Jetts celebrates 200th club opening

Leading health and fitness franchise group Jetts Fitness has continued its rapid expansion with the opening of its 200th club.

The opening of the 200th club, located Brisbane, markes a significant milestone for the Jetts Group just six years after opening its first club in 2007. With their sights on expansion in NSW, which it identifies as a key growth target area, and the milestone of 200,000 members approaching, the group will target a further 50 clubs to add to its Australasian network in 2013.

Jetts Group Managing Director Adrian McFedries explains "we have an outstanding team of people in the Jetts network that are committed to maintaining our leadership of the 24/7 fitness industry.

"The essence of Jetts is providing members with freedom of choice low fees, no contracts and 24/7 access to 200+ conveniently located gyms. I am immensely proud of our six year journey.

"(Our) 199th club in Belmont, Victoria, and the 200th club in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane; (are) an incredible achievement and the result of a remarkable team of people.

"From here, our focus is on Sydney where there is significant market potential and we aim to add 20 clubs in NSW by the end of 2013".

The group is targeting a 53% increase in turnover this year having reported revenue of $74 million for 2011-2012. Having pioneered the 24/7, no contracts, gym concept in Australia six years ago with just $150,000 in capital, the health and fitness group intends to operate around 350 successful clubs in Australasia by end of 2014 and are focused on international expansion.

The 200th milestone celebration follows the recent announcement that for a second year running, Jetts has been awarded 'Canstar Blue #1 gym for customer satisfaction' which demonstrates members have embraced the freedom of choice that Jetts offers.

McFedries adds "we are delighted to open our 200th club and our commitment to our members remains the same just as it was when we opened our very first club. We are here to cater for members' needs and perfectly complement their lifestyle, in terms of convenience, affordability and a great all-round experience."
