Snap Fitness is growing with ambitious plans for 200 new clubs across Australia and New Zealand in the next four years.
The concept behind Snap Fitness, the world’s fastest-growing fitness franchise, is a simple one: compact, 24/7 gyms with state-of-the-art equipment, minimum staffing and no fuss. Founded in 2003 in the United States, Snap took fitness in a new direction with a business model based on minimal overheads and high return.
The brand made its Australian debut at the tail end of last year and offers a proven formula to entrepreneurs looking for a slice of the high growth and profitable fitness industry, estimated to be worth more than $21 billion.
Initial investment starts at $350,000 with the potential to begin recouping start-up costs in a matter of weeks – as was the case for franchisee Nigel Blackwell of Snap Fitness Carina: “The key advantage of the model for me is that it’s self-reliant. It doesn’t require a hands-on owner manager to succeed,” he said.
“The club was turning a profit within the first month which meant I could take a step back and allow the club manager to deal with the business on a day-to-day basis. I’m currently scouting for new Queensland locations and my plan is to have multiple Snap Fitness franchises in operation by the end of the year.”
