Snap Fitness reaches 100th UK club landmark
Leading fitness franchise opens 100th location on UK mainland in Wisbech.
Leading gym franchise Snap Fitness is celebrating a notable landmark after opening its 100th location in the UK.
Snap Fitness Wisbech officially opened its doors on Wednesday 20th August to bring up the milestone as the brand continues to expand its footprint at pace in the UK.
After opening its first UK site in Sittingbourne, Kent, in 2012, Snap Fitness has gone from strength-to-strength and has grown more than any other franchised gym operator by number of locations over the past three years.
Now with a total of 106 gyms across the UK & Ireland, Snap Fitness is set for a flurry of openings over the next six months. This growth is being fuelled by a significant number of existing franchisees scaling their investment, as well a record-breaking year for new franchisees joining the brand.
“This is a great landmark for Snap Fitness in the UK which we’re all really proud of,” said Kevin Yates, CEO of Snap Fitness EMEA. “So much hard work has gone into getting the brand to where it is today and we’re all really excited about the direction we’re heading in.
“We have a fantastic network of franchisees and we’re striving to continue providing them with a product that stands out in the market. Investing in our member experience is a key priority for us and with more technology being integrated into our offering, as well as the upcoming launch of Reformer Pilates, the future is bright for us.”
Snap Fitness Wisbech is owned by a franchisee group including Kapil Arora and Rizwan Hussain, who are opening their second location in two years following the success of their first in Northwich, Cheshire in 2024.
