Consider a Multi-Unit Gym Franchising Opportunity with Us

Snap Fitness has been setting new benchmarks for innovation in the fitness and franchising markets since 2003. As the fitness industry continues to grow, we’re cementing our place as a leading health and wellness brand, making us a great option for entrepreneurs looking for a multi-unit gym franchising opportunity. 

We consistently put our franchisees and members at the core of everything we do.

We’ve continuously evolved our business model to maintain our leading brand position, providing top-tier support for both franchisees and members across our global network of nearly 1,000 gyms in 20+ countries. 

Unlike other gyms, we’re proving fitness can be achieved differently. And better. Our holistic and supportive step-by-step approach helps members achieve their fitness goals, regardless of their shape, size, or level of experience. By making it simple and positive for members to stick to their routines, we’re replacing fear with fun!

We’re seeking forward-thinkers who appreciate not only the commercial opportunity but also the chance to serve their communities. If you’re an ambitious, service-oriented entrepreneur who shares our mission and wants to be a part of the growing global health and wellness market, you’ll realize our franchise offering is too great an opportunity to stop at a single unit. 

The Benefits of Multi-Unit Franchising

If you consider the opportunities that come with owning one franchise, also bear in mind all the benefits available through multi-unit ownership. Snap Fitness offers a world-class franchise opportunity, one that’s ideal for more than one location. Once our innovative approach to fitness becomes more apparent to consumers in your area, you’ll need more locations to keep up with demand!

Some of the benefits of owning multiple units include:

  • You’ll have greater income potential. If you’re familiar with the concept of scale, you’ll realize that by opening multiple locations, you can grow an empire of businesses by penetrating the market and adding additional territories. This allows you to generate increased revenue and a higher net income.

  • You’ll see a reduction in costs. By purchasing multiple units upfront, you’ll be able to leverage your investment over several locations, spreading out the fixed costs. A multiple-unit investment with Snap Fitness also grants you a reduced initial franchise fee with each additional location.

  • You’ll minimize staffing expenses while maintaining more skilled staff members. When you have multiple locations in a close area, you can transfer staff between locations to better fit your business needs. 

  • You’ll benefit from shared expertise. By starting with one location and then scaling with more locations as you grow, you’ll be able to leverage your experience to launch and run subsequent units more efficiently. This will help generate better operational and economic results at a faster rate.

  • You’ll reduce your risk. Owning multiple locations also reduces your financial risk while providing more opportunities for success and diversifying your investment. 

4 Reasons Why a Snap Fitness Franchise Investment Makes Sense

Over our 20-plus years of operations, Snap Fitness has become a recognized leader in the premium 24/7 gym space. Here are some reasons why you should consider franchising with us: 

1. You’ll have the backing of a proven, global brand. As the winner of the 2022 Best Fitness Franchise award from Global Franchise Magazine, we’re continuing to lead the way in innovation and growth, a great asset to our franchisees. While we’re headquartered in the US, we’re rapidly expanding with regional teams in EMEA and APAC. 

As a global business, you’ll benefit from our globally established network and economies of scale. You can leverage our infrastructure and wealth of experience, enhanced by unrivaled local market expertise, knowledge, and support. Plus, we have existing global vendor agreements that can reduce the required investment for project setup, equipment, and ongoing costs.

2. The global health and wellness market is steadily growing. After seeing growth for over a decade, the global health club industry is currently worth over $96.7 billion. With memberships rapidly rising, estimates show there are over 201,000 health and fitness clubs and over 174 million members of these clubs worldwide. 

Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the US market alone saw a growth of 3.8% in member participation since 2019. As more individuals gain a heightened awareness of exercise as an important component of a healthy lifestyle, we’re welcoming record-breaking numbers of new members, further bolstering our existing membership base. The market only penetrates a small percentage of the population, so the opportunity is huge. We’re proud to be a part of the industry’s success story and welcome you to join us!

3. We have clubs designed for everywhere. Our clubs offer members a variety of ways to help them move more in a welcoming, mood-lifting environment. As a franchisee, you’ll appreciate that our fit-outs can be adapted for a wide variety of units, creating opportunities for every market, whether you’re part of a small community or a large city.
