Fitness Franchise Opportunities

1. According to the 2007 FIA State of the UK Fitness Industry Report, the UK's £3.6 billion fitness industry is at its 20-year peak, with 12% of the UK population signed up as members of a fitness club. Membership has grown 3% since 2006, and 230 new fitness facilities have been added to the industry. But there's lots of untapped potential there -- 88% of the population is available to become part of the fitness phenomenon! 2. By targeting the younger market and the female market, fitness franchises are capitalising on the two most important markets for the industry. And with an estimated 13 million obese people in the UK by 2010, the market is ripe for fitness franchises to take off. 3. As more and more people become aware with the dangers of obesity, including habits like unhealthy eating and lack of fitness practices, there is a pressing demand for fitness and health franchises that cater to peoples' needs to become healthier through exercise. 4. Since people in the UK work longer hours than most other Western European nations, as well as getting less holiday time, the phrase "cash rich, time poor" is coming to describe the nation. However, fitness and health franchises are catering to those needs by staying open 24 hours a day or offering short, 30 minute workouts to help the population increase activity levels to maintain good health. It's simple: people want quick, reliable, quality fitness and health facilities and services. You can provide that with a fitness franchise, because these franchise opportunities help you capitalise on this ever-growing demand!
