Idea

Introduction

easyGym operates a global, fast-growing, low-cost, big-box gym franchise network. With 6 countries and +250 sites in the development pipeline, easyGym’s rapid growth is built on a strong global brand, an attractive franchise system and scalable cloud-based technology.

easyGym aims to continue to build momentum by democratising the investment opportunity within the fast-growing and profitable low-cost gym sector. easyGym is opening its proven model to investors and franchisees who can now be a part of this rapid growth.

easyGym aims to provide everyone with greater access to affordable, high quality, 24/7 gyms. Members enjoy a wide variety of equipment and access to PACK45 for a complete range of training styles.

We believe the PACK45 functional training system is a cut above standard gym classes. Shown to deliver results, PACK45 uses proprietary algorithms led by qualified trainers to deliver premium boutique-style training at a fraction of the price.

Investors should read the "Important information - Disclosures" document for information relating to the IP licence agreement, loan and the class of shares investors will receive in this round.

Intended impact

easyGym aims to be the leading low-cost, high value gym franchisor with a global presence. A well-known purveyor of value, the brand is recognisable and offers a low-cost differentiated model. We believe that easyGym is well positioned to offer global low-cost fitness franchising based on the following core drivers:

At its core, easyGym exists to make fitness affordable and accessible to the many. The global fitness market (physical and digital) is predicted to be worth £100+ billion by 2022. We estimate that on average, less than 10% of people have gym memberships in the 33 countries where easyJet has operations. In Asia, Africa & the Middle-East, we estimate that membership can be less than 5%. Given that the United States membership rate of 20% is the highest in the world, this investment opportunity is significant. We believe easyGym's franchise model is risk mitigated to drive rapid and successful scale and delivers great local service. Integrated systems support a consistent and efficient onboarding process. PACK45 satisfies a growing appetite for boutique-style training and digital experiences.

Rewards

Substantial accomplishments to date

.....................................................................................................................................................

Monetisation strategy

Revenue from one-off fees allows the business to build corporate hubs, develop the system and maintain the short and medium-term needs of the business.

We intend to use recurring revenue to finance the development of a long-term sustainable business platform with the capability to: support global expansion, drive innovation and generate investment value.

The quality of revenue and earnings will be strongly linked to the success of individual gyms and therefore each location approved into the network will need to pass easyGym's proven criteria. This will include among other things:

- Strong location demographics
- Highly visible signage opportunities
- Attractive property economics
- Site that meets requirements for a capital efficient fit-out

Use of proceeds

The vision of the business is to build the largest fitness network in the world by 2030 and have presence in at least 100 countries. Management will utilise the funds raised as follows:

Corporate owned hubs anchor the business. We envisage that investment in a London hub will generate strong levels of cash flow, while offering facilities for in-house innovation, content generation, training and showcasing easyGym.

Marketing and sales is expected to generate global franchise interest and conversion. We believe that PR, partnerships and data-driven franchisee customer journeys, will qualify and build relationships with the right individuals who exemplify the easyGym brand.

easyGym's number one objective is to deliver a scalable, consistent and high quality experience globally. Further investment in cloud-based platforms will automate essential operational, back-office and marketing support. Enhanced real-time member engagement and predictive AI-based analytics will inform smart decision-making and we believe will maximise investment returns.

Please note that the company has in place a 5 year term loan for the sum of £1.05 million with an 8% annual compounding interest. Important further details are set out in the attached "Important information - Disclosures" document. Funds raised as part of this campaign will not be used to pay this loan.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

This campaign for easyGym has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 16 August 2019 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £9,001,300

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Seedrs.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).
