Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Clubs is the only national slimming organisation in the UK to offer both dietary advice and exercise in the same class, taught by professionally qualified instructors. Established in 1993, over 170 franchisees currently run around 2,000 classes each week for their 80,000 members. We offer franchisees a great deal of support and we are proud to have won the bfa’s Franchisor of the Year Award for the second time in 2005!


If you are committed to a healthy lifestyle, we would like to hear from you. A love of exercise is essential and you may have conquered a weight problem in the past.


Full training as an exercise-to-music instructor is given to those not already qualified and all franchisees complete the Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Clubs’ Certificate in Applied Nutrition and Weight Management, a qualification accredited by University College Chester, University of Liverpool.

According to a report from the British Sandwich Association, the SUBWAY® chain hit the no.1 spot in the UK for sandwich sales in May 2008 – with nearly double the sales of its nearest competitor. The chain was named the no.1 global franchise opportunity by Entrepreneur magazine in its 2009 Annual Franchise 500 Ranking – the sixteenth time it has received this honour. The concept is to keep franchisee investment low, the operation simple and offer customers fresh, great tasting food.
