Jetts Fitness is a chain of 24-hour health clubs, with over 270 locations in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand,[1] the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.[2][3] The company operates under a franchise system.[4] Its outlets are considered to be "budget" gyms.[5]

History[]

The company was launched in 2007,[6] by Sunshine Coast couple Brendon and Cristy Levenson,[7] with the first club opening on the Gold Coast, Queensland. The firm offers 24 hour per day access and no lock-in contracts to members.[8] In 2012, the company was named by BRW as Australia's #1 Fastest Growing Franchise,[9] with revenue growth of 403% and turnover of $43 million, and in 2012 was the 2nd fastest growing company in Australia.[10]

In 2016, the company was acquired by Quadrant Private Equity, who own the company through its Fitness and Lifestyle Group along with other Australian-based gym brands including Fitness First, Goodlife Health Clubs and Hypoxi.[11]

International expansion[]

In June 2010, the franchise launched its first international club in Royal Oak, New Zealand.[12][13] In late 2013, the first European club opened in the Netherlands,[14] and the company announced further expansion plans into the UK in October 2014.[15]

In January 2016, the company opened its first Asian club in Bangkok, Thailand.[16] In 2021, there are at least 33 clubs in Thailand.

In 2015, Jetts was named best medium-sized fitness company at the New Zealand Exercise Industry Awards.[17] That year the group operated about 250 clubs, comprising more than 250,000 members.[18][19][20]

The head office is located in Mooloolaba, Queensland.
