The health and fitness market – the key statistics you need to know
The health and fitness sector has experienced positive growth over the past 10 years. All of the key industry reports and statistics show that it is the affordable, low-cost sector of the market that is responsible for driving this growth.
énergie is the only fitness franchisor to operate in the low-cost / budget sector of the market with one of the most accessible and affordable membership offers available.
This enables our franchisees to attract the widest possible range of members, from savvy gym users to first-timers and everyone in-between.
A franchise at the forefront of the industry
Adding value to the membership offer whilst improving our franchisees operating model is a key focus for énergie.
Recognising how the pandemic has changed the game for the fitness industry. We have developed a multi-channel membership model. This combines our traditional in-gym experience with ” énergie online”, featuring live and on-demand exercise sessions.
In late 2020, Health Club Management Magazine produced its top 20 fitness trends for 2020, ranking the hybrid gym model (combining a traditional in-gym experience with online) as the number 1 trend for the future of the industry.
The best possible team in your corner every step of the way
As an énergie Fitness franchisee, you’ll be fully supported by a team of expert operators with a proven track record of success.
From the moment you join us as a franchisee, we’ll work with you through every step of the process. This includes:
- Working alongside our dedicated in-house property acquisition team who will help you to find and secure the right site, assisting with lease negotiations.
- Benefit from our relationships with industry-leading suppliers for membership management, gym equipment, signage and marketing.
- Working with our Operations team with regular performance management, regional meetings and an extensive on-going calendar of training.
