Snap Fitness Honors Franchisees & Employees with Outstanding Achievement Awards

The awards celebrate successful franchisees that show out-of-the-box thinking, innovative approaches to business and marketing, and provide stellar support to members and fellow franchisees. The coveted award finalists are nominated by company leadership and franchise business coaches in the U.S. and Canada; it then goes to a vote among peers. Depending on the category, winners receive an Apple watch, a Theragun precision massager or a stipend to put toward club improvements or equipment.

“Honoring these employees and franchisees is easily one of the best parts of my job,” said Ty Menzies, global CEO for Lift Brands, the parent company for Snap Fitness. “This past year saw its share of challenges to be sure, but our teams really stepped up and made the most of any situation thrown their way. We’re so fortunate to have these people in our #OneTeam family, and I know that they’ll be a big part of our success in years to come.”
