Plus Fitness has advised that it has been recognised as a high performing brand through the Australian Franchise Rating Scale™ from FRANdata Australia - the country’s leading franchise business intelligence and information advisory business.

With FRANdata’s ratings allocated after an independent and fact-based assessment across seven key categories, in achieving this very strong (5 star) rating, Plus Fitness was able to demonstrate a high level of transparency and a very high level of franchise performance.

Commenting on the achievement, FRANdata’s Australian Chief Executive, Darryn McAuliffe, stated “a strong feature of the Plus Fitness franchise System is its success in positioning of franchisees for success from day one. A disciplined recruitment process and a highly effective initial and ongoing business planning program are both evident.

“Plus Fitness is also likely to receive heightened interest from major lenders given the high scores it has achieved in the independent Franchise Underwriting Report prepared for lenders”.

Plus Fitness Director, Gordon Martin noted “we are very proud of our 5 star FRANdata rating, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication our Support Team continuously provide to our franchise network.

“We are always adapting and growing our service, tools and training to ensure our franchisees can run their businesses successfully. This rating not only shows our current network how dedicated we are to their success, but it builds confidence and peace of mind for future Plus Fitness franchisees.”

Rating assessment outcomes from the Australian Franchise Rating Scale™ are being delivered now to participating franchise systems and recorded in The Australian Franchise Registry™.
