If you’re considering your next business investment, you’ll undoubtedly be exploring the range of options available to you. If you’re looking for a healthy investment and the platform to make a healthy difference to people’s lives, here’s our top reasons why fitness franchising could be right for you.

 

  1. It’s flexible

Fitness franchising gives you the flexibility to be an owner-operator or owner-investor, with no prior fitness industry experience. While we encourage our franchisees to get hands-on with the day-to-day running of their gym, our tried and tested model allows you to recruit an expert team of staff to take on the majority of this on your behalf. We know getting the right team is vital, so we work with an industry-leading recruitment partner to make sure you get the best people for your gym.

 

  1. The fitness industry shows consistent growth

The 2024 State of the UK Fitness Industry Report has shown our industry has never been healthier. Membership levels and market value have reached an all-time high, with the industry continuing to grow year-on-year. These stats show the future potential of the industry and a sustained demand for gym memberships. We’re proud that against an average membership growth of 4% across the industry, Snap Fitness gyms in the UK have grown by more than 17%.

 

  1. More customer loyalty

The fitness industry provides you with more reliable monthly income compared to other high street franchises. Customers traditionally have a short-term contract or membership agreement, so it’s easier to forecast and track your monthly revenue. This customer loyalty gives you greater opportunities to build positive relationships and particularly compared to quick service businesses, reduced marketing costs.

 

  1. It’s rewarding

There’s very few industries you can work in that are as rewarding as the fitness industry. Owning your own gym gives you the platform to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of your communities and see life-changing member transformations first hand.

 

  1. You can turn a passion into a career

Many of our franchisees are active gym members and have chosen to invest in our industry because of the huge personal benefits they’ve seen from the gym themselves. We’re fortunate to be in one of the few industries where you can make a living from a personal passion and as the old saying goes, “find a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
