9Round is a boutique gym franchise for savvy investors
9Round, a world class franchise with over 750 studio gyms operating globally, is set to deliver premium returns to UK investors, having proved the concept domestically.
The gym sector is a popular segment of the health and fitness industry, and boutique studio style gyms like 9round is one of the niche markets seeing the biggest growth; whereas the traditional machine-filled gyms are fighting each other on price.
9Round is part of Lift Brands. Lift Brands is a global player with a portfolio of franchised businesses within the health and fitness sector. Globally this totals 2000+ units across 26 countries. This scale is only achievable through operating with absolute professionalism, ensuring everything is done to help franchisees succeed.
The UK team responsible for both 9Round is based in South West London and are available to provide support at every stage of your journey, from sourcing property to training your management team and promoting your units.
We are looking for investors across the UK with the capabilities to build their own gym business.
What is 9Round?
The 9Round workout consists of 9 rounds, 3 minutes each, 30 seconds rest, all completed in just over 30 minutes. Based on the fundamentals of kickboxing, the rounds combine bag work with functional and cardio training.
