Western Wellness New Zealand

Bring yoga, Pilates, fitness and wellbeing to your community with Western Wellness. Operate a boutique studio or develop a North or South Island network as a master franchisee, supported by approximately 15 years of Australian studio experience, teacher education and community building.

Founded by Stuart and Danielle Harrison, Western Wellness combines a community-focused wellness offering with comprehensive centralised business operations, services and systems.

Four businesses in one

Your boutique studio: Generate revenue through yoga, Pilates and fitness memberships, studio passes and specialist classes.

Your training business: Access Western Wellness Institute of Training programs, with opportunities to distribute teacher training and wellbeing education. Selected flagship territories also provide training delivery rights.

Wellbeing retreats and events: Extend your offering through approved retreats, workshops and wellbeing experiences.

Workplace wellness: Develop corporate wellbeing opportunities through Western Wellness programs and shared delivery resources.

These complementary activities provide several routes to revenue and reduce reliance on memberships alone.

Your business. Our systems. Your choice.

Western Wellness provides a comprehensive centralised operations and support structure, giving Studio Partners a choice about how involved they want to be.

Run your studio with HQ behind you. Manage local operations yourself, or outsource back-end functions so you can concentrate on teaching, service delivery and customer relationships. HQ can manage customer service calls, email enquiries, database marketing, social media and the full digital marketing suite.

Choose a fully managed studio. Outsource day-to-day operations and service delivery to HQ, including staffing, timetabling, phones, customer service and digital marketing. This pathway allows you to own a studio while continuing your existing career, subject to agreed local management arrangements.

From administration to team coordination and marketing, Western Wellness manages the operational complexity so you can choose the ownership model that suits you.

Lower investment. Low operating overheads.

The maximum all-in Studio Partner investment is $250,000, approximately 50% less capital than selected comparable systems outlined in the prospectus. Currency and the local establishment budget are confirmed during enquiry.

Smaller premises, lighter equipment requirements and shared resources support low operating overheads. Lower establishment costs and diversified revenue can help reduce financial exposure and support a faster return on investment, depending on trading performance and your chosen management arrangements.

Master franchises: develop New Zealand

Explore North and South Island master territories, recruiting and supporting Studio Partners with potential revenue from studio franchise sales, ongoing network royalties and training programs.

Master rights are offered within an investment framework of up to $395,000, subject to the agreed territory package, currency and commercial terms, with development funding additional.

Across a New Zealand rollout at the scale assumed in the model, projections indicate $1.6 million or more in cumulative gross studio franchise sales, plus circa $500,000 in annual master franchise revenue. These figures relate to the modelled rollout, not automatically to each island separately. They are projections before expenses and tax, not guaranteed returns or net profit.

We seek service-focused Studio Partners and master partners ready to lead network development, supported by training, launch planning and ongoing coaching.
