Expanding gym chain Stepz Fitness has introduced a new franchise model - launched at its new Norwest franchise in suburban Sydney.

Under the new model, the initial cost of a Stepz Fitness 24/7 gym is approximately $270,000, while the new Stepz Interactive functional training studio starts with an initial investment of $80,000 – subject to site location.

Franchisees are provided marketing, operational, and sales support from the network, as well as franchisor assistance when finding a site.

The group stated “ideal franchisees show a willingness to grow in their passion for fitness, business, and/or working with people.”

Established in south east Queensland, Stepz has its sights on opening up 20 franchises in NSW, with big growth plans for its new interactive functional training model.

Stepz Interactive is a functional training facility designed for group fitness classes as a standalone from the 24/7 model or combined as a hybrid.

Stepz NSW Master Franchisee Sam Waller says there are plans to open “20 more Stepz Fitness franchises” in NSW, advising “we have identified customers are looking for a higher service model in group training so we have meet these demands with introducing a new model.

“These facilities give our members an unprecedented service by having the best group-classes on offer whilst still having the option of 24/7 gym access.”
