Retra Fitness Franchise

Fast, Effective and Affordable Functional Training

Simply put, RETRA is a revolutionary new fitness method. It’s the result of many years of research and development. The brand uses a proven sports science methodology and has developed workouts built to suit the needs of all individuals, making them fun, fast, effective and – most importantly – affordable!

RETRA’s concept is circuit training but with the use of technology. Customers are given pre-described workouts that provide them with guidance and instruction during the circuit classes. What’s even better is that there is no need to book a time to attend – you can just walk in a join a session as the technology and instructor will guide you.

The Opportunity

You could be among the first to bring RETRA’s truly unique and highly efficient circuit training-inspired group fitness concept to your local market! The dynamic, systemised, turnkey business model has low start-up costs, low operational costs and fast returns.

It offers a unique, affordable, yet premium, boutique fitness product that is globally scalable and is a market disrupter. Built on technology and innovation, backed by sports science, RETRA’s key principles deliver a high level of support, training and business development to all its franchisees.

The brand can occupy units sized between 1,500 and 4,000 square feet, presenting an exciting commercial opportunity due to the flexibility and diverse range of site selection.

We live in a time when they want more than just a personal trainer. Boutique fitness concepts are booming. However, sadly, it’s clear these boutique studios are not accessible to everyone and many people are excluded. These boutiques tend to be either closed-door member clubs (which are far too elitist and/or intimidating), or they’re simply just not affordable.

Every detail of RETRA FITNESS has been meticulously selected by the in-house team design team to give a boutique feel with a high-quality finish to each site. Chris Pan, the owner and franchisor, adds: “We are searching for good locations with sites that would thrive, and we are also trying to convert struggling independent studios into our franchises. We are willing to co-invest alongside them.”

How we support you

Over the course of three years, RETRA has outperformed all expectations. Even with high costs of living and soaring inflation RETRA has a solution. RETRA was designed to have the future in mind, with a heavy focus on technology, being a turnkey franchise with low-set ups and a low staffing cost model. The business is easy to manage, and franchisees do not need a background in fitness – only a passion to drive the business forward.
