SPENGA Rejoins Franchise FastLane's FastLane Program to Fuel Next Phase of Growth

After Two Years and a Strengthened Franchisee Base, the Boutique Fitness Concept Enters Back into the FastLane Program to Accelerate Expansion

OMAHA, Neb., June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With U.S. Fitness industry revenue projected to reach $50 billion by 2030, SPENGA is gearing up for its next chapter of nationwide expansion by rejoining Franchise FastLane's full-service development program. This partnership marks a renewed phase of growth following SPENGA's strategic efforts over the past two years to strengthen operations and support franchisees through FastLane's CarPool program.

About SPENGA:

• SPENGA was founded by six executives, each with at least 20 years of experience in the health industry. While working at a traditional Chicago health club, they saw an opportunity to create a smaller boutique fitness concept that fills a void in the industry and delivers a more efficient and effective workout.
• The brand combines three pillars of fitness: spin, strength, and yoga, into a single 60-minute class designed to maximize results while minimizing strain on the body.

In 2018, SPENGA initially partnered with Franchise FastLane, which helped award more than 250 locations. In 2023, the brand shifted into FastLane's CarPool program to prioritize organic development while strengthening internal systems, enhancing franchisee communication, and refining operational processes. With a reenergized foundation and a leaner, more efficient studio model, the brand is once more prepared for rapid growth.

Over the years, the brand has demonstrated resilience and adaptability, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when SPENGA's leadership team launched a dedicated internal committee to provide consistent support and guidance to franchisees navigating shutdowns.

"Joining SPENGA just before the pandemic was incredibly challenging, but the support I received made all the difference," said Tito Gracia, multi-unit franchisee of SPENGA. "The communication, tools, and willingness to help demonstrated how committed SPENGA is to its owners."

SPENGA re-enters FastLane with meaningful advancements, including:

• Upgraded technology to enhance franchise operations and customer experience.
• Expanded wellness offerings, such as nutrition, supplements, and red-light therapy.
• A new 3,000 square foot studio model designed for cost efficiency and strong unit economics.

"We really consider FastLane a team member at this point," said Roger McGreal, CEO and Co-Founder of SPENGA. "Their guidance has been invaluable, and we wouldn't be in this position without them. With great markets available and a stronger system than ever, we are excited to accelerate growth once again. Our passion for fitness hasn't changed; this next chapter is all about where we are going."

Franchise FastLane is intentional about the brands it adds to its portfolio. Before partnering with any franchise, executives evaluate several criteria, including value proposition, key differentiators, unit economics, and marketplace conditions. With SPENGA, the alignment was clear: proven systems, recurring revenue streams, strong validation, and a leadership team with ample experience in the fitness industry.

"SPENGA has shown tremendous resilience, innovation, and commitment to their owners," said Tim Koch, President & COO of Franchise FastLane. "Its refined model with strong validation from franchise owners, experienced leadership team, and proven approach to boutique fitness make them exactly the type of partner we're proud to support as they scale."
