The Shredquarters franchise

Are you fanatical about health and business? We have developed an inclusive, lucrative business model that is low-cost to set up with the potential for multi-site growth.

The wellness industry is booming – we all know the population, young and old, need and want to do more exercise, but most struggle with the discipline of attending a ‘traditional’ self-service gym. But we don’t limit our market to the minority of motivated gym bunnies or body-sculpting heroes…

At The Shredquarters we create a community spirit, attracting and engaging a far wider mix of members with ever-evolving structured classes within several diverse themes. No two classes are the same! 

“We set out to be the best; to forge deeper more profitable and longer relationships with our members. We focus on running structured classes with a high trainer-member ratio, which keeps people engaged so they value their time at their local Shredquarters.”

Adam, Co-founder

INVESTMENT AND RETURNS

To setup your first gym you will need to able to invest circa £90K, depending on the premises. Up to 50% financing is available, subject to status.

Depending on your background, you may choose to start as one of the trainers initially, or employ trainers and focus on growing your new business. Whatever your skillset, we will guide you in preparing a detailed business plan to map your journey, the investment required and your expected returns. Finding your premises is the biggest variable in the setup cost/timescales, but don’t panic – we will help you with this as well.

There are multiple income streams from your members and a weekly subscription income means you need less working capital than a traditional model to grow your new gym.

“It’s how most people want to train. The structured classes provide guidance, motivation and some friendly competition! We create a community – Shred becomes part of people’s lives. Our approach has enabled us to attract, engage and of course retain members from the ages of 16 to 69 years old.”
