Franchise Summary

Description

Company Background
Fitness 19 is the leading fitness club in the United States. The company offers a wide range of memberships to suit any budget, from low-cost options for people on tight budgets to high-end programs for those who want access to exclusive amenities and top instructors. Fitness 19 has gyms all over the United States with locations in California, Illinois, Florida, Maryland, Texas and more.
Franchise Opportunity
The fitness industry is incredibly saturated, and it's hard to know which club is the right fit for you. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming trying to decide which fitness club is best for you. You want a club that fits your needs and provides you with the best possible experience. Fitness19(R) offers all of the amenities you need to reach your fitness goals, including personal training, group classes, and a variety of exercise equipment. We have locations nationwide, so there's likely one near you. Plus, we offer a free trial membership so you can try us before you buy us.
Corporate Structure
The franchise offered is the right to develop, own and operate a health and fitness club under the name and mark 'Fitness 19' at a specific location.
Investment and Franchisee Fees
The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Fitness 19-branded fitness club ranges from $724,190 to $1,941,100. This includes $16,500 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliates. If, at your request, you and we enter into an Area Development Agreement under which you would agree to acquire franchises to develop multiple Fitness 19-branded fitness clubs, the total investment necessary under the Area Development Agreement is $10,000 multiplied by the number of franchises you agree to acquire. For our typical 2-unit development commitment, the investment would be $20,000, all of which is paid to the franchisor. We apply this amount, in $10,000 increments, as a credit against the initial franchise fee that is due as you sign franchise agreements until the aggregate amount of those credits equals the development fee.
