Five Years and Counting

Snap Fitness Ingelmunster (Belgium) marks its milestone anniversary in style.

Snap Fitness Ingelmunster recently celebrated its 5-year anniversary, and what a ride it has been! The club is owned by Kurt and Fidel. Kurt has been with this location since the beginning and Fidel has worked at the club as a personal trainer from the start and joined Kurt as a co-owner in January. To celebrate their successful 5 years, the club organised personal training session giveaways on social media.

We had the opportunity to ask Kurt about what about Snap Fitness caught his eye as a franchise opportunity, and he said, “I love the Snap Fitness brand for many reasons, but the 24/7 concept stood out to me the most when deciding to franchise. I appreciate the fact that this feature makes fitness accessible for anyone and it offers an unparalleled level of flexibility for gym-goers worldwide.”

Over the last five years, Kurt’s journey has been one of hard work, dedication, and overcoming challenges, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic. They persevered through it all, ensuring that the gym remained safe for members, even during the toughest times. The pandemic required a quick shift in strategy, but Kurt’s commitment to serving their community never wavered.

When asked about advice for other franchisees and club managers, Kurt said to continually reinvent yourselves and your club and constantly looking for ways to improve your club’s offerings. Kurt also recommends to always ask for feedback from members as a way to gain insights and ideas for improving your club's service offerings.

Kurt and Fidel’s journeys over the last five years has been of dedication, hard work, and perseverance, and they are excited to see what the next five years will bring. Looking ahead, they aim to continue growing their customer base and focus on their personal training service and experiences. Congratulations to the entire team at Snap Fitness Ingelmunster, here's to another five years of success and growth! •
