Fitness Franchise Costs
Of the 11 published fitness brands here, 7 have an Item 7 investment range without a source-review hold. Their median low-end investment is $539,329 and median high-end estimate is $1,029,811. Jazzercise has the lowest recorded minimum in that group at $4,730; Planet Fitness has the highest recorded upper estimate at $5,386,000. These are the selected formats in each record, not quotes for a particular site.
Leaving out the 4 records on source-review hold, 7 remain to compare. Anytime Fitness, Crunch Fitness and Planet Fitness report a profit-type figure in Item 19 (for Anytime Fitness and Planet Fitness, company-owned units only). 3 of the 7 report sales without a profit figure. Jazzercise makes no Item 19 representation. Where Item 6 states one flat royalty rate, it runs from 5% (Crunch Fitness) to 20% (Jazzercise), each on the brand's own definition of sales; 1 record states a range, a fixed amount or several rates instead. A printed investment range does not clear a source-review hold concerning another FDD section; the linked brand record identifies the unresolved issue. 4 records are provisional, and 7 have a source-check date without a later hold. The latest source or record date in the collection is November 2026.
