Snap opens new clubs and invests in existing sites

Franchised fitness operator, Snap Fitness, has reported a strong first half of 2025, with significant expansion and investment across its core markets.

In the first half of 2025, Snap Fitness opened 21 new clubs in strategic growth locations – in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and Latin America – and completed 44 major club upgrades.

The 44 club upgrades completed in the first half of the year span across five countries and form part of Snap Fitness’ global brand refresh, launched to help franchisees “boost local competitiveness, modernise member experience and increase operational efficiency”.

Snap Fitness now has more than 100 gyms in the UK and a presence in 57 territories worldwide. New markets in which it has recently entered include the United Arab Emirates and Philippines. Snap Fitness is owned by Lift Brands, which also owns fitness tech platform Fitness On Demand and is a minority partner in functional group training specialist, Fitstop.

Ty Menzies, Global CEO of Lift Brands, said: “These results reflect the continued strength of the Snap Fitness brand and our global strategy to modernise, grow, and support high-performing clubs in key locations and territories. From new franchisees joining our network to existing owners reinvesting and expanding their own franchise portfolio with us, the first half of 2025 has proven that Snap Fitness’ blend of member-first design and franchise-first support is resonating on a global scale.

“Our global repositioning is a strategic move to future-proof our offering”
