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.
Arctic Elevation is franchised by Arctic Franchising LLC, the franchisor entity of record on its Franchise Disclosure Document. Item 1 of the FDD discloses the franchisor's corporate history, parents, and predecessors.
No. Arctic Elevation 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.
No. Arctic Elevation does not grant exclusive territory rights under Item 12. The franchisor retains the right to operate or grant additional units inside or adjacent to your trade area.
Per the FDD, Arctic Elevation discloses a renewal fee of $0, a transfer fee of $15,000. Review Items 10 and 17 for the full renewal and termination provisions.
