What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the median number of active members in new Bft studios during Month 3 was 128. This data is based on the performance of new studios that opened in 2024. The FDD defines "Active Members" as studio members who have an effective membership agreement at the end of the calendar month. Month 3 refers to the third calendar month after the studio's soft opening.
This information is valuable for prospective franchisees as it provides an indication of the typical membership growth in the initial months of operation. The median represents the middle value in the data set, offering a more balanced view compared to the average, which can be skewed by outliers.
It's important to note that the number of active members can vary significantly between studios, as indicated by the range. The range of active members in Month 3 is not specified in this table, but is available in the FDD. Factors such as location, marketing efforts, and the quality of services can influence membership numbers. Prospective franchisees should consider these factors and develop a comprehensive business plan to achieve their desired membership levels.
Bft also provides the average number of active members, which was 135 during Month 3. Comparing the average and median can give further insight into the distribution of active members across different studios. A prospective franchisee can use this information to project potential revenue and manage operational costs during the early stages of their Bft studio.
