Fitness franchises — frequently asked

What is the best gym & fitness franchise?

"Best" is a claim the FDD numbers have to back: we rank gym & fitness brands that disclose Item 19 earnings AND beat the category's median closure rate.

How much does a gym & fitness franchise cost?

The median total initial investment across the 188 gym & fitness franchises we track is $498,093 (FDD Item 7); individual brands range widely — the table on this page shows each one. The lowest-cost brands are ranked in Cheapest gym & fitness franchises to open.

Which gym & fitness franchises disclose earnings?

119 of 188 gym & fitness franchises (63%) make an Item 19 financial performance representation in their most recent FDD — franchisor-disclosed unit earnings, not estimates. See Gym & fitness franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.

Featured gym & fitness franchise — placement open

One sponsored slot per category, and it's data-gated: a brand must disclose Item 19 earnings and beat the category's median closure rate to hold it. Sponsorship is always labeled and never changes a ranking, a risk read, or a report — the data on this site is not for sale. Franchisor inquiries: ryan@franchisefactsreport.com.

This report compiles and structures publicly filed Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) data from state franchise registrations. It is not legal, financial, or investment advice, is not affiliated with or endorsed by any franchisor, and does not replace reading the full FDD or consulting a franchise attorney or accountant. All figures are as disclosed by the franchisor in its most recent registered FDD. Item 19 financial performance representations are made at the franchisor’s option and may be absent or limited.
