RSG Group and Basic-Fit have reached an agreement that RSG Group Spain with its 47 studios will be acquired by Basic-Fit. The sale is expected to be completed and legally binding in the first quarter of 2024. The purchase will include all 42 McFit studios and all 5 Holmes Place clubs in Spain. Basic-Fit intends to rebrand all 47 studios of RSG Group Spain and fully integrate them into its 140 existing clubs in Spain.
“Following our strategic decision to withdraw from the Spanish market, we are very pleased to have found a successor as a buyer who comes from the industry and will take over all of our 47 studios including their employees,” says CEO of RSG Group GmbH, Jobst Müller-Trimbusch. Hagen Wingertszahn, CEO of RSG Group GmbH, adds: “Basic-Fit shares our market approach and our values and has grown strongly over the years to become a serious player in the fitness industry. Our top priority was to ensure that all our studios continue to be run professionally and conscientiously. We are therefore very pleased that we have come to this agreement.”
 
Rafael Lirio Silva, CEO RSG Group Spain remembers: “In 2009, we opened our first McFIT studio in Palma de Mallorca. With a fantastic team, we have grown to 47 studios in 14 years, which we are very proud of. Even though an era is coming to an end with the withdrawal of RSG Group from Spain, I am open to the new beginning under Basic-Fit and am pleased that they have confidence in us and in the growth of the entire industry in Spain.”
