DISCOVER AN AFFORDABLE, CONVENIENT, AND FAST WAY TO OWN YOUR OWN GYM
fit+ is a passive-income generating gym business, that is incredibly easy to manage, operate and scale.
Our staffless gyms are operated entirely digitally. This innovative approach keeps the gyms operating costs to a minimum and provides an amazing level of freedom and flexibility for you, the business owner.
fit+ gyms meet the increasing demand for convenience from consumers by opening in smaller towns and suburban locations, making gyms more accessible than ever.
fit+ was included in the Top 20 Fitness Trends in the 2024-2025 Health Club Management Handbook.
Founded in Germany by Björn Krämer and Torsten Boorberg, in just 6 years, fit+ has grown to over 250 gyms in over 10 countries, taking the European market by storm and proving the success of the model. This rapid expansion has helped many individuals to own their own gym, and in many cases build a cluster of gyms close to where they live.
Now, you have the opportunity to open your own fit+ gym in the UK and Ireland and bring an accessible fitness solution to a market where convenience is fast becoming the priority.
Consumer interest in health, fitness and wellbeing is at an all-time high. With convenience being reported as one of the driving factors when people are considering which gym to join.
What better way to meet the demand for convenience by placing a fit+ gym right on the doorstep of the people who need it.
fit+ gyms appeal to experienced exercisers who are looking for a well-equipped fitness club in the immediate vicinity of where they live. Members benefit from flexible open times including 24-hour access where possible.
Our gyms have a range of strength, resistance, and free weights equipment, providing everything that people need for a complete training programme and nothing more.
The modern equipment in fit+ gyms means that members can follow their own training plans. If needed, members can scan QR codes on each piece of equipment to see how they work.
Fit+ is being rolled out across the UK and Ireland by the team at Empowered Brands, a specialist fitness franchise operator.
