opportunities
 I started easyJet in 1995 with financial help from my
father and grew it to the number one low cost airline
in Europe. Today, I lead the easy® family of brands,
a licensing business that operates strong brands
across Europe with easyGym being one of them.
JOIN THE FAMILY

easyGym is looking for franchisees to lead growth

across Europe. If you are an entrepreneur with a bit
of capital and are willing to work hard, an easyGym
franchise may be for you. Our team can give you the
easyGym® brand know-how to grow into a success
whether you are totally new to the business or own an
existing gym that trades on a different name. Give the
team a call and let them know you are ready to build
your profile.

Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou

Chairman of easyGroup and
the Sir Stelios Philanthropic Foundation
When I set up easyGym in 2009,
I wanted to create a growth
platform to help people around
the world achieve their personal
best with a brand they trust and
respect.

Over 10 years, we tested and

proved our model through our
16 strategically placed corporate
sites across the UK. In 2018,
we felt confident we were ready
to pivot to a franchising model
that empowers indviduals and
entrepreneurs to realise success
through a proven, profitable model. We have now concluded master
franchise deals in France, Ireland, India, and Kenya with many more in
the pipeline.

I would like to invite you to join us on this journey of shared growth

and success. The world is full of opportunity!

You must not take it that the results demonstrated are your guarantee of achieving similar results in your chosen territory. Your achievements will
greatly depend on your own hard work and commitment, competition, local market conditions and specific operating costs. As sales increase
and if overheads are controlled, your business can make good progress as it becomes fully established.
You will need to research this business opportunity carefully and work with the easyGym team, an accountant and/or business adviser to
produce your own individual business plan in order to reflect the specific operating conditions in your territory and the level of sales activity you
anticipate. However, when you decide easyGym is the right business partner for you, we will be happy to give you every assistance throughout
your journey with the easyGym family.
