Fitness franchise network expanding across ANZ with 24/7 clubs, apparel, and wellness services
Fitness Cartel operates a multi-brand fitness franchise business across Australia and New Zealand, targeting 60 clubs by late 2029 with ancillary revenue streams (apparel, supplements, spa services). The hiring surge — 33 roles in the last 30 days across healthcare, ops, and fitness — reflects aggressive club expansion and pre-sales infrastructure buildout. Their tech stack is lean (WordPress, Google Ads, MailChimp, Analytics) and marketing-focused, signaling a growth model driven by paid acquisition and SEO rather than proprietary tech.
Fitness Cartel is an Australian-owned fitness franchise operator running 24/7 health clubs across Australia and New Zealand. The business combines core gym memberships with three revenue layers: branded apparel, a supplement line (Nutrition Cartel), and a spa wellness vertical (Merse Wellness Spa). Founded in 2019, the company aims to operate 60 locations by November 2029 and attract 20 million annual visits. Expansion is supported by a self-owned model and a hiring focus on healthcare, operations, and sales roles.
Marketing and operations tools: WordPress (site), Meta and Google Ads (paid), MailChimp (email), Google Analytics and Search Console (measurement), Canva (design), Adobe Creative Cloud, Excel, and Linktree.
