Testimonials

Home: Testimonials

We chose Empowered Brands as our UK partner because, with over 100 fitness clubs already open in the UK and a strategy to build a powerful brand stable across Europe, we knew we had a partner who matched our ambition to grow exponentially in a post-Covid marketplace that demands innovation, flexibility and simplicity, which is what UBX provides. As the market recovers following the initial shock of the pandemic, we've seen interest in our franchise opportunity growing dramatically. We anticipate that this will be our strongest year ever with a club opening somewhere in the world every 7 days.

Founder, UBX
