Steve King - “The Ohana Story”
Oct 29, 2025
Hear more from our President & CEO, Steve King, as he shares the story of Ohana and how being partnered with Alaris has brought tremendous value to their business.
One of our longest-standing partners, Ohana —which fittingly means “family” in Hawaiian—has truly embodied what partnership means to us at Alaris. As one of the largest franchisees of Planet Fitness gyms in the U.S., Ohana has grown alongside us in remarkable ways. Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of helping them expand from 30 locations to more than 80, with no signs of slowing down in multiple states and regions. We are proud to congratulate the Ohana Growth Partners on their most recent acquisition of 10 additional fitness locations, further strengthening their impressive presence across the Planet Fitness network.
What makes this relationship so special is not only the scale of the growth but also the family-like trust that has defined it. With the flexibility of our investment model, and by bringing in a like-minded third party, we’ve been able to achieve something unique: for the first time, we are the controlling shareholder in Ohana. That milestone would never have been possible without the deep confidence they place in the Alaris family.
We’re proud of the success we’ve accomplished together and even more excited for the future. With this foundation of trust, shared vision, and true partnership, we look forward to continuing to grow side by side for many years to come.
