This week’s entrepreneur of the week is Bedriye Hülya, an Endeavor Turkey entrepreneur who built b-fit, a chain of gyms for women in Turkey, that are also staffed and run by women.

In a call from Istanbul to New York at the time, Hulya chats with us about staffing the gyms with all women, her challenges creating a gym franchise, scaling up in Turkey, her aspirations to enter the Arab World, and the advice that she typically gives entrepreneurs and women.

“We have to believe that we can do anything that we want to. As long as we decide that it’s our right to start businesses, I am sure every woman will be successful,” she says.
