Longtime Multi-Unit Franchisees to Open Five New Locations in Middle Tennessee

DALLAS, Texas (April 12, 2017) — Gold’s Gym, the world’s trusted authority on health and fitness, announced today Tennessee Fitness LLC has signed a franchise agreement to bring five additional Gold’s Gym locations to Middle Tennessee. Owned by Robert Dennis, Andrew Davis and John Davis, Tennessee Fitness LLC currently owns and operates seven locations throughout the market in Murfreesboro, Henderson, Smyrna, Bellevue and Clarksville. The new locations will be opening throughout five counties in the Middle Tennessee region, including Wilson, Davidson and Williamson counties.

The signing of the Nashville area franchise agreement is a continuation of Gold’s Gym’s aggressive expansion plans, both domestically and internationally. With 18 new locations opened in the first quarter of this year, Gold’s Gym plans to continue its development and expansion in states such as New York, Texas and California, as well as countries including Jordan, Egypt, India, Japan, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. 

“Our franchisee partners are helping to drive the growth of the brand and bring the new Gold’s Gym experience to people around the world. We are thrilled that Andrew, John and Robert are part of these efforts and are excited to expand our brand presence in the Nashville area,” said Brandon Bean, CEO of Gold’s Gym. “As we continue to focus on growth, innovation and delivering a one-of-a-kind member experience, we are proud to have partners like Tennessee Fitness LLC who have a genuine passion for the fitness industry and the Gold’s Gym brand.” 

Brothers Andrew and John Davis had their first Gold’s Gym experience in their home state of Alabama. Impressed by the brand, they decided to look into franchise ownership. At the time, Robert Dennis was working independently for Gold’s Gym as a real estate broker and assisting Andrew and John with finding their first location. Robert had plans to open his own franchise, but recognized his business views aligned with the Davis brothers, and decided to enter into a partnership.

“Since opening our first Gold’s Gym in Murfreesboro in 2009, we have seen tremendous success and wanted to keep that momentum going,” said Andrew Davis, partner of Tennessee Fitness LLC and multi-unit Gold’s Gym franchisee. “The fitness industry is constantly evolving, which is why we’re happy to partner with Gold’s Gym. As one of the most recognizable brands in the world, we have access to the some of the most accomplished experts in the industry and unparalleled franchisee support to ensure the success of our business.
