Welcome to the January 2009 edition of the Fitness Business e-Newsletter.
2009 promises to be an eventful and exciting year. Amongst all the news, Virgin Active opens its first Club in the Sydney Northern Beaches with a second due to open in Melbourne's Bourke Street by the end of March 2009. Beach House Health & Fitness franchise owners re-badge under One Life with Genesis also picking up several sites including Hobart. Fenix Fitness look to expand in the Gold Coast and Melbourne. Jetts 24/7 Fitness plan 12 more sites this year including 7 in QLD. Fitness First will add another 5 sites to their ever expanding portfolio in 2009. That's great news for suppliers who will hopefully benefit from all the new sites.
There are currently over 100 ladies fitness facilities for sale or closing in Australia! Has the bubble burst?
