This flurry of openings will see Snap Fitness soar past the 100-gym landmark across the UK & Republic of Ireland, further growing its presence in the thriving fitness industry.
It will open locations across England, Wales and the Republic of Ireland this year, with sites scheduled to land in Truro, Southport, Tullamore, Aberystwyth, Wimbledon Raynes Park, King’s Lynn, Shepton Mallett and Longford. The openings are a combination of new franchisees joining the Snap Fitness network, as well as existing franchisees scaling their investment with the brand.

These add to the six new Snap Fitness locations launched so far in the UK & Ireland in 2024, which have opened with over 40% more members than its gyms in 2023.
“It’s been an unbelievable year so far for Snap Fitness across the UK & Ireland,” said Kevin Yates, CEO of Lift Brands EMEA. “Having become CEO at the end of last year, there’s an incredible energy in our clubs who are capitalising on the continued growth of the fitness industry;
“Our UK presale record has already been broken multiple times this year which is amazing to see. In a crowded marketplace, consumers continue to be drawn to Snap Fitness gyms which is testament to the hard work that goes into creating these spaces, as well as the great data and local insights we have when selecting future locations.
“We’re not shy of the fact that we’re incredibly ambitious and are continuing to evolve our product to stay ahead of the market and elevate Snap Fitness above the competition.”

The design of new Snap Fitness gyms reflects the broader wellness experience consumers now expect. All new openings have a dedicated recovery area, including massage guns and state-of-the-art compression boots. Franchisees also have the option to add further products such as infrared saunas to enhance the member experience.
