Heskett Center site of first university-hosted F45 Franchisee Draft Day on May 6

In keeping with Wichita State's emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship, the WSU Alumni Association helped facilitate the arrival of an F45 fitness studio on campus. The studio opened Jan. 9 in the Heskett Center. After F45 workouts -- "F" stands for high-intensity functional training and "45" stands for 45 minutes -- became part of the Heskett Center's slate of Shocker Fit classes, class attendance nearly tripled: 1,419 in January 2017 compared to 553 in January 2016.

Now, the WSU Alumni Association is partnering with F45 to offer the opportunity for entrepreneurs to become an F45 franchisee, with the potential of earning $600,000 annually. Sign up here -- http://f45invest.com/event/wichita-draft-day/ -- to attend the Saturday, May 6 F45 Franchisee Draft Day event at the Heskett Center. Beginning at 10:30 a.m., the event will let you witness F45 training firsthand, meet the F45 team and learn how you can profit from becoming an F45 franchise owner. Attendees will be eligible for $10,000 off the cost of a franchise.

Wichita State is the second university campus in the United States to have an F45 fitness studio. WSU is the first to host an F45 Franchisee Draft Day event.
