Brand Analysis
The 2026 FDD prices an Anytime Fitness franchise at $539,329 to $905,482 and charges a flat $842 monthly royalty, not a percentage. Every Item 7 line item, the four revenue quartiles, and the fee clause most cost pages have never read.
Brand Analysis
Club Pilates' 2026 FDD shows total investment of $403K to $1.0M, a $65K franchise fee, and an 8% royalty. As the largest reformer-Pilates franchise system in the U.S., the brand has proven unit economics — and is also subject to the Xponential parent-company risk that affects every Xponential brand. Here's the math.
Brand Analysis
Crunch Fitness' 2026 FDD shows an investment range of $2.15M to $5.37M, a low-tier $35K franchise fee, and a 5% royalty. The wide range reflects two very different gym formats — Standard and Signature. Here's how to read the math and which buyer profile fits.
Osteostrong requires a $35,000 initial franchise fee and a total initial investment range of $275,682–$615,740, per the most recent FDD on file.
Osteostrong franchises are sold by OsteoStrong Franchising, Inc., the franchisor entity of record on its Franchise Disclosure Document. Item 1 of the FDD discloses the corporate structure, including any parent companies and predecessors.
No. Osteostrong does not include a financial performance representation in its FDD. Prospective buyers should rely on validation calls with existing franchisees and benchmark against industry medians.
Franchisees pay a royalty of 7% of Gross Revenues and an advertising fund contribution of 1% of Gross Revenues on gross sales as defined in Item 6 of the FDD.
As of their 2026 FDD, Osteostrong has 165 total locations, with 15 new locations opened in the most recent reporting year. This information comes from Item 20 of the FDD.
Yes. Osteostrong grants franchisees an exclusive territory under Item 12 of the FDD. Note that exclusive territories often carve out online sales, alternative distribution channels, and non-traditional venues — review the full Item 12 language before signing.
Per the FDD, Osteostrong discloses an initial agreement term of 10 years. Review Items 10 and 17 for the full renewal and termination provisions.
