Does Crunch Fitness’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
Partly. Besides sales, Crunch Fitness’s Item 19 reports “Average EBITDA, clubs open 12–23 months”, “EBITDA of the median club open 12–23 months” and “Average EBITDA, clubs open 48–59 months”. The FDD says these operating-statement results are for affiliated locations and do not reflect independent franchisee activity. Each figure follows the franchisor’s own definition in Item 19, which decides which costs are deducted and whether an owner’s salary is one of them. None of them is necessarily an owner’s take-home pay.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Crunch Fitness format only; the FDD makes no financial performance representation for Crunch Select. Gross revenue includes membership, personal training and retail. Excluded from the 331 clubs: 5 affiliate clubs, 16 in presale, 81 not open a full year, 31 that changed ownership, 1 that closed in early 2026, and 21 that did not submit financials. The EBITDA figures come from operating statements for 167 clubs open 12 to 59 months; on PDF p. 73 the FDD says 'the performance results included in the operating statements above are for affiliated locations and do not reflect results of independent franchisee activity', so ask the franchisor exactly which clubs they cover.
How to interpret Crunch Fitness’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
Local advertising depends on club age, monthly personal-training sales and a lesser-of/greater-of formula. Annual gross revenue alone cannot supply those inputs. Item 19 also reports revenue by thirds rather than a system-wide average, so no combined fee or ten-year estimate is shown. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected Crunch Fitness disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 111 of 331 franchised Crunch Fitness clubs open all of 2025 that reported financials; 49 (44%) above the average. The FDD reports thirds, not a system-wide average. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.
