Fit4less is opening up the
greatest business opportunity in fitness for years. Providing a
‘No Frills’ fitness membership from just £16.99
per month, at a time when consumers are demanding great value for
money...
Fit4less offers a strong consumer proposition that clearly
identifies our market position as the "No Frills" alternative to
more expensive full service health clubs.
The
right time for
Fit4less?
First con
sumers embraced the 'no frills'
airlines, offering online booking and big savings, and then 'no
frills' supermarkets began to
outperformthe more established brands on our
High Streets.
Consumers
understand the 'no frills' approach
popularised by Hotels, Airlines and Supermarkets. Fit4less offers
you the opportunity to rapidly establish a dominant local position
in the emerging 'no frills' segment of the UK fitness club sector,
allowing you to turn the current economic climate to your advantage
by offering local consumers an unbeatable opportunity to "get fit
for less". Fit4less is a great consumer proposition and a great
business opportunity for potential investors...
The gap in the
market...
The health and fitness sector has developed exponentially over the
past fifteen years in the UK and it is widely recognised that
demand will outstrip supply for some years to come. With around
11.9% (and growing) of the UK population currently using a fitness
facility (7.3% currently use a private members fitness facility),
it is generally accepted that this penetration will surpass the
approximate 20% level currently seen in the USA.
The UK fitness sector has seen a very clear bias towards developing
the premium end of the market; many leading groups have arguably
lost their early 'affordable fitness' approach in the pursuit of
achieving an ever higher yield per member. This behaviour has
further highlighted the potential of a true low cost alternative in
the UK.
The
solution...
Fit4less a
ppeals to customers who recognise
the quality and equipment required in a
modern gym, but our members don't pay
for the vast array of rarely used facilities and services
offered by other health clubs. Whilst Fit4less is a new
'no frills' concept in the fitness sector, it is built upon
the strong foundations of the energie
fitness club model and supported by the energie group,
which now operates over 80 clubs.
The clubs themselves are sized from
4000sq.ft upwards, they operate on what by normal
industry standards would be a skeleton staff,
members join online at www.F4L.com whether in our club
using our joining
zone,
or at home or work, saving
administration time and resources. Club access is via our biometric
(finger print) readers which control club access; this both
improves security and saves on membership card production
costs.
The real joy of the Fit4less brand
is the simplicity and consumer friendly nature of the
offering,
making it a rewarding choice as a franchise business.
The Fit4less key brand
drivers...

drivers:
- Proven targeted marketing
campaigns highlight our 'Low cost' benefits
- Online joining and smart use of technology
reduce administration
- Reduced infrastructure costs through
multi-skilled workforce
- Tight operational cost
controls
- A simple business model with minimal
competition
Who will
join a Fit4less club?
- Consumers who appreciate
quality, but still demand great value for money.
- Consumers who due to cost, have terminated
their memberships elsewhere.
- Consumers who only use their clubs once a
week and can't justify the costs of competitors.
- Fit4less is about offering existing
fitness club members choice, why pay £50+ per month for a club

gym?
