When John Dougherty opened Conquer Fitness in Frisco in January of 2019, he wielded a doctorate in physical therapy, two personal loans and five credit cards which he maxed out to make his dream a reality.

Six years later, his business has expanded to five additional locations across the metroplex, using a model focused on clients aged 40 and older to help them achieve their health goals.

Dougherty and his business partner Prasanna Singaraju opened the Prosper location in February of 2025.

The set up: Semi-private sessions, which are capped at six people, last one hour and are led by a trainer who demonstrates each of the moves that comprise a full-body workout.

Sessions run throughout the day starting at 5 a.m. and ending at 7 p.m. Each session has options for beginner, intermediate and advanced clients.
