Risk & Legal
OHM Fitness is an early-stage, hypergrowth franchise system with opaque unit economics and no disclosed financial performance data, making ROI assessment impossible.
Score breakdown · what drove the 44 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure (average revenue and net income not disclosed) — cannot validate unit economics or ROI
- 02MINORExtreme unit growth of 650% YoY with only 17 total units suggests very early stage franchise system with unproven unit stability and replicability
- 03MEDHigh initial investment range ($378.5K–$890K) relative to undisclosed profitability creates uncertainty about payback period and break-even timeline
- 04MINOR6% royalty on gross revenues (not net) is standard but compounds risk when average unit economics are unknown
- 05MINOR17-unit system is below critical mass for franchise stability; high failure rate risk in early-stage systems
