Since bursting onto the franchising scene in 2019, ISI Elite Training has scaled a network of high-intensity fitness studios targeting athletes in everyday strip centers. But a murky bankruptcy history and lawsuits alleging broken promises on costs and support hint at turbulence beneath the growth. Dive into the SBA financing stats and expansion forecasts—what do they signal for would-be owners chasing this fitness wave?
Franchising for just six years out of Charlotte, NC, ISI Elite Training expanded from 38 to 44 locations in 2024—a solid 16% growth—with 17 new units projected and only one corporate-owned site. System health shows 2 terminations and 8 transfers in the latest FDD (2025), alongside litigation where a former franchisee claimed fraudulent inducement, misrepresentations on investment, profitability, and support under South Carolina law. No Item 19 disclosure means no FDD-backed revenue or earnings data, forcing franchisees to rely on unverified claims amid this opaque financial picture.
Financials demand scrutiny: $60,000 franchise fee, total investment $266,000-$645,000, 7% royalty, 2% brand fund, plus $750/month technology fee. SBA records shine with 47 loans averaging $287,979 and a low 4.3% default rate, indicating franchisees secure funding and mostly repay. Yet the bankruptcy history, legal baggage, and absent Item 19 scream red flags—rapid growth looks exciting, but without proven unit economics or cleaner operations data, this feels riskier than established fitness peers for your capital.
