Franchisees

Owning a Gold’s Gym Franchise puts you in elite company. You are a member of a family that includes some of the most passionate and brightest people in the health and fitness industry.

We now welcome you as part of another family…the Gold’s Gym Franchisee Association.

Your Franchisee Association is essentially your vehicle to be heard, to be kept “in the know” on all matters relating to your franchise, to network with fellow gym owners, to share information and experiences and to save money through a variety of products and services.

As the official voice for all franchisees, the GGFA is always here for you and we encourage you to participate in our many events and programs. Your active participation is vital to the overall success of all of our businesses and our organization.

Some of the many benefits of your GGFA membership include:

Representation – the GGFA is the official and only recognized voice to our franchisor.

Best Practices - sharing information and learning from other successful gym owners allows you to operate at peak efficiency and save money as well.
Committee Representation – the GGFA holds seats on all committees that directly affect your business, including: the Gold’s Gym Advertising Committee, the Global Vendor Program Committee and the Best Practices Committee.
