Home/Fitness Franchises
Fitness Franchise Opportunities
Anyone can list the franchise fee — a number without context. Every fitness brand here shows what each figure is attached to: the investment range, unit count, filing years, and whether it discloses an Item 19. Fitness covers gyms, boutique studios, cycling, strength, and recovery concepts. Where a brand filed in both 2025 and 2026, you can see exactly what changed.
