With existing knowledge and experience of franchising, I knew that being part of an existing, established brand would help me enjoy a quicker return on investment.

Having a franchisor that’s been there and done it and is only ever a phone call away makes the process easy to follow. Most importantly, they want the best for both you and the brand and there’s something really inspiring about that.

Initial investment for a new gym can range from approximately £750,000 to £1,000,000. We partner with major high street banks and funding partners so that up to 70% of the investment can be bank funded.
