    Fitness & Gym Franchise Real Estate

    Fitness franchises need the right square footage, ceiling height, and parking. Lease terms decide a lot — fitness landlords are picky. Summit REALTORS work on gym, studio, and boutique fitness deals.

    What Summit does — and doesn’t

    Summit is a real estate brokerage specialising in franchise locations across Canada. We help you secure, hold, and exit the real estate underneath your franchise. We are not a franchise consultant or recruiter.

    We handle

    • Site search and site approval coordination for your franchise locations
    • Commercial lease review, negotiation, and renewal
    • Resale brokerage when it’s time to sell — confidential marketing, buyer prequalification, lease assignment
    • Coordination with the landlord, lender, lawyer, and franchisor real estate team

    We don’t handle

    • Franchise applications, brand approval, or franchisor selection criteria
    • Training, supply chain, operations, or marketing programs — those stay with the franchisor
    • Picking a brand for you — that’s a business decision we’ll respect, not influence

    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

    Coldwell Banker Summit Realty — Franchise Real Estate Practice

    Coldwell Banker franchise · Licensed in Ontario

    Coldwell Banker Summit Realty, Brokerage runs a dedicated franchise real estate practice serving operators across Canada. We handle the operator-side real estate work on franchise deals — securing sites at the start, reviewing and negotiating commercial leases, and brokering the exit when it is time to sell. Backed by the Coldwell Banker brand, an independently owned and operated franchise with deep commercial and residential reach, our team reads a lease the way the operator does, scopes a site the way the franchisor does, and structures the exit the way the buyer will underwrite it.

    • Operator-side franchise real estate across food, retail, hospitality, fitness, and service categories
    • Site selection, lease review, and lease negotiation aligned to franchisor criteria
    • Resale brokerage, location takeovers, new-build site work, and sale-leaseback structuring
    • Backed by Coldwell Banker — an established global real estate brand and franchise network

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Quick, honest answers to what franchise buyers and sellers ask us most.

    Boutique studios like F45 and Orangetheory cost $300,000 to $700,000 all-in. Big-box gyms like Anytime Fitness run $400,000 to $800,000. Independent yoga and pilates studios can be lower.

    Residential density within a 10-minute drive, good parking, visibility from the road, and the right demographic for the brand. Boutique studios want walkable urban areas. Big-box gyms work better in suburban plazas.

    Three to nine months. Buyers look at monthly recurring revenue, member churn, lease term, and equipment age. Strong studios with growing members move faster.
