Orangetheory Fitness enters Italian market with smaller studio format and Technogym partnership

Orangetheory Fitness is entering Italy for the first time, with Icon Palestre securing franchise rights to open four studios in the greater Rome metro area over the next four years. The expansion is part of Purpose Brands' international growth strategy following recent launches in Japan and the Gulf Cooperation Council. The Rome locations will feature a new smaller studio format with streamlined equipment, enabling growth in areas with limited real estate whilst reducing upfront capital costs for franchisees. Italian fitness manufacturer Technogym will supply a portion of the strength equipment. Purpose Brands, which owns Orangetheory and Anytime Fitness among other wellness brands, generates $3.9 billion in revenue and operates across 46 countries with six million members.
