The business was established in 2003 and there are now 15 Australian outlets and more than 2000 overseas outlets. A franchise investment starts at $350 000.

Snap Fitness is all about 24/7, compact state-of-the-art fitness centres. Founded in 2003 in the US, Snap Fitness offers a proven business model to Australian entrepreneurs looking for a slice of the high growth and profitable fitness industry, estimated to be worth more than $21 billion.

Australia and New Zealand managing director Roz Barker believes the beauty of such an established business with international experience is that franchisees are provided with unlimited support and knowledge.

We’ve had complete newcomers to the industry make a profit within six weeks of opening, Barker says.

This is testament to the enormous amount of work that has been done behind the scenes over many years to ensure complete business success.

To ensure the international brand is protected, franchisees are carefully recruited to ensure they embody the values of quality, service and vibrancy that Snap Fitness is known for.

Locations are just as carefully selected. Snap Fitness has an aggressive growth plan for Australia and New Zealand, with the objective of 200 outlets within four years.

We’ve proven that we know what we are doing. We’re now looking for the right franchisee partners to join the team, Barker says.

Snap Fitness has more than 2000 locations sold internationally and over 30 new stores added monthly.
