What are the franchise terms of agreement and renewal?

This is an initial 10 years with automatic renewal and no fee.

Why is the XCELERATE franchise a good investment?

The world has changed and out of every crisis comes an opportunity.

XCELERATE’s client base is broad and its branding reflects this, as well as the quality of the facilities and the services it will offer.

XCELERATE aims to retain a centre-market position in the fitness business, balancing an accessible price point that delivers value to the member, while maintaining a strong yield for its business owners and each individual business plan. While families are a core target market, it anticipates approx 30 per cent of members will be signed up to family gym memberships and 70 per cent individual adult memberships.

XCELERATE will actively target all active gym-goers. It believes that XCELERATE will provide a natural upgrade for members of big-box budget gyms or its local competition as people demand more from their gyms and are prepared to invest more in their health and fitness.

XCELERATE’s onboarding programme and 360-degree view of its members’ health will also ensure it become the go-to gym for new gym-goers in local communities.

A member of XCELERATE GYMS’ franchisee recruitment team will then make contact with you.

Before investing in a franchise, you are advised to conduct in-depth and independent research into the business opportunity on offer before parting with any money.

This may include looking closely at the market in which the franchise operates and talking to already established franchisees (you may require permission from the franchisor to do this) about the business, their relationship with the franchisor and whether their expectations are being met.

It is also a good idea to pay a suitably qualified accountant to conduct a review of the financial information provided to you by the franchisor. 

You should also ask a lawyer who is familiar with franchising and the franchise business model to scrutinise the franchise agreement before you sign it. A franchise agreement is a legally binding document that can tie a franchisee into a business relationship with franchisor for a number of years.

Like many franchise businesses looking to recruit franchisees, XCELERATE GYMS holds a series of discovery days throughout the year for those looking to become a business owner.

These events give prospective investors the chance to find out everything they need to know about the business, meet key members of the management team face to face and see first-hand how the company is set up.

Discovery days also give franchisors the opportunity to find out more about would-be franchisees and whether they would fit well into their existing franchise network, so have a vital role in the recruitment process for both parties.
