Franchise Reviews and SUCCESS STORIES

How Our Franchise Has Transformed Lives

Rowan & Ruby

Opened With 109 Members

Rowan, a former Royal Marine Commando, and his partner Ruby launched their gym with the discipline, resilience, and teamwork that define their story. Despite welcoming a newborn right in the middle of their launch, they opened their doors with unstoppable momentum - signing 109 members on day one.

Their journey shows what’s possible when a strong work ethic meets a proven system: fast growth, a thriving community, and a business built to support their family’s future.

Kieran

From PT to Successful Gym Owner

Kieran finally achieved his dream of owning his own gym - and launched with incredible momentum. With 80 members on day one and over £30,000 in pre-sell sales, he transformed his passion into a thriving business before the doors even opened.

With the right support behind him, Kieran made the leap from self-employed PT to confident business owner, building a gym that now gives him growth, stability, and a future he controls. 

Sean

Opened With 228 Active Members

Sean has grown his gym into a powerhouse with 228+ active clients and consistently £500k+ in annual revenue. His business gives him the freedom to live life his way - whether that’s travelling the world, mountain biking, or throwing himself into anything dangerous just for the thrill of it.

He’s proof that when you follow the right system, you don’t just build a profitable gym…

You build a lifestyle worth chasing..

Kieran Kelly

Despite never having had a business before, Kieran had the confidence to succeed thanks to the support, mentoring, systems, processes and guidance from us as franchise operators, but also from his fellow franchise owners.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Opening a Transform Hub franchise requires an initial investment from approximately £86,000. We have intentionally built a model that keeps setup costs lower than many traditional gym franchises by using low-equipment workouts, streamlined systems, and efficient staffing structures. Your investment gives you access to our proven franchise model, full onboarding support, marketing systems, integrated software, and ongoing mentoring. We are completely transparent throughout the discovery process so you understand the numbers, the opportunity, and the long-term potential before making your decision.

  • We do not leave you to figure things out alone. Once approved, you enter our fully supported launch programme covering site selection, recruitment, training, marketing preparation, and operational systems. Before you open, our marketing team builds momentum in your area and works to generate qualified leads so you are not starting from zero. Our model is designed to help you open strongly, with a target of 60+ paying clients on launch, subject to terms and conditions. From day one, you are supported by experienced mentors who guide you through every stage.

  • Our model is designed around recurring membership income, controlled staffing costs, and simple operational systems. As membership grows, margins improve. Across the network, established locations have demonstrated EBITDA margin snapshots of 24% at 109 members, 32% at 132 members, and 41% at 201 members, based on a single established trading month before finance costs, owner drawings, depreciation, and tax. These figures are illustrative, not guarantees, but they demonstrate how powerful the model can become as you scale. We discuss financial projections openly during the discovery process so you can evaluate the opportunity confidently.

  • Support is at the heart of our franchise model. You receive dedicated 1-to-1 business mentoring, group coaching, live events, and daily access to experienced leaders within the network. Our central team manages digital advertising to generate qualified leads consistently, and we provide bespoke social media content to build your local brand. You also benefit from fully integrated gym management software at a reduced cost. With over 40 signed locations and a recent £1 million investment from Andy Bell and Fergus Lyons of AJ Bell, we are building long-term strength into the network.

  • Break-even timelines depend on your location, cost management, and how quickly you grow your membership base. Because our model focuses on strong pre-launch marketing, recurring income, and structured onboarding, many franchisees build early momentum. However, as with any business, there are no guaranteed timelines. During the discovery process, we share financial projections based on real network performance so you can understand what is achievable with the right effort and leadership.

  • No. While some of our franchisees come from a fitness background, many do not. What matters most is leadership, commitment, and alignment with our values of radical accountability and high energy. If you are an owner-operator, we train you. If you are an investor, you can appoint qualified coaches to run sessions while you focus on growing the business. Our systems, mentoring, and marketing support are designed to give you confidence regardless of your background.

  • We currently have 40+ signed Transform Hub franchise locations across the UK, and we are expanding toward our goal of 100 locations by 2028. This rapid growth reflects strong demand for our results-driven model and the confidence franchisees have in the system. Joining a growing network means you benefit from shared experience, national brand recognition, and collective marketing power from day one.

  • We are actively expanding across the UK, but we protect our franchisees by carefully allocating territories. Availability depends on current coverage and local demand. During your discovery process, we will review demographic data and growth potential to identify suitable areas. Because we are growing steadily, early conversations are encouraged if you want to secure a preferred territory.
