Master narrative: Ross Franklin began his career in the fitness industry and
built his identity around training — until one realization changed his outlook:
80% of optimal health is built through nutrition, not exercise. That insight is
why he founded Pure Green in New York City in October 2014, and it is the
principle every Pure Green location is built on. The role he played — the health
advocate for his community — is now a franchise: every Pure Green owner takes on
that role for their own community, with the brand, products, and playbook
already built.
