1: The health and fitness market continues to grow.
Information published in the middle of 2024 revealed that the UK health and fitness sector is in its best shape ever. This is predicted to continue into 2025.
The statistics which come from Leisure DB’s 2024 State of the UK fitness industry report, showed that:
Overall, the UK health and fitness industry is performing strongly, with our data showing member numbers, market value and penetration all surpassing pre-pandemic levels and reaching all-time highs.
So, if you’re looking to open a business in the health and fitness sector, there’s never been a better time to get started and we’re here to help you realise that goal.
2: You’ll own a business that makes a real difference to people’s lives
There’s no better feeling than owning a business that genuinely helps people
Many businesses claim to deliver a positive impact on people’s lives, but not many have the proof.
As a gym owner, you’ll provide a valuable resource to the community in your chosen location and have the opportunity to transform your members lives for the better.
3: The freedom and flexibility
The fitness franchise model suits a variety of ownership styles.
You can run the business as an owner-operator, working in the business.
Or you can be an investor and have a gym manager in place who runs the day-to-day operations of the business.
This can be a great option if you already own an existing business and want to expand your portfolio.
With our systems, you can monitor the performance of your business in real time, from anywhere in the world.
Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to go into a new business, and the gym franchise model could be the perfect way to help you to achieve your goals and aspirations.
4: Benefit from the power of predictable revenue
One of the advantages of the gym franchise model is the simplicity of the business operation.
Many gym members pay monthly by direct debit meaning that it is easier to predict your membership income based upon the number of members you have.
If you’re a multi-unit operator, this makes it easier to monitor the performance and predict revenue and returns across your network of gyms.
By offering a range of membership options, each with increasing value in the membership offer, you can drive up the membership yield (the average membership fees across your gym or network of gyms).
5: You don’t need a background in health and fitness
Our énergie Fitness franchise owners come from a diverse range of backgrounds.
There’s a common cliché in franchising that “you’re in business for yourself, not by yourself”…
And whilst you see that statement a lot, there’s a reason it sticks, because it’s true.
The Empowered Brands team who support énergie Fitness in the UK & Ireland have been helping people to launch their own gyms for over two decades.
There’s nothing we haven’t seen when it comes to launching your own gym business.
