Location Details
Phillip & Bruce
Great locations inside CISAC and opposite Westfield Woden, these StretchLab studios enjoy long leases with options, professional StretchLab fitouts, specialist equipment & materials, IT hardware, systems, furniture, fixtures, fittings & merchandise.
About the Opportunity
At StretchLab studios, fully trained and qualified Flexologists provide one-on-one assisted stretch sessions and small group stretch classes to clients seeking enhanced flexibility and mobility, reduced muscle and joint pain and improved sports performance and recovery. Clients also benefit from lowered stress and better posture.
Globally, there are approximately 550 StretchLab studios providing these benefits to clients every day. In Australia alone, there are over 30 studios currently operating, with more under development. Strong interest, lead flow and word-of-mouth referral, despite minimal marketing currently.
The current owner needs to sell for personal reasons creating an opportunity for a new owner to acquire these established studios without the significant cost, time and complexity associated with establishing a new business from the ground up.
While the studios are established and operational, current sales performance overall is below target. The experience of operating the studio to date has highlighted the importance of local hands-on ownership, strong local sales leadership and active involvement in the ACT fitness and wellness community.
For the right owner, this is where the opportunity lies.
The studios would particularly suit an owner-operator with a genuine passion for fitness and wellbeing, strong sales capability and the energy to be actively involved in growing membership and studio utilisation.
A commercially focused owner who enjoys building relationships, motivating teams, generating leads and converting prospective clients into members has the opportunity to take over an established platform and focus immediately on improving performance.
The opportunity is to focus on the areas that can make the greatest difference to performance:
* Driving local sales and membership growth
* Increasing lead conversion and client retention
* Building a strong sales culture within the studios
* Developing partnerships with gyms, sporting clubs, health professionals and local businesses
* Increasing community presence and local area marketing
* Growing studio utilisation
For an experienced fitness, wellness or franchise operator or someone with a keen interest in this sector, this is an attractive opportunity to acquire an established business with the studios, people, equipment and systems already in place.

Skills
