All Seas Capital, a pan-European private capital fund that
provides transformational capital solutions to leading founder- and
entrepreneur-owned companies, is pleased to announce a significant
minority investment in Synergym, a fast-growing and leading gym
chain in Spain. The investment will accelerate Synergym’s expansion
and rollout across the country.
Synergym has quickly established itself as one of the main gym
operators in Spain, with over 200,000 active users across its 96
clubs. Its business model emphasizes low and flexible prices,
high-quality club design with specialized fitness areas,
top-of-the-line high-tech equipment, highly qualified staff and a
wide range of quality guided classes.
Due to its measured and systematic rollout model, Synergym has
grown rapidly without any site closures and each gym achieving
rapid profitability, supported by strong customer sign-ups prior to
site launch. All Seas Capital’s investment will fuel Synergym’s
ambitious expansion plans across Spain, with an ample pipeline of
sites ready to develop.
Founded in 2013 by experienced entrepreneurs Dr. Sergey Miteyko
and Leonard Lvovich, Synergym is led by Managing Director Jordi
Bella and a highly capable management team ready to execute its
expansion strategy. Sergey and Leonard will retain their full
equity positions, demonstrating their strong commitment to the
business. All Seas Capital will leverage its team’s extensive
experience in supporting businesses with a proven track record and
clear vision for the future to help Synergym achieve its growth
ambitions. All Seas Capital’s Partner Joe Petrusic will join the
Synergym board of directors, which also includes representatives of
Synergym´s current investors Oxy Capital and Growth Partner.

said:
“We are thrilled to have All Seas Capital join the Synergym team
and back our exciting growth plans. We have quickly established
Synergym as one of the largest chains of fitness gyms in Spain
through a prudent rollout plan that ensures that each and every
site achieves fast profitability and high cash flow generation.
This is fundamental to our success and gives us great confidence in
our expansion strategy. With additional capital and All Seas’ fresh
perspective and expertise, we are excited at what we can achieve
together!”
Joe Petrusic, Partner at All Seas Capital, commented:
“The Synergym team has built an impressive and highly profitable
business in an underpenetrated market, which is underpinned by an
increasing consumer desire for healthier lifestyles. With a very
capable management team in place and a proven rollout model, our
capital and expertise will act as a catalyst for further
growth.”
Marc Ciancimino and Cristobal Cuart, Co-Founders of All Seas
Capital, commented:
“We are delighted to be making our first investment in Spain,
and our eighth from All Seas Capital’s maiden fund which closed
just last year. As an established business of some scale and with a
clear growth strategy, Synergym is an ideal business for us to back
and we are thrilled that they chose to partner with us. All Seas
Capital’s flexible, non-control capital aligns perfectly with
Synergym’s ambitious plans and we’re already hard at work
supporting management to execute on their ambitious growth
plans.”
