GoGym is expanding its affordable, tech-enabled gym model across Southeast Asia, aiming to make fitness accessible to a wider population in rapidly urbanizing countries. By tailoring its approach to each market and leveraging technology, GoGym is positioning itself as a leader in the region’s growing fitness industry and a champion of healthier, more connected communities.
GoGym is looking to eventually expand beyond the Philippines to bring its affordable, tech-enabled gym model to Southeast Asia, aiming to make fitness accessible to more people across the region. With a rapidly urbanizing population and a rising middle class, Southeast Asia is primed for a fitness revolution, and GoGym is prepared to lead the charge.
“Our expansion isn’t just about scaling; it’s about tailoring our model to meet the unique needs of each market,” says Andrew Phillips, Co-Founder and CEO. “We’ve seen the positive impact of our app and our gyms in the Philippines, and now we’re excited to replicate that success across Southeast Asia.”
Seizing the Right Opportunity
As health and wellness awareness grows in Southeast Asia, so does the demand for affordable fitness options. GoGym’s flexible franchise model and tech-driven approach uniquely position it to thrive in this evolving landscape.
“Countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam face challenges similar to those in the Philippines—high-quality gyms are often out of reach for the average person,” explains Andrew. “We aim to bridge that gap by creating fitness hubs that are not only affordable but also welcoming and impactful.”
Technology: The Backbone of Regional Growth
Felicia Perez, Chief Product Officer, underscores the importance of technology in GoGym’s expansion. “Our digital platform is designed to scale effortlessly, ensuring operational efficiency across new markets,” she says. “From membership management to personalized content, our tech ecosystem ensures each GoGym location maintains its unique local flavor while staying true to our brand’s core values.”
Tailoring to Local Markets
A key pillar of GoGym’s expansion strategy is localization. The team is dedicated to understanding the cultural and logistical specifics of each market to deliver a fitness experience that resonates with local communities. By offering region-specific programs and partnering with local suppliers, GoGym ensures it remains relevant and impactful wherever it operates.
Creating a Regional Wellness Network
For GoGym, expansion is about more than just opening new gyms—it’s about creating a network of wellness hubs that inspire healthier lifestyles across Southeast Asia. “We see ourselves as champions of accessible fitness,” says Andrew. “This isn’t just a business opportunity—it’s a chance to unite people, improve lives, and build vibrant communities.”
With its expansion plans set on Southeast Asia, GoGym is poised to become a regional leader in the fitness industry. By staying committed to its values of affordability and accessibility, GoGym is shaping a movement that transcends borders and improves lives across the region.
