I LOVE KICKBOXING Franchise Analysis

Punchy group kickboxing classes draw crowds craving intense, full-body workouts without the solo grind of traditional gyms. I Love Kickboxing stands out with its proprietary systems and dual formats—standalone powerhouses or lightweight add-ons to existing spaces. Yet Item 20 paints a ring rattled by closures and disputes; can this brand rebound from recent body blows?

Financial entry demands $111,049-$383,700 upfront, spanning build-out for standard centers (needing 11 weekly classes) or lighter setups (3 classes/week). Franchise fee hits $24,900, followed by 6% royalties (minimum $750/month), 2% brand fund ($300/month min), $199/month tech fee, and $126-$240/month insurance. No Item 19 earnings disclosure leaves profitability opaque—buyers must dig elsewhere for real-world revenue, especially since fees guarantee steady franchisor cash even in slim months.

System shrank dramatically: 52 locations in 2023 to 30 in 2024 (-42% growth), with 13 terminations, 1 non-renewal, and 1 transfer signaling owner exits. Litigation shadows linger from franchisee suits against predecessors over fraud, breach, and sales act violations. For buyers eyeing fitness, this contraction amid a booming niche questions scalability—scrutinize recent FDD updates and local market saturation before committing.

Analysis based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. All figures should be independently verified before making investment decisions.
