Fitstop continues expansion across Australia with opening of Earlwood location

Functional fitness franchise, Fitstop, continues its rapid expansion across Australia with the opening of its newest location in Earlwood, NSW on 16th August, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s commitment to strengthening its presence in Greater Sydney and beyond.

The launch of Fitstop Earlwood signals the brand’s sharpened focus on the New South Wales market, which is a key priority in its broader growth roadmap. As consumer demand for structured, community-first strength training continues to accelerate, Fitstop is scaling strategically to meet this appetite with multiple new locations already in development.

Peter Hull, Founder and Chief Executive of Fitstop notes “NSW is a huge focus area for us. We’ve seen exceptional engagement across both metropolitan cities and regional towns, and now we’re investing heavily in making Fitstop a true fixture of the Sydney fitness scene.

“Earlwood is the perfect reflection of where we’re headed - high-quality operators, passionate local communities, and a proven training program that delivers real results. No matter if you're new to lifting or training for your next big challenge, Fitstop is here to help you progress through performance. This is just the beginning of what we’re building - the world's largest functional fitness community.”

With over 160 locations and counting, Fitstop continues to attract franchise partners and fitness entrepreneurs looking to align with a performance-driven brand that delivers both commercial success and meaningful member outcomes. The brand’s unique training methodology blending strength, conditioning, and endurance-based workouts has drawn strong loyalty from members and is supported by industry-leading technology and operational frameworks for franchisees.

The Earlwood launch comes at a time of record momentum for Fitstop, which has recently entered global markets including Singapore and the United States, while reinforcing its local footprint with a growing network across metropolitan and regional areas of Australia.

As part of the Earlwood opening, the new location will host an Open Day launch event on Saturday 16th August, featuring a live DJ, giveaways, and the opportunity for local residents to experience Fitstop’s signature group training style for themselves.
