## Story

Excel Fitness, one of the largest Planet Fitness franchisees, is on the hunt for new acquisitions as it looks to expand its footprint across the U.S.

Backed by private equity firm Olympus Partners, Excel Fitness currently operates more than 166 Planet Fitness clubs. The company is targeting opportunities in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia and Utah.

Integrity Square, an M&A advisory firm focused on the health, active lifestyle and outdoors (HALO) sector, is representing Excel Fitness in the expansion push.
