Jetts Fitness express gym franchise group to expand to New Zealand

Australian 24/7 express gym franchise, Jetts Fitness , has announced its expansion into New Zealand with the first club opening in Royal Oak, Auckland.
 
Jetts Fitness expects to open 25 fitness clubs in the next 18 months, through a combination of direct entry and franchising with both New Zealand and Australian partners.

“Our first step into international markets has been carefully planned to ensure the high quality execution is delivered with the same methods that has defined our Australian success," says Brendon Levenson, Managing Director of Jetts Fitness.

This gym franchise group has had significant success since it's inception, opening 61 clubs and attracting over 50,000 Australian members. Jetts Fitness anticipates New Zealand consumers will to take to the brand in much the same way Australians have, embracing the no frills, low cost offer.

Claire Attard, General Manager of Operations at Jetts Fitness, has lead the New Zealand entry program for 12 months, and is confident the gym franchise model will be accepted in the same manner as in the Australian market.

“Gym members in New Zealand have expressed their desire for a low cost, no contract offer in much the same way Australians have, and given the fragmentation of the NZ market we believe the strength of our model will be welcomed with open arms, delivering a sustainable fitness product that is in line with the expectations and needs of today’s customers,” says Attard.
 
Outside of the inaugural club in Royal Oak, new clubs are also under build in Eden Terrace, New Lynn and Glenfield, and negotiations for further sites underway in Christchurch and Wellington.

Jetts Fitness gym franchises in New Zealand will offer the same defining benefits as the Australian clubs, including no contracts as standard, 24/7 access to state of the art facilities, and automatic reciprocal rights to every club. All New Zealand members will also receive automatic reciprocal rights to all clubs in Australia.
