The Company:

The Company is privately held with minimal debts and few bad debtors. Customer satisfaction and good will are high.

Administration can be located anywhere as the concept only requires hiring of gym space when courses are run, therefore minimising outgoings. Many courses are sold as distance learning and therefore profit margins are higher, because no physical space is required.

The Company for sale will be a good bolt-on business to boost the bottom line or expand the product offerings of an existing training provider. Or a group/individual with knowledge of training and/or the sector wanting a stable platform from which to start and grow a business

Growth:

Potential in this market has yet to be fully exploited and deserves attention from a savvy buyer.

The brand can be transposed for use in many markets including education, training, wellbeing, exercise equipment, nutrition, magazines, blogs and more.

Take advantage of this great opportunity to buy a profitable company to add to your portfolio, integrate into an existing business, or use as a vehicle for expansion. Contact us today.

Location:

Can be run from home or an office in any UK location.

Business Operation

Expansion potential:

Expansion into the EU and growing economies such as India and China are possible particularly as eREPS (European version of REPS) and worldwide standardisation bodies are developing to encompass the global need for quality control in the health and fitness sector.
We have corporate clients that should be tapped into to provide the company with large corporate training contracts. For example, we are a test centre for a few GLL centres, this could be a way in to offer the same service group wide.
Being ACTOR approved, it's possible to gain funding from the Skills Funding Agency.

Competition / Market:

There is competition from companies such as YMCA Fit, Premier Training, FutureFit, and Lifetime HF. Gyms are still well attended and more are opening on a regular basis, therefore needing staff. Another factor is that staff turnover/drop-out is often high, meaning that gym instructors and particularly personal trainers have regular opportunities for employment. The training necessary to enter the fitness industry is now being enforced by prospective employers on potential employees, which is a big step forward from years ago when anybody could start working in a gym without qualifications. Online learning is another major step forward in learning methods and we have access to state of the art eLearning material. The market is not wholly price driven. Learners expect a brand they recognise and feel gives them the best chance of employment. The more established companies are charging close to £4000 for what we offer for £2000 and yet they are still in operation

Reasons for selling:

Due to personal circumstances, it is an appropriate time the Company is passed on to a buyer who can fulfil the potential of the Company and reap the rewards of the hard work put in so far.
