Snap Fitness: A Franchise Fit for the Future
When Snap Fitness launched back in 2003, we set out to shake up the fitness and franchising worlds ... and we did just that. Fast forward to today, and we’ve grown into a truly global brand, with 1,000+ gyms across 20+ countries, all built on innovation, simplicity, and strong support.
We’ve never stood still. We’ve continued to evolve to stay ahead of industry trends and to help our franchisees build profitable, scalable businesses in one of the world’s most exciting sectors.
Why partner with Snap Fitness?
A proven, global brand
We’ve built Snap Fitness to be more than just a gym. It’s a welcoming, technology-driven space where members feel supported and motivated and it’s that experience that keeps them coming back. We combine cutting-edge design, integrated technology and strong partnerships to deliver a premium gym feel at an affordable price. That means broad market appeal and great retention.
Rapid membership growth
The numbers speak for themselves. According to the 2025 State of the UK Fitness Industry Report, our membership base grew 18% year on year, compared to a 5.4% industry average. We also had the third-highest number of new gym openings, proving that the model works and demand is strong. We now have over 100 locations across the UK & Ireland.
A gym experience that stands out
We put the member experience at the heart of everything we do. That means exclusive group exercise classes, striking club designs, and fresh offerings like Reformer Pilates which all help you stand out locally and give your members something they can’t get elsewhere.
Support that sets you up for success
You don’t need to know how to open a gym; that’s our job. In fact, over 80% of our franchisees had no fitness industry experience prior to investing.
From day one, you’ll have a dedicated team helping you at every stage from planning and funding to launch and growth. Access to funding: Up to 60% of start-up costs covered through our lending partners.
- Property experts: We’ll help you find the best sites for return on investment.
- Recruitment & training: Get access to the right people and top-class onboarding for you and your team.
- Marketing & pre-sales: We’ll guide your launch strategy and keep momentum going.
- Dedicated business manager: Your go-to support for running and growing your business.
- Tech & analytics: Stay ahead with real-time member insights and performance tools.
A proven investment with room to grow
Most of our franchisees see a return on their investment within three years and many go on to open multiple clubs soon after. Whether you’re hands-on as an Owner-Operator or want to take a more strategic Investor role, we’ll give you the tools and guidance to scale with confidence.
Who we’re looking for
We’re growing fast across the UK and Ireland and are on the lookout for driven, service-focused partners who want to make a difference and a solid return, all while helping people live healthier lives.
If you're:
- Business-minded with a passion for fitness and community
- Looking for a clear pathway to multi-site ownership
- Interested in working with a proven brand in a high-growth market
... then Snap Fitness could be the opportunity for you.
