Studio Pilates

Item 7 details the initial investment range of $510,150 to $874,150, including a $50,000 franchise fee, driven by build-out costs for the distinctive studio layouts and equipment. Ongoing fees hit 8% royalty plus 2% brand fund, plus a $1,600-$1,800 monthly technology subscription—higher than many fitness peers' 6-7% royalties. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $888,774 and median $962,519 across existing units, suggesting strong top-line potential in a market targeting health-conscious consumers battling obesity. No profit figures are broken out, but these revenues imply healthy margins if costs are controlled, especially versus category averages often dipping below $700K.

System growth exploded from 5 locations in 2023 to 12 in 2024—a 140% jump—with 19 new units projected, signaling aggressive U.S. expansion from its Australian roots. SBA data shows 14 loans averaging $326,607, low volume but manageable sizes indicating accessible financing without widespread defaults. Low unit count means limited track record, but positive trends in transfers/terminations (per Item 20) and product sales upside bolster appeal. For fitness enthusiasts eyeing ownership, this data supports a calculated bet on Pilates demand, though vet ops manual compliance closely amid the tech fees.
