In just five short years, Snap Fitness, the world’s fastest growing franchisor of compact, state-of-the-art fitness centers, has expanded its business model through the United States, Canada, India and Australia. Now they’re preparing to add Mexico to the list.
To aid in this expansion, the company recently formed a partnership with Grupo ACIR, a business development group and leading radio broadcaster in Mexico, whose programming reaches more than 63 cities and upwards of 10 million people each day.
“With our ability to keep a pulse on what the consumers in Mexico are looking for, Grupo ACIR saw a huge opportunity to bring Snap Fitness and its industry-leading 24/7 fitness options to the Mexican population,” said Carlos Ibarra, Manager Snap Fitness Mexico. “Mexico’s consumers are putting an increasing emphasis on health and fitness, and we wanted to offer these burgeoning health enthusiasts state-of-the-art fitness equipment, affordability and convenience. In essence, Snap Fitness.”
The first Snap Fitness location in Mexico opened in Metepec June 2009, with a second center slated to open in August 2009 in Queretaro. The company has its eye on continued growth for the remainder of 2009 and beyond, and is currently seeking qualified candidates that are interested in owning their own Snap Fitness franchise in Mexico.
“Snap Fitness is well on its way to becoming a global leader and expansion into Mexico was a top priority for our franchise,” said Snap Fitness Founder and CEO Peter Taunton. “Snap Fitness has flourished by partnering with our North American neighbors, and we are honored to bring our affordable fitness and member-friendly policies to Mexican consumers.”
As Taunton mentioned, an emphasis on member-friendly policies and value-added services has promoted Snap Fitness over its competitors. Snap Fitness offers month-to-month memberships as opposed to long-term contracts, and allows memberships to be frozen for up to three months a year with no penalty. In addition, the company provides members with a host of products and services, such as an Online Health Assessment and customized supplement suggestions, designed to give members better results and more value for their money.
Launched in 2003, Snap Fitness has approximately 1,000 locations in operation worldwide and projects to have more than 2,000 locations under development by the end of 2009. Consistently opening 300 – 400 new clubs each year, Snap Fitness operates in the United States, Canada, Mexico and India, and has locations under development in Australia and New Zealand.
