Within a few years, BODYTEC has become one of South Africa’s fitness franchise success stories – and it all started with the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
Having worked for most of his life in the European soccer industry, Boris Leyck came to South Africa in 2007 to work in the lead-up to the Soccer World Cup 2010. Boris experienced EMS training in Germany in early 2010, which inspired him to pursue his passion for health and fitness and change his career path. Instead of moving to Brazil to prepare for the next World Cup, Boris made Cape Town his home and launched the first EMS studio in the country in 2011!
He saw the potential to take BODYTEC national and started investigating the route of turning BODYTEC into a fitness franchise. Many of the franchise partners of BODYTEC are former clients who were so impressed with the personal results they experienced, that they were inspired to open their own studios. Others have heard of the benefits that EMS can offer potential customers and have partnered with BODYTEC because it is the premier South African EMS provider accredited by the Franchise Association of South Africa (FASA).
