World’s fastest-growing franchisor of 24/7 express fitness centers continues aggressive growth;

Targets local marketplace as part of national expansion initiative

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – People are working more hours these days. Some are moonlighting to make ends meet. And, of course, the stress levels are soaring. With that scenario in place, Snap Fitness is “muscling” its way into New Hampshire starting with Hudson.

With approximately 2,200 locations sold worldwide, the world’s fastest growing franchisor of 24/7 express fitness centers, recently announced plans to add up to 10 locations in the local marketplace.

The area’s first club opened last month, December 2011, at 290 Derry Road.

“As more people see health and fitness as a necessity versus a luxury, they’re seeking convenient and affordable ways to look and feel better,” said Gary Findley, COO of Snap Fitness, noting that as millions of consumers continue to swap over-priced SUV’s for wallet-friendly compact cars, the same trend is taking shape in the $24 billion fitness industry. “Snap Fitness looks forward to continuing to offer local health enthusiasts with a no-frills workout option.”

While Snap Fitness offers the same quality equipment as traditional health clubs, the booming brand is setting industry standards by focusing on complete member wellness and providing a host of products and services designed to give members better results and more value for their money. By scaling down in size and eliminating unnecessary amenities such as swimming pools and racquetball courts, Snap Fitness offers customers a quality, affordable workout with strong emphasis on customer service and convenience.

With a modest footprint that typically ranges from 2,500 to 3,000 square feet, Snap Fitness clubs feature cardio and training equipment. A typical installation has five treadmills, five elliptical machines, two stationary bikes, some weight machines, some free weights and maybe a stepper or two.

“Our more than half a million satisfied members, combined with our triple-digit revenue growth, proves we’re honed in to what consumers want and expect from their fitness program,” Findley added. “People for the most part want to get in, get out and get on with their lives.”
