Fitness Machine Technicians FMT franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Fitness Machine Technicians FMT's 1% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Fitness Machine Technicians FMT franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Fitness Machine Technicians FMT franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $489,562 of revenue, a 1% royalty alone is about $4,896 a year before any other cost.

Fitness Machine Technicians FMT lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Fitness Machine Technicians FMT's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 6 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Fitness Machine Technicians FMT itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Fitness Machine Technicians FMT closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Fitness Machine Technicians FMT will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Fitness Machine Technicians FMT's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a other of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Fitness Machine Technicians FMT's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 2.3%. Net franchised outlets moved +2 to 134 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Fitness Machine Technicians FMT?

Fitness Machine Technicians FMT's franchise is offered by Main Line Brands LLc — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
