Anytime Fitness reports a $458,826-$907,607 investment range and 2026 Item 19 quartile data on 1,656 reporting franchised clubs. The honest read on the largest gym franchise in the world.
Brand AnalysisClub Pilates' 2026 FDD shows total investment of $403K to $1.0M, a $65K franchise fee, and an 8% royalty.

Here's the math.
Brand AnalysisClub Pilates' 2026 FDD reports a $969K median across 849 Qualified Studios — but the real story is the unusually tight P25-P75 spread ($814K-$1.14M). Either the system is genuinely consistent, or the 'Qualified' filter is doing heavy lifting.
