The Shredquarters

About The Shredquarters

The Shredquarters offers bespoke fitness facilities and gyms specialising in intensive cardio and weight workouts that burn fat and build lean muscle.

Established in 2015, The Shredquarters was created as a functional fitness gym with the feel of a boutique gym space rather than a soulless large or 24-hour gym. Offering more than 30 fitness sessions a week to choose from along with the option of personal training, The Shredquarters trainers create challenging sessions to drive results among their client base.

Functional fitness is training that mimics everyday activities, training the body to work more effectively. Each of the fitness sessions at The Shredquarters fitness clubs is individually designed daily to provide maximum variety, so members never have the same workout twice.

Three types of membership are available: an entry-level x3 Sessions Package, offering the minimum recommended sessions; an Unlimited Membership, which allows members to attend as many sessions as they like; and a popular 8 Week Shred Package, which includes nutrition advice and weekly body fat monitoring. Personal training is also available alongside any of the membership packages.

The functional fitness classes, which are easy to book via an app, create a sense of community and trainers support every member with reaching their own personal fitness goals. Delivering high quality, bespoke training with no contracts and low weekly costs, The Shredquarters aims to make every class feel like a personal training session that delivers real results, fast, giving it a competitive edge in the fitness industry.

How does a Shredquarters franchise work?

There are two different options for launching a Shredquarters gym franchise. Franchisees can either start as one of the trainers as well as managing the business or alternatively fitness instructors can be employed to run the classes, allowing the franchisee to focus purely on running and growing the gym. 

The Shredquarters franchise owners are expected to run five different training sessions, covering all the aspects required to achieve health and fitness goals.

The high intensity ‘Shred Sessions’ are a staple, mixing strength and cardio to burn fat and build up fitness. ‘Commando Classes’ includes Olympic barbell lifting style classes which are focused completely on resistance based weight training aimed at gaining strength, muscle and definition. It also includes ‘Core/Yoga’ classes to improve stability and flexibility, while a separate ‘Shred Beginners’ class concentrates on form and technique, making it a great starting point for anyone with little or no gym experience. The Shredquarters has also recently added full online service and outdoor bootcamps so that during and post-COVID, it now has a full exercise platform to meet everybody’s needs.

Franchisees or their employees should also be able to offer bespoke personal training and nutritional advice as required.

What are the startup costs for a Shredquarters franchise?

Depending on the premises The Shredquarters has so far established all its fitness franchise operations for a maximum of £100,000. You will need £50,000 liquid capital investment.

This is a relatively low-cost set-up figure for a gym franchise and includes the cost of the fitness club’s fit-out and gym equipment, franchisee training and a fully managed marketing launch for the new business.
