The boutique fitness market continues to grow, and REGYMEN Fitness is positioning itself for expansion with a new majority owner. David “Patch” Patchell-Evans, a veteran in the fitness industry and founder of GoodLife Fitness, has acquired a majority stake in REGYMEN Fitness, bringing decades of experience in scaling fitness brands.
Patchell-Evans has been involved with REGYMEN for the past five years, integrating its boutique studio model into 12 GoodLife Fitness locations in Canada. Following the success of this partnership, Patchell-Evans is stepping into a larger leadership role, with plans to further expand the brand’s footprint.
Leah Seacrest, Vice President of Franchising for REGYMEN, emphasized the significance of this move. “Patch’s involvement in REGYMEN is a game changer,” Seacrest said. “He is one of the top leaders in the fitness industry and brings an entirely new set of skills and resources to help us to continue to grow the brand.”
Patchell-Evans has extensive experience in the fitness franchise industry, having contributed to the growth of brands such as Oxygen Yoga & Fitness, which now operates over 130 locations across North America. He anticipates similar growth for REGYMEN Fitness, with a focus on both domestic and international markets.
“The franchise model is turn-key and is supported by a strong team of industry professionals that are focused on helping franchisees grow their business both here in the US and internationally,” Patchell-Evans said. “A REGYMEN franchise costs less to build than comparable models, and it is a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurs looking for a solid investment opportunity.”
REGYMEN Fitness currently operates 23 locations, including six franchises, one corporate store, four licensed stores, and 12 integrated studios within GoodLife Fitness clubs. The company’s high-intensity group fitness programs, BURN and BUILD, are designed to provide engaging, results-driven workouts supported by exercise science.
