What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the minimum number of active members reported for a new Bft studio in Month 5 was 57. This data is derived from a set of New Studios, which are defined as those owned and operated by a franchisee that had its soft opening in 2024, excluding studios at non-traditional sites. Month 5 refers to the fifth calendar month after the studio's soft opening. Active Members are defined as studio members who have an effective studio membership agreement at the end of that calendar month.
The data represents the range of active members across a sample of 12 New Studios during Month 5. The average number of active members for these studios in Month 5 was 136, with a median of 142. The range indicates the lowest and highest number of active members among the studios in the sample. It is important to note that only 5 out of the 12 New Studios (42%) met or exceeded the average of 136 active members in Month 5.
For a prospective Bft franchisee, this information provides insight into the potential membership levels during the initial months of operation. The range highlights the variability in performance, suggesting that factors such as location, marketing efforts, and operational efficiency can significantly impact membership numbers. While the average and median figures offer a benchmark, the minimum number of 57 active members represents a lower bound that franchisees should be prepared for.
It is important to consider that this data is based on historical performance and may not be indicative of future results. The FDD includes a disclaimer stating that individual results may vary and there is no assurance of earning as much as the studios in the sample. Prospective franchisees should conduct their own due diligence and consider various factors, including local market conditions and competition, to assess the potential for their Bft studio.
