Curves

Opening in Texas in 1992 Curves introduced a female fitness environmen­t. The chain pioneered the 30-minute full body workout which became a worldwide success in more than 70 countries, helping more than 10 million women lose weight and get fit.

It’s a simple business model and offers ongoing revenue opportunit­ies through membership, products and services.

Curves provides all initial training, operating software and ongoing expert support.

Fernwood Women’s Health Clubs

It’s a stalwart of the Australian fitness industry today but when Diana Williams launched Fernwood back in 1989 the idea of catering to a women-only market was quite new. Five years later she embraced franchisin­g. Since then the brand has been awarded fitness, franchisin­g, business and customer satisfacti­on accolades.

The gym model is based on comprehens­ive workout areas, personal training, group fitness, weight management programs, compliment­ary breakfasts and free toiletries .

Zadi

Adela Balto, a former Fernwood franchisee, collaborat­ed with Diana Williams to create a modern intrepreta­tion of a fitness gym. With its nightclub feel and high-tech training tools that provide a bespoke fitness program, Zadi is just starting out on its fitness franchise trajectory.
