Lift Brands, the parent company of Snap Fitness, is set to hit the market after being under the ownership of US-based private equity firm TZP for nearly 11 years. A decision to sell the business was initially delayed due to the disruptive impact of the ongoing Covid pandemic. However, with the situation gradually stabilizing, the current management of Lift Brands is optimistic about the prospect of welcoming a new partner on board to drive growth opportunities.

Excitement brews within the company as they anticipate robust organic growth, coupled with potential mergers and acquisitions, that may propel them further in the market. Lift Brands not only owns Snap Fitness and Fitness on Demand but also holds minority stakes in 9Round and FitStop, expanding its footprint in the fitness industry.

Snap Fitness, in particular, has been making significant strides in the Asia-Pacific region, witnessing a surge in expansion. The past year saw 42 new franchises being sold in Australia and New Zealand, with a total of 14 new locations being inaugurated across both countries. This growth signals a positive trajectory for Snap Fitness and sets the stage for further development in the region.

As Lift Brands prepares to embark on this new chapter by inviting potential buyers to the table, industry experts are keenly observing the unfolding developments. The impending sale of the company holds promise for enhanced innovation, market presence, and ultimately, a bright future for Snap Fitness and its affiliates.
