The latest Snap Fitness club beat the group’s pre-sale records with more than 780 members joining the facility in Pontyclun before its launch in February.
This is the eighth Snap Fitness club to open in the last four months bringing the total number of sites in the UK and Ireland to 86.
“When we came out of Covid and were able to start opening clubs again we set our franchisees’ expectations on achieving an opening target of 300-400 members and reaching 1,200 members in the first year. However, the majority of our new openings have far exceeded ours and our franchisees’ expectations - reaching the 1,200 member milestone within five months, showing that the demand for gyms continues to grow,” said director of development, Bill Painter.
Since the launch of the first UK club in 2012, Snap Fitness has enjoyed a number of significant milestones. Snap Fitness Tooting, which opened in 2020, became the network’s best-performing club globally, whilst Snap Fitness Waterford was the fastest-growing club, reaching over 2,000 members within 12 months.
“Our model has been designed to offer franchisees maximum returns by providing support at every step of the way by analysing everything from the gym’s location to marketing support. If the past year proved anything, with our market-busting growth figures, it is that our system works,” said Painter.
