Since 2012, Exaltare has partnered with entrepreneur and family-owned businesses in the franchise and consumer sectors.

Planet Fitness

ECP PF

Planet Fitness

ECP PF is one of the largest franchisees of Planet Fitness, the leading health-club chain in North America.

Strategy

As the first institutional capital in the system, Exaltare accelerated the consolidation of a fragmented franchisee base through strategic acquisitions and new club development.

Management

Exaltare led the company as the interim management team for two and a half years after closing. As the business scaled, we elevated the next generation of management to leadership and supplemented the leadership team with additions, including David Humphrey, the former CEO of Massage Envy.

Operations

We professionalized the business and added standard processes, metrics, and incentives to drive repeatable behavior and reinforce cultural change.

Outcome

Before executing a successful exit in 2021, Exaltare grew club count from 15 to over 100 and expanded the footprint from a single market to seven geographies, which led ECP-PF to become one of the leading franchisees of Planet Fitness.

 Starting your business and growing it for 23 years left me wondering what is next. After getting to know the Exaltare team, I liked their approach and consistent track record of growing their investments, which gave me comfort that my company would be in good hands. In the year following the transaction, they have set up the company for rapid growth, and I am excited to watch the company and my employees grow in the coming years!
