Why Fitness World?

Since 1959, Fitness World has been a pillar in the Canadian fitness community. In 2020, following an asset purchase during the pandemic, we opened 15 clubs in just 3 weeks—and we haven’t slowed down since. Our member base has grown every single month, and we now grow at twice the rate of the industry average.

Fitness World’s executive team is made up of industry veterans with a cumulative 200 years of experience.

When you join Fitness World, you’re not just buying into a gym—you’re investing in a modern, scalable, and data-driven health and wellness model.
