personally, is one of the most fulfilling parts of being a Yard Gym owner.
