Alongside the fitness industry, this year’s 10 Topfranchise Award winners come from a wide array of industries including human resources, food, retail, personal services, renovations and mortgage brokers.

Winners include Frontline Recruitment Group, Soul Origin, Snap-on Tools Australia & New Zealand, Fernwood Fitness (above left), Mister Minit, Dream Doors Australia, Snooze, ANZ Mobile Lending, Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse and Plus Fitness (above right).

The 2024 Topfranchise Awards placed Fernwood Fitness in 4th place overall and Plus Fitness 10th overall.

The highest placement for Fernwood Fitness in a category top 10 was for Passion where they came 2nd.

The highest placement for Plus Fitness in a category top 10 was for Lifestyle where they came 4th.

The 10 THOUSAND FEET Strategic Market Research team surveyed thousands of franchisees across Australia to determine the award winners.

Your support teams should be very proud. With such a diverse range of industries represented in this year’s top 10 it highlights that with the right strategy, brand and people, anyone can thrive, no matter the industry vertical.”
