Bottom line

  • Total investment $241K – $426K including a $55K franchise fee, 7.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 56/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 95 loans (below the industry average).
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

56
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE56 / 100

My Gym presents elevated risk due to missing critical financial disclosures (Item 19), unclear franchisor financial health (going concern), stagnant unit growth, and a capital-intensive model with no transparent profitability data.

Score breakdown · what drove the 56 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDNo Item 19 (Average Unit Volume) disclosed — impossible to assess ROI or payback period on $240k-$426k investment
  2. 02HIGHGoing Concern indicator is FALSE — suggests potential financial instability or unclear viability of franchisor
  3. 03MINORUnit count stagnant at 166 with unknown/likely flat growth — no expansion momentum in children's fitness sector
  4. 04MED7% royalty on gross revenue (not net) combined with undisclosed profitability creates unpredictable unit economics
  5. 05MEDHigh initial investment ($55k franchise fee + $240k-$426k total) with no disclosed average revenue benchmarks to justify ROI
