About Us

This is an unparalleled opportunity to join an award-winning, established, and rapidly growing international brand.

Naturally, fit20 is a socially distanced and hygienic concept which appeals to members of the public who do not want to attend a traditional gym multiple times a week but still want to improve their health and fitness. Our scientifically proven formula for fitness is seeing unprecedented growth as the UK lifts out of lockdown.

The fit20 Franchise Opportunity

All fit20 franchisees are enrolled in our fit20 Academy to make you an expert in the fit20 training method and running your business.

Most fit20 franchise owners focus their time on business development, networking and marketing, not doing long hours of tedious administrative tasks. Many fit20 owners hire training staff to cope with increased customer numbers.

What you get:

  • A proven and validated franchise programme
  • Government-led funding available for up to 75% of the fee
  • Dedicated franchise partner support
  • A highly profitable and scalable business model
  • Marketing programme and tools
  • An extensive training programme for you and your staff
  • A fully fitted fit20 gym (we call it a studio!)
  • Lead generation from our franchisee website
  • Branded workwear

Unique & Backed by Science

Training is always by appointment with a personal trainer and because our studios are air-conditioned to 18°C, you don’t sweat. You can literally train in your suit!

fit20’s slow-speed training has been scientifically proven to increase strength gains of between 30 – 50% with only one 20-minute training session a week. This is proven and measurable using our proprietary software and technology. Strength is the foundation for health, our members have reported lowered blood pressure, decreased blood sugar levels, improved flexibility and an increase in energy levels.

Comprehensive Training for Franchise Owners

Comprehensive training is provided which covers our business operations, systems and functions. Our fit20 Academy for Personal Trainers will equip you and your potential staff with all of the knowledge and skills you will need. You do not need previous experience in the fitness industry to succeed!

Excellent Business Support

You will receive excellent support setting up your studio, from finding the best location, designing your studio & fitting it out, to marketing for the launch of your business.

“The level of support fit20 offers its franchisees is phenomenal.” Attila Leb, fit20 franchisee in Chiswick, London

Outstanding Economics

Studio overheads are minimal with a fit20 studio footprint requiring only 70-80 sqm and personal trainers (should you choose to have them), paid per training session. Excellent member retention rates mean that your marketing budget generates business growth.

Is a fit20 franchise for you?

Are you passionate about helping people to live longer, healthier, and happier lives by improving their health and wellness? Perhaps you wish to start your own business or do something for yourself that is fulfilling and provides a healthy work-life balance with a six-figure earning potential.
