If you’ve ever thought about leaving behind the 9-to-5 corporate world and turning your passion for fitness into a profitable career, gym franchising with Snap Fitness could be a great fit for you! Owning a fitness business affords you the personal freedom to put your heart and soul into a fulfilling vocation on your terms while investing in your financial future. 

At Snap Fitness, we’re a welcome change of pace for entrepreneurs looking to break free from the grind of their daily lives and work toward building an asset for years to come. We’ve been leading innovation in the fitness industry since 2003 and consistently putting our franchisees and members at the core of everything we do.

As we grow our global network of 1,000+ clubs and more than a million members, we’re looking for ambitious, service-oriented franchisees who share our mission. We’re uniquely positioned to stay ahead of the competition as a market leader in the premium 24/7 segment of the gym industry. 

We’re reframing working out, replacing the perception of gyms as scary and competitive with a friendly, non-competitive focus. We’re proud to offer the most inclusive and supportive fitness experience to members of every level. As a franchise owner, we’ll show you how to utilize our proven business model, comprehensive training, and ongoing support to run a successful fitness center and help members of your community discover a lasting passion for an active lifestyle.

Daily Operations of a Snap Fitness Franchisee

Snap Fitness is all about making gym club operations simple for our franchise owners. We work closely with our franchisees, as collaboration is integral to our success. 

So what can you expect when it comes to daily operations as an owner? While every day might not be the same, here’s an idea of what a typical day could look like:

  • In the morning, you’ll skip the business attire and instead rock your favorite athletic gear and sneakers. Who doesn’t love showing up as you are and giving it your best?

  • Owning a gym requires a balance of professionalism and leadership. You’ll open up your location and on top of checking in with your team and training clients (if you choose), you’ll handle administrative tasks.

  • The remainder of your day will likely find you in fitness classes and meetings with team members and investors before handing off responsibilities to the manager covering the overnight crowd. 

 

One of the greatest aspects of becoming a fitness franchise owner is the flexible schedule it affords. You’ll find that your days will look a lot different from your previous corporate in-office agenda, offering you more time to focus on what matters to you: health, wellness, and balance.

As the boss, you’ll have more control over your time and efforts. Yes, you’ll still be responsible for your team and the business, but you’ll have much more flexibility with your work schedule. Once you’ve staffed your gym with skilled instructors and trainers, you’ll find your perfect work-life balance and gain more freedom throughout the week.
