Excellent Business Support
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!

“I get so much out of the support we receive from fit20. One of the great things about fit20 is The Academy which is the training process that we use to learn about the fit20 concept and way of training. There is continuous learning available so all studio owners and PTs have all the skills they need to optimise training for each customer and learn about any new advances in technology or science developed by the head office."
The level of support fit20 offers its franchisees is phenomenal. While preparing to launch and in these early stages of operation, the general premise has been: if I find I’m spending more than five minutes thinking about something, just call head office, and they will quickly steer me in the right direction. This is not only time-saving, but also very reassuring! Even if you need very specific information, tailored to just one of your studio members, you have the knowledge and experience of a whole team of trainers, therapists and physios to draw on.”
“It is the member’s stories and amazing results that convinced me to open my own studio. I love running a studio and having my own business while being able to rely on fit20 for the latest research on fitness and business/marketing support from head office. I enjoy sharing our successes with our community of franchise owners in our weekly calls.”
"When I heard about fit20, I realised this was a concept that would be really easy to scale. The typical fitness proposition is not very appealing for a lot of people, whereas fit20, I could see, could help so many people who don’t want to or can't commit to spending hours in the gym. I saw the opportunity to be part of a movement that’s changing how we look after ourselves and our health. I’ve got two successful studios and in the planning stages of opening a third."
