About Snap Fitness

Snap Fitness is a 24/7 gym franchise with 2,500+ locations globally, founded in 2003 in Chaska, Minnesota. Known for its small-footprint, affordable gym model, Snap Fitness pioneered the 24/7 key fob access gym concept that many competitors have since adopted.

Snap Fitness's small footprint (2,500–5,000 sq ft) and 24/7 key fob access model creates a capital-efficient gym that can succeed in markets too small for full-format gyms. The brand's monthly membership model provides consistent recurring revenue.
