Snap Fitness, the world’s fastest growing franchise featuring compact,
state-of-the-art fitness centers, announces the promotion of Gary
Findley to Chief Operating Officer. Findley, formerly Senior Vice President of Franchise Sales, will expand
his leadership role to assist in enhancing Snap Fitness’ operational
efficiencies. Meanwhile, he will continue to lead the company’s
franchise sales development both domestic and internationally. “Gary has been a great addition to our leadership team and will play a
valuable role in our growth and success as we expand and develop the
Snap Fitness brand globally,” said Peter Taunton, Founder and CEO of
Snap Fitness. “In his new position, he and I will work closely together
to make certain Snap Fitness has the right people, the right services
and the right locations to serve our customers and franchisees
worldwide.” Findley, who joined Snap Fitness in October 2008, has more than 15
years of experience in the franchise industry, including eight-year
tenure at Curves International. As President of Curves, he played an
integral part in turning the chain into one of the fastest growing
franchise companies in history. Findley also spent two years as Vice
President of Franchise Sales for the Dwyer Group. The promotion comes on the heals of a monumental year for Snap Fitness
that saw the burgeoning brand become the fastest franchise system to
reach 1,000 club openings since its creation. Today, Snap Fitness
operates clubs in 48 states, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and
India. “Snap Fitness continues to experience spectacular growth, as it further
establishes itself as the premier concept in the $18.5 billion fitness
industry,” Findley said. “I couldn’t be more excited about my role with
the company and look forward to helping guide the franchise to its next
stage of operational success.”
