BE YOUR OWN BOSS

To become a franchise owner, we want you to strive to realise your true value to Hitsona, your members and the wider community.

Our comprehensive training programme and ongoing support across operational and commercial areas will enable the right people to realise their potential as a business owner of a Hitsona fitness studio.
Low cost, low risk opening
Our fitness studio franchise model is based around delivering life changing results for people who aren’t served by gyms or traditional fitness offerings. Many have failed at diet clubs and in gyms multiple times before finding their local Hitsona fitness studio.
Our unique, fresh and new approach to exercise and fitness and the mass market of undeserved, reluctant exercisers who we appeal to, means we face little competition from traditional gyms. This has allowed some of our studios to break even within 120 days and the majority within six months. Our well developed and easy to follow business systems and processes, in marketing, proprietary member acquisition and excellent training both in person and using our online platform ensures our business owners have the tools and ongoing support needed to run a successful business. Hitsona has a proven track record of delivering outstanding service to our business owners and this makes the Hitsona franchise model and opportunity truly unique.
Unique offering and equipment
Standing out from the gym crowd is difficult for many fitness franchises. Most gyms have the same equipment, market to the same customers and are competing for the same colleagues and staff members.
When you open a Hitsona fitness studio franchise you will unlock many USPs including our patented HIT Machines, which allow people of any fitness level or exercise experience to train together safely, effectively and without judgement.
These machines (which you won’t find it any gym) coupled with our branded heart rate system, coach led, small group 25 minute sessions, our solution is truly unique and appeals to the vast majority of the population.
Franchising options
Options to buy or rent HIT Machines
We recognise that opening a fitness franchise can pose financial hurdles, particularly when it comes to purchasing the necessary equipment. We believe that financial constraints should not hinder determined individuals from becoming valued Hitsona Studio owners. Hence, we offer a unique opportunity for eligible candidates to purchase or potentially rent our state-of-the-art HIT Machines, reducing the burden of upfront capital investment required during the startup phase.
Exploring Joint Venture Opportunities
We understand that a passion to make a difference is the key driver for aspiring Hitsona studio owners to own their own business. However, we also recognise that financial constraints can sometimes hinder the realisation of these ambitions. If you are passionate about making a difference and the right fit for our community, but lack all of the necessary capital to embark on owning a fitness franchise, we offer an exciting solution through our Joint Venture Startup Scheme.
Potential Multi-Site Owner
Many of our Hitsona Studio owners had the vision and ambition to make a difference on a larger scale. So at Hitsona we developed a franchise model that provides a very scalable business solution, allowing potential owners to determine their own success and leverage development costs across multiple Hitsona studio sites. If you are an entrepreneur who can see the bigger picture and you would like the option as a potential Hitsona franchisee to expand your ownership to multiple sites, we offer a specialised Multi-Site Accelerator Program designed to propel your growth and help you achieve your aspirations with velocity.
