Alongside the fitness industry, this year’s 10 Topfranchise Award winners come from a wide array of industries including human resources, food, retail, personal services, renovations and mortgage brokers.

Winners include Frontline Recruitment Group, Soul Origin, Snap-on Tools Australia & New Zealand, Fernwood Fitness (above left), Mister Minit, Dream Doors Australia, Snooze, ANZ Mobile Lending, Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse and Plus Fitness (above right).

The highest placement for Fernwood Fitness in a category top 10 was for Passion where they came 2nd.

The highest placement for Plus Fitness in a category top 10 was for Lifestyle where they came 4th.

The 10 THOUSAND FEET Strategic Market Research team surveyed thousands of franchisees across Australia to determine the award winners.
