FRANCHISEE TESTIMONIAL

“I researched every single gym franchise opportunity but then I met the head office team and it felt like a family. I agree with the énergie model, the investment costs were good, some of the head office team played a big part in it as well.

We turned a profit from day one and hit our original five-year business plan within our first month. Our highest turnover in a single month has been just shy of £63K and I have now opened my third Energie Fitness site”. – Josh Waters, Multi-unit franchise owner of Energie Fitness Erith, Energie Fitness Eltham and Energie Fitness Tunbridge Wells.
