The Yard gym
The Yard Gym franchises operate boutique strength and conditioning fitness studios specializing in functional strength, conditioning, and anaerobic group classes delivered via pre-recorded 50-minute sessions (RIG, TURF, PAY DAY) using proprietary pro-level equipment, with on-floor coaching for form and progression. Studios feature a minimalist, high-energy design in 2,000-4,400 sq ft spaces, sell branded merchandise, and follow standardized operations including class scheduling, marketing, and software. Targeting all fitness levels and age groups, the business model involves selling franchises (including conversions), equipment packages, initial fees, ongoing royalties, marketing fees, and leveraging a global network for brand strength.
