Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Prior to the Studio's opening, the franchisee (or their Operating Partner), the Designated Manager, and the Studio’s lead trainer are required to attend and successfully complete the initial training program. This training must be completed no later than four weeks before the Studio's opening date.
The training program is typically conducted at a certified Franchisee Training Studio, the Colorado Support Center, or another location chosen by the franchisor. Additionally, the franchisor may offer the option to complete the training virtually.
Training Program Content
The training program encompasses various critical topics essential for operating the Studio effectively. The program includes:
The franchise offers territory protection within a designated "Protected Area," ensuring that no other franchisee will operate a Studio within this specific zone. This protection aims to provide franchisees with a secure market, reducing direct competition from within the same franchise network.
However, it's important to note that franchisees may still face competition from other fitness businesses and brands operating outside the protected area.
Additionally, competition may arise from various channels such as online fitness programs and alternative training methods. Despite the territorial protection, franchisees need to remain vigilant and proactive in maintaining a competitive edge in the broader market.
