Retro Fitness

Featured on the hit CBS reality series "Undercover Boss", Retro Fitness is an investor-friendly franchise with strong-unit economics and streamlined business operations that is on track to grow to 700 locations by 2020. Combining an affordable membership price point of just $19.99 per month with a high quality gym experience and state of the art equipment normally associated with big-box clubs, Retro Fitness attracts new and experienced exercisers of all ages while ancillary offerings like the Retro Blends Smoothie Bar, personal training, child care, group fitness, pro shop and tanning create additional revenue centers that maximize bottom line returns for franchise owners.

Retro Fitness is well positioned for today’s economy and to dominate the low cost segment by offering a high quality and value add product in contrast to its competitive set.  Each facility has 60-75 pieces of cardio equipment with personal LCD TV screens, a Retro Movie Theater, three different types of circuit training equipment and free weights.  Combine that with the fact that every gym is designed to maximize the square footage so that owners are not paying for space and utilities that go unused and you have a one of a kind business opportunity.
