However when that number is called, it gets rerouted to (817)-656-9255
When calling that number, you get the "We're sorry, the number you have dialed is not a working number"
A search on that number comes up with this:
Do, Linh

North Richland Hills, TX 76180-5705
(817) 656-9255
That poor bastard must have changed his number recently after getting innundated with phone calls from FTFY shareholders.
Looks like this company has gone belly up. It's showing no signs of life.
I'm a stuckholder, as I'm sure many others here are.

That figures doesn't it?
Every company I ever bookmark on IHUB in time becomes silent. :(
I left a few messages at the Fit After Fifty franchise locations. It appears they are still open, and may be able to provide shareholders with some insight on what's going on within the corporate structure of our company.
I cannot get thru to any of the numbers on our website, phone or fax.
These are the locations I've contacted. Only the first two had an active number. The other three were disconnected and/or went to a voicemail of a company with a different name, and I feel the franchises must have gone belly up. I will advise this forum if I receive any pertinent information concerning why management appears to have gone AWOL on us.

There is no response from Fit After Fifty management, and I've exhausted all available methods.
Am doing searches now to see if they've become insolvent
Sounds like you have the emails covered.
I tried all the phone numbers I could find from past PR's and the web site, everything was disconnected or wrong number.
I then attempted to protray myself in a email as someone interested in a franchise by applying at the web site for "more information"..........still waiting
The agony -- the CEO of FTFY is no longer answering my emails and appears to have NO experience in running a publicly traded company. I'm still a shareholder and at this point there is little reason why I'd sell here at such pathetic prices.
Management is clearly not on the ball when it comes to shareholder relations.
What's to say?
With no PR since mid November, I am wondering if they are even still in business?
I'm still in FTFY, but have not taken liberties in averaging down further at this point.
I've been emailing the CEO but he has not replied to any of my shareholder concerns, so this leaves me a bit aprehensive to do so.
FTFY management clearly does NOT hold itself to high standards when it comes to shareholder guidance thru simple communication.
But alas.. I am still holding
anyone still in this, or better yet scoopin up cheapie shares?

So difficult to scoop up sub .07 shares - been trying for days and days to accumulate below .07. I've got a ton of FTFY and believe we will literally skyrocket when the numbers come out.
been trying for weeks @ .04
then bumped it up to .05 and they havent sold me a single share yet. I want to get into this before all the fattys go on their New Years resolution kick / profits are up and company has something to really talk about, like last year.

Hey Smilin...
Checking in again after quite a while. Hope all is well. Doesn't seem like you trading such a low-volume stock (probably isn't you! lol).
Just to bring back a few memories - my babies are now big - almost 4 and 5. They're keeping me extremely busy! Still working on my trading - someday I'll get it!
Anyways, hi to Butterflies, and wish you the best.

FTFY's 3rd quarter report should be out at any time now.
From what I understand, we fired our Director of Marketing (as he was completely useless). Also,not a single one of the franchises opened to date has achieved profitability. why? Because they havent been properly trained. I'm hearing we now have Support in place for these franchise owners, so they can be "schooled" on how to run their gym properly to increase revenues and net profits. IT'S ABOUT TIME !!
Also, the website (which I agree is archaic and really very elementary) had technical issues which prevented potential franchise owners et. al. from submitting/exchanging information. This issue went on for TWO MONTHS prior to being fixed. Something so simple could have been avoided, if monitored. Who is our webmaster???
I'm also hearing we've once again contracting with brokers to increase franchise leads, and that we're projected to double the number of franchise sales each month into the new year.
There is also a Major Direct Marketing Campaign currently in place (you know the drill - mailings, flyers,newspaper ad's, radio commercials). The grand opening of our "Flagship Studio" is in progress from what I understand.
Lot's going on actually, that lead me to believe current management is on the ball finally. Wouldnt it also be nice if we could get some exposure to the investment community? We are, afterall, a publicly traded company - yet I see absolutely ZERO in the way of increasing awareness to that end. Current management needs to SERIOUSLY brush up on what it means to be owners of a publicly traded company, and that they have significant responsibilities to shareholders.
Let's hope that due to all of the above, we're again able to increase franchise sales and get back on track.
I own a lot of FTFY, and have been trying to accumulate more under .07 with zero luck. There is hardly any volume in this stock.
The current numbers are as follows:
80 million shares authorized
66 million shares have been issued, of which 52 million are restricted (not tradable - SEC rules)
14 million shares are in the public float
Wouldnt it be nice for our company to be in touch with brokers of another kind, other than ones geared toward franchises? Let's wake up management and demand that more awareness be made to the financial community.
Hope some of my info helped, although I doubt anyone here reads this board.

So difficult to scoop up sub .07 shares - been trying for days and days to accumulate below .07. I've got a ton of FTFY and believe we will literally skyrocket when the numbers come out.
It seems to continue to be nothing more than a bunch of fluff bombs.
I'm still following this and I have yet to see a 10Q or 10K filing!
Buyer beware, imho.
I've taken liberty in purchasing as many shares below .07 as I can. I cannot believe how this one is being completely overlooked by wallstreet.
Value play here...
Thanks B. Being an IT guy, keeping their website up to date would help alot IMHO. Old data on their page makes them seem 'asleep at the wheel' of sorts. Although, the volatility Ive been seeing with this stock sure makes it tempting to flip.

Where do they say 100 franchises are coming in the next 4 months? There are only about a dozen listed on their site, and the investor page has 2004 financials.
Well, it's at 5 cents a share....way down from it's 52 week High!
Isn't that reason enough?
Why is it we cant seem to get a discussion forum going here? FTFY has so much going for it - 100 new franchises slated by the year end??? Doesnt seem anyone cares
I'm loaded to the gills and am expecting one hell of a return on my investment by year end.
FTFY (the company, not necessarily the stock) shows zero signs of a slow down as far as franchisee signups are concerned.
FTFY is a buy at current levels and should provide a return of well over 100% from current levels over the short term.
I LOVE THIS STOCK!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Added today at .05. I can't believe this. It's been like taking candy from a baby. LOL When this thing starts to run it flat out flies. It's gotta be close. This is due for a helluva run again! Can't believe I'm loaded at .05. LOL Holy sheot!! This is gonna be good!
Finally got in today at .08 - this will provide a double from current levels
Tried once again to add to my position at .09 but no dice!
Tried to scoop up .11 shares earlier (no dice)

Fit after Fifty Inc. Expands Marketing Campaign
Business Wire - April 10, 2006 06:20
FORT WORTH, Texas, Apr 10, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Fit After Fifty, Inc. (Pink Sheets:FTFY) announced today that it is expanding its marketing campaign to include 40 plus adults and also encourage them to improve their health and fitness at Fit After 50(TM) fitness centers. The message: "To be Fit After 50, you should begin at 40."
Fit After Fifty President, Forrest Stewart, commented that: "To be Fit After 50, you should begin at 40 is a compelling message to the younger 'Baby Boomers' and they are making up a growing part of those joining our fitness centers. The inviting environment and serious fitness program at Fit After Fifty fitness centers is attractive to those in their 40's as well as those over 50. We are expanding our marketing reach to include this important demographic."
I cannot believe the shareprice continues to remain stagnant while franchise expansion news arrives on a weekly basis. FTFY is DEFINITELY off the radar of the investment community.
I'm loaded at .15 and will add on any significant dips, and/or when I see above average volume enter in.
This is truly retarded...
PR 4/5/06 And they sign ANOTHER franchisee! AWESOME!

FTFY chart seems to be shaping up somewhat...OBV has bottomed - will watch for it to upturn. CCI heading up and RSI hitting 50 line now....
worth close review over next few days.
I'm back in too. I love this company and it's one of the best kept secrets in pinkyland. These guys are so upfront about everything.
* Take a look at pinksheets.com and they have all the quarterly financial reports neatly put on there. Why are they doing this? Could they be setting up a move to a different exchange?
* They project they will be profitable in the 3rd quarter. And everything they say they'll do they've done.
* They list their locations so you can go and check them out.
* They are definitely not a P & D. They are making things happen on their own merits.
Comparing them with Curves and it makes for exciting thoughts. They are in a much better position of gaining loads of franchises. Curves caters to mostly women. This company caters to the baby boomers which is a HUGE market.
Good luck to whoever was smart enough to find this gem. We got a winner here.
Back in FTFY today at .15 Took some decent profits over .20
.15 is chart support
Should bounce here and reverse trend a bit
Just came home from a mini holiday & saw FTFY traded as low as .17/share
In my opinion, she should double bottom around .15
I'll be an agressive accumulator at these levels.
For the gentleman requesting more "detailed" information on the company, simply contact Mr. Forrest Stewart at the following email address:
fwstewart@att.net
I called the transfer agent. The still have 60 million shares issued and outstanding.
I tried calling a few numbers to get more info to no avail. I am interested in this company because the path to growth and profitability is clear. Now, will the new stores be successful. If they are, that bodes well for the future, but, of course, it is still early in the "game."
FTFY: $0.22b $0.23a
