David ‘Patch’ Patchell-Evans Acquires Majority Ownership of Regymen Fitness
The fitness entrepreneur has acquired a majority stake in the high-intensity group fitness studio franchise
Fitness entrepreneur David “Patch” Patchell-Evans has acquired a majority stake in Regymen, the high-intensity group fitness studio franchise. Over the past five years, GoodLife Fitness has integrated Regymen Fitness studios into 12 of its locations in Canada, demonstrating the success of the boutique studio’s model within the larger fitness facilities. This partnership has now evolved into full-fledged ownership, as Patch expands his role within Regymen, positioning it for rapid growth.
“Patch’s involvement in Regymen is a game changer,” said Leah Seacrest, Vice President of Franchising at Regymen Fitness. “He is one of the top leaders in the fitness industry and brings an entirely new set of skills and resources to help us continue to grow the brand.”
Patch has experience in scaling fitness franchises, notably supporting the expansion of Oxygen Yoga & Fitness to more than 130 locations across North America. His vision for Regymen includes a similar turnkey franchise system to attract new investors and operators.
“The franchise model is turn-key and is supported by a strong team of industry professionals that are focused on helping franchisees grow their business both here in the U.S. and internationally,” said Patch. “A Regymen franchise costs less to build than comparable models, and it is a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurs looking for a solid investment opportunity. I’m very happy to share that Regymen is open for business.”
Regymen Fitness is known for its dynamic, science-backed workout programs. The brand’s two signature workouts, Burn and Build, provide high-energy, structured training sessions that cater to different fitness levels.
Currently, Regymen operates 23 studios, including six franchises, one corporate store, four licensed stores, and 12 integrated within GoodLife Fitness locations. Each Regymen unit operates in a 2,500-square-foot standalone space or as an integrated studio within existing fitness clubs, utilizing 1,500 to 2,000 square feet.
