Snap Fitness ranks in Top 50 of Entrepreneur’s 2012 Franchise 500

Snap Fitness has made the ranks with #36 in Entrepreneur’s 2012 Franchise 500. This makes it the 24 hour fitness franchises’ sixth consecutive year in Franchise 500’s top 50 franchises.

Entrepreneur is an American-based business magazine focused in discussions on topics within money, marketing, technology and franchises. Franchise 500 is an annual list that highlights the most popular industries and the trends making an impact on their future.

The ranking for all 500 companies are judged according to an exclusive formula that takes into account of the franchise’s financial strength, stability, growth rate, the size of the system, and as well as their objective and other measurable factors.

Peter Taunton, Snap Fitness Founder and CEO, believes the gym franchises’ continued success is due to several growing fitness trends, such as more affordable and convenient gym options and individuals becoming more aware of their own health and physique.

Snap Fitness offers an alternative to the traditional “big box” gyms with their compact 24/7 fitness clubs. Franchisees are given the opportunity to be their own boss, as well as ongoing assistance and support, which extends to its US parent company.

All Snap Fitness franchisees are provided with:

• Full training through an intensive four day Snap University course that is free to all franchisees and managers
• Sales and marketing support including a national marketing and public relations campaign
• IT and administration/management systems
• Equipment supply and maintenance
• Club fit out and signage
• Ongoing support and training from Snap Fitness’ corporate team
