Embrace the Future of Fitness: Join the CHANGE Movement in New Zealand Today!

The opportunity to be part of the future of fitness and wellness is here with the brand CHANGE arriving on New Zealand’s shores. Led by Jamie Smith of LINK Business Brokers Bay of Plenty, the opportunity to become a part of this transformative journey is knocking at your door as CHANGE sets its sights on global franchising.

In a bold move to redefine the fitness landscape, CHANGE is set to escalate its presence with the ambitious goal of unveiling 20 studios by the end of 2024, furthering its mission across Queensland and branching into major cities in New Zealand and Australia. This expansion underscores a deep-seated commitment to fostering wellness communities, underpinned by strategic franchise agreements that align with CHANGE’s core values and innovative approach. Co-founders Pete Haselhurst and Emma Pearson are at the forefront of this growth, ensuring that each new studio encapsulates the brand’s unique blend of top-quality workouts and state-ofthe-art facilities to offer members a distinctive and transformative workout experience. This strategic expansion not only aims to make CHANGE’s unparalleled fitness and wellness ethos more accessible but also reinforces its commitment to nurturing growth, transformation, and community within every studio’s walls. “We truly care about people,” says co-founder Pete Haselhurst, “not just today but every day; it’s in our DNA.”

Jamie emphasised, “If you’re a fitness lover and have entrepreneurial qualities, the chance to partake in something truly extraordinary awaits.” At the heart of CHANGE’s global success lies in its team of passionate, knowledgeable experts and cutting-edge technology. The CHANGE team have established one of the most successful fitness studios in the world during a time when functional training was a mere concept.

Joining CHANGE means more than just becoming a franchisee — it means becoming a partner in the journey to transform and build healthier lifestyle for CHANGE members. No prior business or fitness experience necessary as you’ll be welcomed into the community with an eight-week franchisee training. “CHANGE’s comprehensive training programs, and continuous marketing support equips franchisees with everything needed to thrive as part of the team.” Jamie highlighted.

Currently, CHANGE operate six studios across Queensland, with plans to establish a presence in each major New Zealand and Australian city.

Since the brand’s creation in 2021, CHANGE has cultivated a devoted and diverse customer base that are not only attracted to its distinctive values, but also its unparalleled blend of top-quality workouts and state-of-the-art facilities. Co-founders Haselhurst and Emma Pearson ensure that every aspect of CHANGE studios is meticulously designed with purpose and intention. Members are provided with unique and distinctive workout experiences through gamification technology and exclusively designed equipment. From the moment a member steps through the door until the last seconds of their workout, they are enveloped in an environment that encourages growth and transformation.

CHANGE’s welcoming environment inspires every member to embrace their personal fitness journey. Haselhurst affirms, “our studio welcomes bodies of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds.” Through a dynamic fusion of all three verticals — functional training, yoga, and reformer Pilates. A lethal combination where members are empowered to unleash their full potential, both physically and mentally.

But CHANGE is more than just a gym — it seamlessly blends physical training with mental well-being and lifestyle integration, “no longer do you require multiple memberships to obtain your health and wellness goals,” says Haselhurst. Recognising that true health encompasses far more than just physical fitness, CHANGE understands a healthy person needs access to not only functional fitness but an adapted lifestyle and supportive community.

“CHANGE is committed to improving the lives of its members through their combination of physical training, mental wellness practices, and lifestyle elements,” Jamie said, showcasing the franchise’s dedication to its members. The first step in creating a better, healthier future is CHANGE.

Listings for studios around New Zealand begin at $295,000, with two levels of studios for you to choose the size that best suits your budget! “No matter where you’re located the opportunity to be a part of the CHANGE community is within reach. Don’t miss out, contact me today!” Jamie said.
