Fit20 Franchise

An opportunity to earn a six figure income while working flexibly and helping others to improve their health and well-being

fit20 is transforming the gym industry with a recession proof business model. Studios have excellent economics, units are small so rents are low, operating costs are low, energy costs are minimal (there are no changing rooms or showers to heat or maintain). We provide highly effective training with a minimal demand on time and so our membership numbers are continuing to grow, already up by over 25% in the past year and up over 100% on our pre-lockdown high (while traditional gyms are still struggling to catch up).

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

You will receive excellent support setting up your studio, from finding the best location, studio design & fitting out, to marketing for launch. Ongoing business and marketing support is provided along with enjoyable weekly meetings with the fit20 UK Head Office team.

fit20 training is unique and effective

Most people believe that fitness training takes at least a few hours every week with several sessions per week, but science is starting to tell a different story. The largest ever study in sports science suggests that fit20 training, once a week for 20 minutes with a personal trainer, is optimal.

Our training method is based on the latest scientific findings about effective and efficient training to improve fitness and health. You book your 20 minute weekly session ahead of time to stay on track. Because you have an appointment, you don’t have to wait. There is no need to change or shower because we train at a slow and precise pace in a custom cooled studio. Most members show measurable results within a few sessions, and more importantly, they feel stronger and fitter.

Our studio members love us

Our customers do love us, and this is reflected in our industry leading customer retention rates!
