Fitness Ventures, LLC, the largest franchisee of Crunch Fitness, has acquired Crunch Brownsville, Crunch North Brownsville, and Crunch Edinburg in Texas, respectively, marking another step in its national growth strategy.
Fitness Ventures reports that it operates 86 Crunch Fitness gyms in 30 states, including 11 in Texas. The company said this acquisition clears the way for Fitness Ventures to invest heavily in the Rio Grande Valley and is actively seeking sites, with plans to open an additional six to eight gyms in the region.
“This acquisition represents another major milestone in our nationwide expansion,” said CEO Brian Hibbard of Fitness Ventures. “The Rio Grande Valley is a high-growth market with incredible potential, and integrating these three strong clubs into our portfolio accelerates our mission to deliver best-in-class fitness experiences in every community we serve.”
Fitness Ventures indicated that the company’s nationwide growth has been driven by “strategic acquisitions, new builds and ongoing investment in club upgrades.”
“We’re executing one of the most aggressive growth plans in the Crunch system,” Hibbard added. “Crossing 86 locations is only the beginning. Our pipeline of new clubs, renovations and future acquisitions keeps expanding, and members at all Fitness Ventures clubs will see that commitment immediately.”
