Best gym & fitness franchises by the FDD numbers
The 15 gym & fitness franchises that clear both bars a buyer should demand: they disclose Item 19 earnings, and their franchised-outlet closure rate beats the category median (FDD Item 20). Ranked by closure rate — lowest first. Every figure is read from the brand's most recent FDD — not marketing copy.
