FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES
WHY FRANCHISE?
If you've always dreamed of starting a business but are overwhelmed or intimidated by the thought of what that might entail, we’ve got good news for you — partnering with a franchisor can take a lot of the guess work out of going into business. When you become a Blink Fitness Franchisee, you’ll enjoy a time-tested business model, unwavering franchisor training and support, and a powerhouse brand name — just a few of the advantages that come with a Blink Fitness gym. You get all the benefits of working for yourself, without the headaches of working by yourself! Being part of the Blink brand family means never going it alone.
WHY FITNESS?
More and more Americans are becoming interested and invested in their overall wellness and as a result, the fitness industry has seen consistent year-over-year growth, showing no signs of slowing down. Franchising a fitness concept is very advantageous for many reasons — but most notably, that the entire sector is healthy and growing. The amount of money that Americans spend on gym memberships continue to rise; however, we still see that a significant percentage of our population does not belong to a traditional gym. This leaves a ton of opportunity on the table for new facilities to enter communities and attract new members. In particular, the High-Value, Low-Price (HVLP) sector, in which Blink sits, is very attractive. Many traditional fitness consumers are opting for inexpensive memberships and in tough economic times, we will see this trend accelerate.
WHY BLINK?
The fitness industry is evolving and the big-box gym just hasn’t kept up. Born out of one of the leading luxury fitness concepts, Blink Fitness was created to challenge what value and quality look like in the fitness industry. Integrating technology and providing a best of the basics model has positioned Blink at the leading edge of the High-Value, Low-Cost fitness segment. Our approach to doing business is unique and hard to compete with, making a Blink investment a highly attractive one.
WHAT'S IN A BLINK
- Blink gyms range from 12,000 to 18,000 sq. ft
- Equipment layout maximizes available space based on member usage patterns
- $15 and $22 monthly membership fees provide strong recurring revenue
- Personal training, retail, and food and beverage revenues drive ancillary profits
OUR EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP
The fact is, not all franchise experiences are created equal. Some are simply better than others. Our leadership team is one of the best in the industry, made up of seasoned veterans who have extensive backgrounds in retail, hospitality, and services that they bring to the Blink table. Our leaders constantly think outside the box to challenge what a premium gym experience looks like.
