Former Fitness First Australia Managing Director Tony de Leede is set to re enter the Australian fitness industry with a new express fitness concept.

De Leede is backing Fit n Fast, offering a 30-minute workout with no contract memberships costing users less than $10 a week.

Claimed to be "the cheapest workout in Australia" the business aims to open 50 clubs in the next five years. Currently eight facilities are under development in metropolitan Sydney with the first club set to open in the west Sydney suburb of Penrith at the beginning of June.

De Leede, the founder of Fitness First Australia, stepped down from his Chief Executive's role in July 2008 after eight years with the business.

During that time he had led Fitness First's growth to 83 clubs nationally and an annual turnover estimated at $350 million.
