The health and fitness market – the key statistics you need to know
The health and fitness sector has experienced positive growth over the past 10 years. All of the key industry reports and statistics show that it is the affordable, low-cost sector of the market that is responsible for driving this growth.
énergie is the only fitness franchisor to operate in the low-cost / budget sector of the market with one of the most accessible and affordable membership offers available.
This enables our franchisees to attract the widest possible range of members, from savvy gym users to first-timers and everyone in-between.
A franchise at the forefront of the industry
Adding value to the membership offer whilst improving our franchisees operating model is a key focus for énergie.
Recognising how the pandemic has changed the game for the fitness industry. We have developed a multi-channel membership model. This combines our traditional in-gym experience with ” énergie online”, featuring live and on-demand exercise sessions.
In late 2020, Health Club Management Magazine produced its top 20 fitness trends for 2020, ranking the hybrid gym model (combining a traditional in-gym experience with online) as the number 1 trend for the future of the industry.

Testimonials
-
Joanna Gunter (Fit4less Hoddesdon)
I’d strongly recommend Fit4less by énergie. It’s such a strong brand and there’s a great support system in place to get you set up into business, plus the continued operational support once you’re open.
-
Carl Godley (Fit4less Scunthorpe)
I am so excited by how well things are going – the support from énergie has been great from day one and the gym has gone from strength to strength since opening.
-
Jeremy Rose (pictured) & Torban Cane (Fit4less Kilburn)
You are given every tool possible to make your business work, and, this is where we believe énergie are different - they guide you through step-by-step. Ultimately, we are responsible for the success of our club but without énergie’s knowledge, experience and personal support it would not be possible. Our Kilburn club is outstripping all of its targets and we’re now in a position to expand further and the international market provides some interesting advantages.
-
Ian Rajan (Fit4less Highbury)
Despite a fairly challenging business plan, the site has exceeded the membership and income expectation with break even and beyond, all achieved within just a few short months of opening the doors. I am delighted with its performance and plan to open further sites.
-
Umesh Jivraj (Fit4less Wellingborough)
After selling my previous business, I was looking for an opportunity to invest my money and looked at a number of businesses. The fitness industry caught my eye and I had a look at a number of options, but I felt that the Fit4less model would work best for me. Their support was what I was looking for, given that I was venturing into a whole new industry sector. Therefore, I chose Fit4less as my franchisor. Their support throughout the build-up to the opening and the day of the launch was brilliant. An impressive number of people attended the launch and signed up on the day. I couldn’t have been happier.
-
Josh Waters, énergie Fitness Erith
I researched every single gym franchise opportunity but then I met the head office team and it felt like a family. I agree with the énergie model, the investment costs were good, some of the head office team played a big part in it as well. We turned a profit from day one and hit our original five-year business plan within our first month. Our highest turnover in a single month has been just shy of 63K and I’m now actively looking for my second site.
-
Henry Doughty, énergie Fitness Sheldon
énergie Fitness has absolutely the right business model and brand for the fitness sector. Our fantastic performance during presales means we have been profitable since the day we opened.
-
Peter and Jo Gunter, énergie Fitness Palmers Green & Hoddesdon
The clubs’ performances have been a great success. In our first full year of trading at Hoddesdon we posted a £178k profit which was a massive success for us. In essence, Hoddesdon funded our second site and we’ll be very happy if Palmers Green performs just as well.
