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.
