Planet Fitness members can continue to expect the same high-value and Judgement Free experience with best-in-class strength and cardio equipment and free fitness training included in all memberships, and more.

“We are thrilled to grow our footprint in the Pacific Northwest with this acquisition,” said Philip Amato, Chief Operating Officer for Easy Mile Fitness. “This acquisition fits with our internal goals and will help us execute our vision of continuing to be a top franchise partner and bring a high-value experience to more communities.”

With this acquisition, Easy Mile Fitness now owns and operates 70 locations across seven territories including Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, South Carolina, Puerto Rico and Ontario, Canada.

“We started Bravo Fit in 2012 with a single Planet Fitness club in Salem, Oregon,” said Tanner Halton, Co-CEO of Bravo Fit. “Our vision was to bring excellent and affordable fitness to Oregonians. Thirteen years later, we achieved this vision beyond our wildest dreams. We owe this success to a team that has believed in our vision, including the many team members who grew with us personally and professionally along the way.” Dan Afrasiabi, Co-CEO added “We could not be prouder of our Bravo Fit team for creating a culture dedicated to delivering confidence and competence. Today, we put our Oregon and Alaska operations in the good hands of Easy Mile Fitness, so we can continue our mission with our rapidly growing Planet Fitness reach throughout Australia.”

Easy Mile Fitness had financing provided by Fifth Third Bank. “Fifth Third has led over 40 financing transactions for Planet Fitness franchisees over the last decade and supporting Easy Mile Fitness in this transformative acquisition is one of our proudest executions. We are grateful for the trust Philip, Peter, and the Easy Mile Fitness team had in us to serve as Left Lead Arranger & Administrative Agent on their credit facilities and we look forward to supporting their vision as they embark on their next chapter of growth,” said Jeff Poe, Head of Franchise Finance at Fifth Third Bank.

Additionally, Easy Mile Fitness had legal counsel from Downs Rachlin Martin, tax advisory services from Baker Tilly US LLP, and insurance diligence performed by Lockton. Seller received financial advisory services from Intrepid Investment Bankers, the middle-market advisory arm of global financial group MUFG, and legal counsel from Landye Bennett Blumstein LLP. Easy Mile Fitness will assume day-to-day operations of the club effective immediately.
