EnVie Fitness has unveiled its first franchise at Woonona, New South Wales with 545 foundation members signed up to the women-only gym.

There are more club openings scheduled, with EnVie Ocean Grove, Victoria, launching in October, and a third studio in Victoria to follow in early 2013. Discussions are underway for the first Queensland studio.

“EnVie has been met with a tremendously positive reaction”, said CEO Dave Hundt. “We broke a traditional mould to offer a new, unique business model that allows franchisees to achieve much higher levels of productivity and profitability. At the same time, we’re able to deliver more services, and more customisation to members. For franchisees and members we deliver what matters most – successful results!”

The model incorporates the exclusive services of a fitness concierge, progressive personalised programs, indoor and outdoor group training sessions, extended hours, nutritional guidance, child-minding, and flexible membership packages with no contracts or joining fees.    

“We further support franchisee success by providing extensive training and a highly-systemised operational system” said Hundt.  “With reduced staff requirements and minimal equipment set up, we’ve built a very exciting turn-key operation.”
