Meet the Founders, Jamie and Ellen Hayes
"We both like helping people get healthy and it brings us alive.
We have been fortunate to have good health and have always done regular exercise and eaten foods that we believed were “healthy”.
Becoming parents was challenging. Two of our three sons developed asthma early, and even though Jamie was a bad asthmatic as a young boy, it opened our eyes to pursuing preventive forms of health management to ensure the boys’ ongoing health was optimal.
Food was one area that we found made a difference to them and there started our journey into the association of how “what you put in your mouth” directly affects your health outcomes.
We’re passionate about making a difference to the health outcomes of Australians and New Zealanders, and we’re now looking for other like-minded people to share our passion within their local community.
We’ve been involved in the fitness industry for nearly 40 years; as club owners, group exercise instructors, enthusiastic participants, and now as franchisors.
Over this time, we have come to realise that getting and keeping people fit just wasn’t enough for weight control and health optimisation. Exercise, a nutrition program that suits each individual, and weekly one-on-one support are the key ingredients to our program when it comes to health and wellness.
That’s why Healthy Inspirations was born."
Why Choose Healthy Inspirations?
“Together we help create happier and healthier local communities.”
Your business will help local women … and through their success help their families in your local community achieve their goals of being able to live healthier and happier lives.
The role of nutrition in health and wellness cannot be over-estimated. Whether your member’s goal is to lose weight, improve sleep or mood, feel more energetic and vibrant, or to get fit, you’ll help her achieve her goals.

Who are your customers?
You’ll provide programs and services to your target market: women aged 40+. These women are at a life-stage where fitness-only solutions are neither comfortable nor effective.
They don’t want to go to big gyms, with big classes, and big crowds and requiring a big time commitment.
They want something smaller, more comfortable, more personal with programs that cater to their health and wellness goals … especially weight management.
For the majority of families, the woman takes responsibility for shopping and meals, so if you can help her understand how best to eat for her health as well as her family’s, then this will have a positive impact on your local community.

The program
Too often, people are confused by conflicting information and quick-fix strategies. We’ve developed proven and successful programs that lay out clear guidelines that are easily adapted to suit members’ individual tastes and lifestyles. These unique weight and wellness programs help members uncover their own individual carbohydrate tolerance, and to eat within this level to achieve their desired results.

We’ve developed proven and successful programs that lay out clear guidelines that are easily adapted to suit members’ individual tastes and lifestyles. These unique weight and wellness programs help members uncover their own individual carbohydrate tolerance, and to eat within this level to achieve their desired results.
The eating plans are based on fresh ingredients your members purchase from their local food provider (supermarket, greengrocer etc) and are complimented by a solid retail arm of snacks that help members feel full and energetic between meals – without hunger.
We understand the fears and frustrations that women can feel on their way to achieving their goals. The weekly support from your company trained coaches helps keep your members on track to achieving their goals: celebrating success, discussing challenges and working together to develop solutions. Resources like Sample Menu Plans, recipes and health education provide additional support.
You and your team work with your members towards achieving and maintaining their goals. You’ll celebrate their successes and hold them accountable, without judgement.
Today many women don’t have the time or energy to exercise as much as they would like. Your members will get great results with time-efficient resistance exercise combined with the right eating plan for their body, in as little as 75 minutes per week.
Your role as a franchisee
You’ll be providing an attractive, cost effective, warm, inviting and inclusive solution for local busy women.
Your target member has always put others first: the responsibilities of children, partners, work, and aging parents place demands on both the time and energy of many women. Realising that their health is as important as everyone else’s, they feel supported and excited when they find what our programs and your centre community can offer.
You and your team’s role is to make members feel welcome and comfortable on their wellness journey, as they meet other like-minded women and form lasting friendships – a sisterhood, if you like.

As a franchisee, you will receive from our team:
1. Full induction
This process really never ends. To get started, you’ll go on our eating plan so you have an understanding from the member perspective.
Then you’ll learn about planning and operating your business, marketing, reporting and, most importantly, serving your members.
2. Fit-out assistance of your centre
We work closely with you to select the right site. We then design the branded fit-out so that women in your local community will love coming there. In fact, many members think of our centres as a second home.
3. Complete system support
This process is not dissimilar to how you engage and provide support for your members. Weekly sessions are part of the franchisee support system, offering planning, assistance, advice, ideas, and sometimes just a sounding board, so you never feel on your own. This allows you to run your business without re-inventing the wheel.

4. Constantly updated nutritional guidance
There is more and more research about the benefits of the effect of food choices on weight and wellbeing. Our consultant dietitian Jill MacGregor guides the ongoing innovations in our programs, with input from experts in the low-carb and ketogenic world.
The no-nonsense, simple to understand programs can be delivered to your members along with the support they need. The eating plans are based on fresh ingredients your members purchase from their local food provider (supermarket, greengrocer etc) and are complimented by a solid retail arm of specially chosen snacks that help members feel full and energetic between meals – without hunger.
5. Exercise options
Programs and classes allow members to workout in their own time or join a small class. Some members will not be ready to exercise while others will come in everyday. Our franchise model removes the rigidity and allows you the freedom to select from a menu of programs that can and will support your local female community.
As a typical Healthy Inspirations centre occupies a small leased space (130 to 200 square metres) our exercise programming is laser-focused on our target member demographics, women 35 to 65. We specifically avoid electronic cardio equipment (eg treadmills), spinning rooms and large group-exercise classes.
6. Interested to learn more?
We welcome you to become a Healthy Inspirations franchisee helping us spread health and wellness benefits into your local community.
