As with any business, opening a gym franchise comes with its own set of startup challenges, from market research and planning to staffing, and time is always of the essence.

But the SPENGA system is different. With the help of our proven process and empowering support staff, you’ll hit the ground running, minimizing startup risks while maximizing your growth potential in the boutique fitness space.
That’s what today’s post is all about. Read on to learn how our franchise system helps owners WERK smart and skip the 5 most common challenges facing startup businesses, or fill out our online contact form to request franchise information straight away.
Opening a gym franchise: WERK smart and skip the startup stress
According to Forbes, the 5 most common (and costly) start-up challenges facing new business owners are:
- Identifying a real market need
- Finding the right solution to satisfy that market need
- Securing funding without sacrificing focus on your product/service
- Hiring the right people and building a healthy culture
- Finding Work-Life Balance
Without deep domain knowledge, serious business acumen, and a crystal-clear vision, these obstacles can seem insurmountable. But you don’t have to do it alone!
The SPENGA system is specifically designed to simplify the process of opening a gym franchise and help you conquer any startup challenges. To date, we’ve helped hundreds of owners pursue their passions and build boutique fitness studios in their communities, and we can do the same for you.
Here’s a few ways we’re helping owners WERK smart and streamline startup:
1. SPENGA puts a proven plan in your hands from day-one
You could invest months in market research and roll the dice with an unproven plan, or you could skip the time sink and WERK right out of our winning playbook.
The SPENGA team has been studying the industry since 2003, and after years of R&D, we identified a strong demand for holistic, one-stop fitness solutions in the boutique fitness space.
To satisfy this market need, we combined the three pillars of fitness—cardio (RIDE), strength (REP), and flexibility (REVIVE)—and created a one-of-a-kind studio atmosphere, complete with clean design, invigorating scents, and DJ curated beats, to keep our clients feeling energized and excited about every session.
Using our unique 20-20-20 structure and a personalized approach to WERKout planning, we help our clients maximize their results without breaking down their bodies or having to pay for multiple memberships.
This system WERKS for our members, and it WERKS for our franchisees, as borne out by our brand’s rapid growth and multiple awards in the franchise industry.

2. SPENGA automates service development while you focus on financing
Opening a gym franchise with SPENGA requires between $288,605 to $858,138 on average. Although this is a fraction of the cost of some franchises (e.g. big-name fast food franchises requiring multi-million dollar investments), and our system comes with far less capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX), it can still take some time to build up the minimum capital requirements.
But however long it takes, you won’t have to worry about falling behind or seeing your service plan become obsolete, as is the case with most startups.
At SPENGA, we Never Stand Still—we are constantly investing in service development and system upgrades, adding new technology, WERKout formats, equipment, and processes to improve our efficiencies, so you don’t have to.
Whenever you’re ready to invest in our fitness franchise, we’ll be waiting, with cutting-edge systems, startup supports, and the BEST. WERKOUT. EVER!
