NorthEdge-backed Total Fitness acquires Pro-Fit

The two companies have been in partnership for five years, with Pro-Fit using Total Fitness premises to offer its services.

Total Fitness first gained private equity backing in 2004, when Legal & General Ventures acquired the company from Anglo International Corporation for around £80m.

NorthEdge invested £11.5m for a majority stake in the company in 2015, using its debut fund, which closed on £225m in 2013. The fund was 95% deployed as of December 2018.

The deal follows the sale of Fitness World by FSN Capital to Pure Gym. 

Company
Headquartered in Manchester and founded in 2003, Pro-Fit employs 150 personal trainers. The company offers personal training services, which can take place in partner gyms.
