I had a great chat with Mark from Bodystreet — what an interesting Gym Franchise concept!
We covered a lot of ground quickly. His energy is infectious, and he explained the Bodystreet concept with real clarity and enthusiasm.
There are some brilliant insights from our conversation that I think you’ll find valuable, especially if you’re interested in health, fitness, or exploring a local franchise opportunity.
👇 Take a look at the interview notes below.
Bodystreet is a revolutionary fitness concept that’s changing the way people think about health and well-being. Originally founded in Germany, Bodystreet has been operating in the UK since 2018 and offers a bold new approach to personal training: just 20 minutes a week is all it takes to achieve your fitness goals.
We recently sat down with Mark, the UK Master Franchise Owner, to learn more about this innovative brand and the exciting franchise opportunity behind it.
A New Era in Gym Fitness
What sets Bodystreet apart is its use of EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) technology. Your customers train for only 20 minutes per week—yes, just 20 minutes—and get the same benefits as spending several hours in a traditional gym. This is perfect for busy professionals, parents, people who need guidance or anyone short on time but serious about results.
The experience also includes guidance similar to a personal trainer session, with professionals on-hand to monitor your technique, guide you on nutrition, and maximise the effectiveness of your workout. Which I think is of great value to prevent injury, etc. It’s efficient, high-impact, and backed by science.
From a personal standpoint, I know how tough it can be to try to get to the gym two or three times a week. Bodystreet eliminates that pressure and makes results more accessible. It’s an ideal solution for people with demanding schedules who still care about their health.
A Smart Business Model
Now let’s talk business. Bodystreet has thriving franchises from Scotland to southern England, with the busiest location worldwide in Milton Keynes. That alone says a lot about the brand’s potential in the UK.
This is a growth market. Like many of us who watched industries like mobile phones or food delivery explode and thought “I wish I’d got in early,” Bodystreet feels like one of those rare opportunities. With so many people of all ages now attending the gym as a necessary part of life, this offers a big market unique niche, especially for those looking for added benefits and a smarter way to train.
It’s a low-barrier franchise in terms of setup cost, with minimal ongoing expenses and good profit potential. Typical franchisees can earn between £40,000 to £80,000+ per year, depending on location and ambition. One top-performing franchise is heading towards a £500,000 annual turnover.
What Does It Take?
Franchisees should have one or some business acumen, sales experience, and a passion for health and wellness. The initial franchise fee is £49,950, plus fit-out costs (which the franchise team helps guide you on costings – £15k was mentioned as a benchmark).
That fee includes your first year’s operating costs, training, and ongoing support. Mark and his team are looking for motivated individuals with a passion for health and well-being, ready to build something meaningful.
A Franchise with a Guarantee
Here’s something rare: Bodystreet offers a guarantee on your initial investment if you don’t reach specific goals within six months. That speaks volumes about their confidence in the model. Please speak with Bodystreet for full clarity on this.
They’re also apprenticeship ambassadors, providing valuable job and training opportunities for young people in the local area. It’s a smart move that enhances brand credibility and helps franchisees address the ongoing challenge of recruiting quality staff.
Final Thoughts
This concept hits all the right notes—modern, time-efficient, high-value, and scalable – and its an emerging timely market. Whether you want a solid, local business to work within or you’re aiming to build something bigger, Bodystreet offers a flexible path to your preffered success.
If you’re interested in health and well-being and want to get into a market that’s more niche than a regular Gym Franchise, this is a great opportunity.
Customers can access this service for around £40. I believe the customer pricing is very competitive, with room for flexibility depending on your location. Franchisees have the option to adjust pricing to suit their market. With strong marketing and a premium service approach, there’s potential to charge accordingly. From my perspective, positioning it as a high-end offering could set it apart.
If you’re exploring franchise opportunities and want to be part of a growing trend that genuinely improves lives, Bodystreet deserves your attention.
