    Join an Industry that Grew 7.8% Last Year
    Boutique fitness is on the rise – you’ve probably seen small, specialized gyms popping up in your area. In fact, the International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Association reported that while membership at traditional gyms grew by 5% over a three-year period, boutique studio membership grew by upwards of 70%.

    And our one-of-a-kind group workout programming and captivating neighborhood experience position us perfectly to stay ahead of the trend. By franchising with HEW®, you’ll join the boutique fitness boom, providing a more personalized, hands-on experience than any big-box gym concept can offer. We put each member first, creating an atmosphere that welcomes them instead of intimidating them.
