UK units: 100+ UK studios
EST: 2015
Hitsona is the UK’s largest independent group exercise franchise – a remarkable achievement for a British-born brand in a sector typically dominated by North American imports. Its studios deliver high-intensity interval training (HIIT) group fitness classes using a proprietary audio-visual programme, combining the energy of a large group class with the efficiency and accessibility of a smaller studio format. The compact studio model – typically 1,500 – 2,500 square feet – keeps build-out costs and rent overheads significantly lower than full gyms, while the appointment-based class format eliminates the queuing and overcrowding issues that frustrate members of traditional gyms. Recurring membership revenue, low churn among committed members, and strong community culture create a financially attractive and personally rewarding franchise. Investment from around £30,000 for a franchise licence plus fit-out costs make Hitsona accessible to fitness entrepreneurs who combine passion for the sector with the commercial acumen to build a sustainable studio business. An EF100 regular, Hitsona continues to expand its UK footprint with a compelling product-market fit.
