A youth gymnastics and parkour franchise that's only franchised one location since 2024 is already disclosing standout Item 19 financials that punch way above its weight class. With six corporate gyms fueling the model, the FDD hints at massive revenue potential but flags a profitability puzzle right in the margins. Can this high-octane kids' fitness brand scale its buzz into real franchisee wealth, or is the single-unit data masking deeper challenges?
Item 7 lays out the startup costs at $217,000-$467,500, with a $55,000 franchise fee leading the pack; expect buildout and equipment to drive the high end in non-traditional retail spaces suited for high-energy kids' programs. Ongoing fees from Item 6 hit 8% royalties plus 1% brand fund and $500 monthly local marketing, totaling around 9-10% of sales—standard but sticky for a revenue-heavy model. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $1,197,435 and median $1,275,091 across that lone franchisee, projecting profits from $116,837 to $735,619, but the 0% EBITDA margin screams razor-thin operations where expenses devour every dollar of top-line growth.
System health per Item 20 shows modest scale with 1 franchise versus 6 corporates, yet 11 SBA loans averaging $143,045 signal banker buy-in and franchisee financing feasibility. Projected 10 new units reflect aggressive expansion ambitions from San Diego HQ, but zero terminations or transfers in early years offer no red flags—though the tiny sample size demands caution. For investors eyeing kids' fitness, Gforce's revenue firepower tempts, but breakeven risks and unproven multi-unit success mean digging into that single franchisee's full story before committing.
