Franchise Wire:

Featuring more muscle power than ever before, Snap Fitness has found a new workout partner that is getting the chain ‘in-shape’ for unprecedented international growth. The fast, convenient, affordable 24/7 fitness chain with locations across North America and Canada, today announced a new partnership with the Findley Group, the Waco, Texas-based, leading franchise development company led by Gary Findley, former President of Curves International, who was responsible for taking the chain from just a handful to several thousand units worldwide.

‘Fitness was a large part of my life, even before I was the president of Curves, so it is exciting to be able to add the first fitness franchise into the Findley Group mix since we launched in 2005,’ said Findley, whose Findley Group currently represents a wide-array of franchise concepts. ‘Snap Fitness is already the leader in the ‘express’ fitness center niche domestically due to their affordable investment price and remarkably low overhead; and, through this partnership, we will be able to bring the opportunity to new international locations.’

Peter Taunton, founder and CEO of Snap Fitness has brought on Findley’s franchise development group as the fitness chain’s exclusive international franchise development team. The pair of fitness and franchising industries’ icons has joined forces to plan for the mature concepts’ strategic global expansion. Additionally, the Findley Group will also assist in developing franchises in the United States, drawing on their proven expertise in the domestic market. Read more.
