## Story

2020 was a wild ride for many in the fitness industry, but if you’re an investor looking for fitness brands to get involved with, 2021 promises a high-performance second half. This year nontraditional fitness franchises are likely to see tremendous growth as many former gym-goers look for alternative ways to workout that don't involve going to a crowded gym. Another area of the fitness industry expected to have a great year is gyms that are open for extended hours, allowing for members to come at less busy times of the day or night.

From smaller studios, to in-home fitness concepts and locally-owned gyms, fitness franchises are poised to have a great 2021. Here are 8 of our favorite fitness franchises for 2021:
