AMAZING ATHLETES

Item 7 in the 2026 FDD outlines a relatively accessible entry with total investment ranging $74,550 to $100,550, led by a $49,500 franchise fee. Ongoing costs include an 8% royalty, 1% brand fund, plus fixed $200 monthly technology fee and $50-$200 for software/bookkeeping—elevated compared to many fitness franchises under 7% royalties. Item 19 shines here, reporting average gross revenue of $186,386 across units, suggesting solid top-line performance for operators in exclusive territories delivering classes to kids 18 months to 12 years. At these figures, after fees, a lean operation could yield decent owner benefits, especially with low overhead from venue-based classes rather than owning facilities.

The system shows healthy momentum: 153 locations in 2024 to 170 in 2025 (+11% growth), with 169 total franchises, just 2 corporate, and only 5 terminations signaling stability. Projections call for 10 new units, aligning with demand for enrichment programs. However, SBA data warrants caution—only 4 loans averaging $398,250, but a 25% default rate towers over the 10-15% norm for recreation franchises, implying higher failure risk for financed owners. This combo of revenue disclosure, growth, and SBA flags positions Amazing Athletes as promising for hands-on educators with $75K-$100K cash, but debt-averse investors might pause amid those defaults.
