A healthy investment
Snap Fitness provides franchisees with a proven business model that delivers a return on investment within three years. With recurring monthly revenue and a lean staffing structure, franchisees from other sectors are increasingly seeing the appeal of the fitness industry to diversify their portfolios:
- Recurring revenue: Franchisees receive monthly membership income via a Direct Debit
- Lean staffing model: Snap Fitness locations typically operate with two full-time staff members; a Club Manager and an Assistant Manager. This maximises profit margins and means a low payroll-to-revenue ratio
- Continued brand innovation: We’re consistently investing in products and programmes to keep Snap Fitness a step ahead of the competition
- Great reputation with lenders: Given our continued strong performance, both our high street banking partners have increased the amount of funding available to new Snap Fitness franchisees in the past 12 months
