Snap Fitness product offering
Snap Fitness offers premium 24/7 fitness clubs, with the main advantage of Snap Fitness being that they have the potential to add many different features and services in order to remain competitive against major ‘big box’ clubs and their traditional competitors.
Many of the clubs offer a full range of services including group-fitness classes, personal training and child minding. Every Snap Fitness club has state of the art free weights and cardiovascular equipment from Matrix, Techno Gym or Cybex.
Snap Fitness provides their members with high value at a lower cost. The company aims to add fun to fitness - with 6-week transformation challenges, Myzone challenges, and social events to attract a wide range of customers.
All clubs are fitted out with Myzone technology, which allows members to achieve greater results through an innovative heart-rate based system that allows members to monitor their heart rate, calories and effort, with a focus on rewarding effort rather than fitness. Snap Fitness has also recently launched Myzone Myfit 24/7 Functional workouts providing members the flexibility to complete a high-intensity express functional workout any time of the day.

Skills & training

The company runs an internal workshop called Snap Fitness University, which is a 4-day intensive program that is open to new franchisees and club managers plus there is ongoing face-to-face education training, webinars and an annual Snap Fitness Summit which provides Franchisees the opportunity to learn from and connect with other Franchisee’s and suppliers through a ‘ONE TEAM’ approach.
It is achievable for a club to hit 1000 members within the first 12 months of trade, making a Snap Fitness franchise an attractive prospect. After those initial 12 months, the focus is to retain the members with a great club culture, which is a key focus for the brand. This assists franchisees in achieving more growth in the second 12 months of business.
