Snap Fitness already owns five gyms in Wiltshire, and Swindon is now earmarked to become its next location.
It comes after the company put out an advert looking for someone to launch the new gym.
The advert, which includes an asking price of £500,000 to £1 million, says the gym will be “exclusive” and in “high-demand territory”.
“This is your chance to open a globally recognised Snap Fitness franchise in one of the UK’s most promising untapped markets,” said a spokesperson for Snap Fitness.
“Swindon has strong consumer demand for quality, round-the-clock fitness — and with no local Snap presence, you’ll hold exclusive rights to a lucrative and growing area.”

The company asks only that the individual is an “investor, career-changer, or business minded fitness enthusiast.”
At this stage, the location of this new Swindon gym, which will be open 24/7, has not been revealed.
However, it has been described as a “prime location with natural footfall and great access for members” and “limited competition in the area.”

Two full-time employees will be given jobs at the new gym, as well as additional self-employed personal trainers and group exercise instructors.
In terms of dates for the opening of the gym, Snap Fitness promises it can “be operational within months” once an owner is found.
Up to 70 per cent of the full start-up costs can be funded by Snap Fitness’ high-street banking partners.
Swindon’s closest Snap Fitness gym is currently in Chippenham (Image: Google Maps) Currently, Snap Fitness has over 1,000 clubs worldwide, including branches in Chippenham, Melksham, Devizes, Trowbridge and Warminster.
The closest branch to Swindon is either Chippenham or Cirencester.
Yet with a 17 per cent member growth in 2024, compared to a 4.1 per cent growth in the general fitness industry, Snap Fitness is pushing forward with expansion across the globe.
A spokesperson for the company added: “With Snap Fitness locations reaching operational breakeven within weeks and a return on investment within three years, it’s a great opportunity to reinvest your capital and rapidly become a multi-site owner.”
Swindon already has over 15 gyms currently operational across the town.
Other national companies which have opened gym branches in Swindon include PureGym, Anytime Fitness, The Gym Group, Buzz Gym, JD Gyms and Simply Gym.
