What Support Do I Get?
You don’t need to know how to open a gym, that’s our job. We provide a comprehensive support structure, with over 20 industry specialists in our Support Office committed to helping you achieve success:
- Planning and Finance - support with business planning and access to funding of up to 60% of start-up costs from leading high street banks, including HSBC UK
- Property - location is vital to a gym’s success. We work with you to source and negotiate on lucrative properties to set you up for success
- Recruitment and training - build a winning team with access to fitness recruitment specialists
- Gym build and design - different locations require different gym equipment and offerings. Our equipment partners and in-house team help franchisees create the optimum equipment offering and layout
- Marketing - you only get one chance to make a first impression and to help new franchisees settle in and concentrate on the build process, we manage the pre-opening marketing. We create your gym’s online webpage and shop window, as well as managing your social media and digital advertising.
- Ongoing support - you’ll be assigned a Regional Operations Manager (ROM) with significant experience of operating gyms at management level to maximise your revenue
“The support has been amazing. Each department is there to help whenever I have a question or new challenge. The operational support has also been fantastic, as has the help we received in marketing our locations. Over time, I’ve developed my skill set and can confidently say I now understand what it takes to run a franchise – or five!
