Gym’s return to fitness offers a great opportunity for growth!
Asking Price: £403,000
Franchisee Role: Owner-Operator
Annual Turnover: £289,519
Established: 2018
The Opportunity
A gym that’s punching under its weight – but only for now – is looking for a new owner to take it back to full fitness and peak profitability.
Anytime Fitness in the heart of Belfast city centre is thriving despite the double blows of Pandemic shutdowns and work-from-home policies that kept many of its potential members away from their nearby offices.
So merely restoring membership numbers to pre-Pandemic levels will make a significant difference to growth, while expanding membership numbers to maximum capacity offers a potential for profitability the gym hasn’t experienced before.
The new owner will have the huge advantage of Belfast’s massive new Grand Central Station transport hub opening just a few minutes’ walk away, plus the increasing trend for employers, including BT, to insist their work-from-homers return to their nearby offices instead.
The gym, part of Britain’s biggest network and a worldwide chain covering 35 counties, is brilliantly well-fitted and maintained.
The Franchise
Anytime Fitness is a home-from-home for four million members around the world who are happy to pay more to access premium facilities and exercise among like-minded people.
The Belfast city centre gym, like its counterparts throughout the rest of the UK, has state-of-the-art equipment, individual showers, and a reputation for cleanliness and security that keeps members coming back and urging friends, family and colleagues to join them.
With only a Manager, an Assistant Manager, and four self-employed Personal Trainers who pay for the right to operate there, Anytime Fitness Belfast is an ultra-lean operation that’s open 24 hours a day but only needs staff on the premises less than half the time.
The gym’s high approval ratings of 4.9 out of 5 and the imminent opening of the Grand Central Station transport hub – plus the encouraging 300 cycle parking spaces that will come with it – present a rare opportunity to make an established business even more successful.
Summary
Simply restoring membership numbers at Anytime Fitness Belfast to their pre-Pandemic level will result in significant growth, while expanding them to the gym’s maximum capacity should make an even more substantial difference. The imminent opening of the nearby Grand Central Station transport hub plus the return-to-your-offices edict from many employers should also contribute even more lucratively to the burgeoning success of Anytime Fitness Belfast for its new owner.
