PORTSMOUTH, N.H.<\/strong> – Crunch Fitness ranks in the Top 10% of all franchises in Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2022 Franchise 500<\/em>, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. The highly competitive Franchise 500 ranks Crunch as #43 for its outstanding performance in unit growth, financial strength and stability and brand power.<\/p>\n

Crunch has consistently demonstrated increased growth, despite a challenging couple of years for the fitness industry. The brand exceeded 128% of pre-pandemic membership levels and was the only major brand in the industry to grow throughout the pandemic. After rapidly climbing from its #148 ranking in Entrepreneur’s 2020 Franchise 500\u00ae list to #52 in 2021, Crunch again outperforms competitors as the top-ranking full-service fitness franchise for 2022. As a full-service gym, Crunch offers extensive cardio equipment, a full weight room, proprietary group fitness, HIIT classes, The Ride, Relax & Recover area, personal training, nutrition guidance, and more.<\/p>\n

“We are very proud to see Crunch recognized as a leading franchise this year. Our continued growth is a real testament to the strength of our franchisees, the franchise team, our members, and their dedication to the Crunch brand,” said Ben Midgley, CEO of Crunch Franchising.<\/p>\n

“There are still more challenges ahead, to be sure,” said Entrepreneur Editor-in-Chief Jason Feifer. “But the franchising industry has made its point: It is built for resilience. Its franchisees and franchisors are full of grit and innovation. They will tackle everything with the spirit of entrepreneurship because that is what’s at their core.”<\/p>\n

Throughout its 43 years, Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500\u00ae has become a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees. The company’s 43-year-old ranking formula includes research and assessment from the editorial team on franchise costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.<\/p>\n
