Canadian fitness franchise market
The Canadian fitness market includes big-box gyms like GoodLife and Anytime Fitness, boutique studios like Orangetheory and F45, and yoga and pilates brands. Build-out costs run $150,000 to $800,000.
Buying a fitness franchise
Brand fit, demographics, parking, and ceiling height all matter. We pull plaza units and standalone buildings that meet brand criteria. Conversions of existing gyms can save build-out time and cost.
Selling a fitness franchise
Buyers look at member count, monthly recurring revenue, churn, and lease term. Strong studios in growing neighbourhoods sell quickly. Sale timelines run 3 to 9 months.
Common mistakes fitness franchise buyers make
- Picking a site without enough parking for peak class hours
- Underestimating HVAC and electrical upgrades for heavy equipment
- Signing a lease without rent abatement during build-out
