Bft Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
In this Part A-2, we sorted the 29 Qualified Studios, ranked (highest to lowest) by the amount of average Monthly Active Members reported by the Qualified Studios for the Measurement Period, into four (4) quartiles, with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Quartiles each comprising 7 Qualified Studios and the 4th Quartile comprising 8 Qualified Studios. "Monthly Active Members" means Studio members who were party to an effective studio membership agreement with a Qualified Studio for a particular calendar month.
We calculated the average Monthly Active Members as follows: (a) we totaled the number of Monthly Active Members for each calendar month during the Measurement Period for each Qualified Studio; then (b) we calculated a simple average of the Monthly Active Members for the entire Measurement Period to determine the average Monthly Active Members during the Measurement Period for each such Qualified Studio; then (c) we calculated a simple average of all such Qualified Studios' average Monthly Active Members to determine the average Monthly Active Members for all 29 Qualified Studios noted above. We also show the range and median of Monthly Active Members for all 29 Qualified Studios.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 19 Part A-2 discusses Monthly Active Members of Qualified Studios. The document states that the financial performance representations include data from 29 'Qualified Studios'.
Bft calculated the average Monthly Active Members by totaling the number of Monthly Active Members for each calendar month during the Measurement Period for each Qualified Studio. Then, they calculated a simple average of the Monthly Active Members for the entire Measurement Period to determine the average Monthly Active Members during the Measurement Period for each such Qualified Studio. Finally, they calculated a simple average of all such Qualified Studios' average Monthly Active Members to determine the average Monthly Active Members for all 29 Qualified Studios.
While the document explains how average Monthly Active Members are calculated, it does not provide the median number of Monthly Active Members across all 29 Qualified Bft studios. The FDD states that this information is shown, but the actual median figure is not present in the provided excerpts. A prospective franchisee should ask Bft for this specific median value to better understand typical membership levels.
