Body20 History
The first Body20 studio opened in Brackenfell, Cape Town in 2013 and reached full capacity within 9 months.
Fueled by industry knowledge and a passion for fitness, we developed proprietary EMS fitness programmes to establish the Body20 brand. The first Studio served as the foundation, leading to the establishment of our unique model in the franchising sector.
Our expansion has extended across Africa, including thriving markets in Namibia and Botswana. Since 2018, our footprint has grown significantly, with over 400 studios in development across the United States. Since then we established the brand in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Belgium. This expansion not only reflects our commitment to delivering sustainable results for our members but also supports the success of our dedicated Studio owners worldwide.
