Brand Analysis
Jazzercise's 2026 FDD discloses a $2,170 total investment — roughly 1/200th the cost of Club Pilates or Orangetheory. The price gap is not a discount. It's a description of two different business models that share the word 'fitness'.
Brand Analysis
Recent FDD reporting puts a Restore Hyper Wellness franchise at $777K-$1.32M all-in with a 7.5% royalty. The catch: unit profitability rides on membership dues, not one-off cryo and IV visits.
Perfect Skating requires a $20,000 initial franchise fee and a total initial investment range of $53,940–$197,740, per the most recent FDD on file.
Perfect Skating is franchised by Perfect Skating Franchising U.S. Inc., 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. Perfect Skating 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.
