Launched in 2013, StarCycle is a boutique indoor cycling brand known for delivering a full-body workout that both challenges and energizes participants. Based in Oregon, the company has grown its reach by franchising, inviting enthusiastic entrepreneurs to introduce this engaging fitness concept to their local areas.
At the heart of StarCycle’s appeal is its signature 45-minute, rhythm-based ride, held in a candlelit setting. This immersive class helps riders break away from daily distractions and fully embrace their fitness journey. With a strong focus on inclusivity, StarCycle welcomes people of all fitness backgrounds, creating a supportive and uplifting studio environment.
What sets StarCycle apart is its dedication to a screen-free, tech-free experience. By removing digital tracking tools and displays, the brand encourages riders to tune into their own goals and progress, promoting personal empowerment without outside comparisons.
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.
StarCycle provides a well-defined training program to prepare franchisees and their staff for successful studio operations. Here’s a clear breakdown:
StarCycle grants franchisees a specific geographic territory once their studio site is approved, but this territory is not entirely exclusive. While StarCycle agrees not to open another StarCycle Studio using its marks within that territory as long as the franchisee is in good standing, the franchisor retains the right to compete through other channels like online platforms or competitive brands.
The size and shape of the territory depend on market variables, including demographics, household income, and natural or man-made boundaries. Franchisees must operate solely within their assigned territory and cannot market or advertise outside of it without prior written approval from StarCycle.
Additionally, although neighboring territories may overlap, no other StarCycle studio will be approved within a franchisee’s specific territorial boundaries. Importantly, StarCycle reserves all rights not expressly granted in the agreement, meaning they can still license studios outside the designated area regardless of proximity.
