The brand, with more than 4,800 health club locations worldwide, was ranked in 2020 on Entrepreneur magazine’s first-ever Top Growth Franchises list.
“The long game for SEB is a bet on health and wellness, and it’s incredible to watch the growth and success of FFJ,” said Chuck Runyon, co-founder and CEO, SEB. “We embraced a disruptive model when we first started Anytime Fitness and built a multi-billion-dollar worldwide business that stands for health and wellness and supports small businesses. Now, the fitness industry is being disrupted again, shifting after the pandemic to a new normal as people worldwide reconsider the importance of exercise and movement to manage their health. This is a fantastic time for entrepreneurial franchise owners to join our brands, like FFJ, and help communities everywhere embrace their personal wellness in new and different ways.”
