The S30 product is truly one-of-a-kind and we have no doubt that it will be well received by fitness enthusiasts across the country as we begin our rapid national expansion and we can’t wait to launch our first Flagship in June this year” said Mr McLaughlin.

Singapore Expansion

In Singapore, the expansion efforts continue, led by Ben Ng, Darnerl Lim, and Xin Hui. Leveraging their success with F45 and CrossFit ventures to spread the S30 brand across the city-state.

With bold visions for growth, S30 plans to open 250 locations in Asia Pacific over the next seven years. Currently, the group operates 17 studios in Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Singapore, with plans to add six more by mid-year.

“Good people are at the core of any successful business, and I know Harris, Alan and Brendan’s experience is integral to S30 building an amazing team culture ready for an aggressive growth plan. Listening and taking onboard a lot of Alan’s lessons and learnings has been invaluable to me and my development as a young leader,” said Mr Faulkner.

“We have some ambitious targets to expand the S30 experience, but our success to date is proof that there is a strong appetite for our product across markets both locally and internationally. Together with the arrival of Hurrell and Myers, our team is primed for growth and we’re ready for the next chapter of our journey as a leading fitness franchise,” said Mr Faulkner.
