FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A Transformations Center for Weight Loss franchise requires a total initial investment of $121K – $247K, including a $40K franchise fee and an ongoing 6.0% royalty[2]. The 2025 FDD on file does not yield a unit-revenue figure we can publish. FranchiseVerdict grade: C (Average), an editorial assessment, not investment advice. Run a live ROI scan →
Limited operating history: franchising since 2025. A system this young has fewer than three years of Item 20 outlet history and rarely enough SBA loans for a charge-off rate, so its grade rests on less evidence than an established system's. Read its Item 20 tables and talk to its first franchisees before relying on the grade. Other new franchisors

Bottom line
- COSTTotal investment $121K – $247K including a $40K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
- RETURNSAn earlier version of this note quoted a dollar figure that APPEARS NOWHERE IN THE FILING - verified in comma, no-comma and period-for-comma form and against a de-punctuated digit stream, across every page. It was our own arithmetic published as the franchisor's disclosure. Item 19 discloses three outlets in one period, so the range is genuine and stays. THE ROW HOLDS TWO DIFFERENT METRICS: the columns carry UNADJUSTED 2024 Gross Revenue (200,329-280,482) while item19_cohorts carries the 'as if a Franchised Outlet' ADJUSTED figures (245,653 / 208,138 / 170,309). The middle unadjusted value, Laurel's $240,572, is absent entirely - and it is the printed figure nearest the fabricated '$240K'.
- RISKVerdict C (Average), verdict score 45/100 (higher is better).
- GROWTHFlat: no net change in franchised outlets in the latest year (0 opened, 0 closed) (Item 20).
- DATAItem 19 reports outlet revenue, but not in a form that yields a per-outlet average we can compare across brands. Ask franchisees directly for full unit-level revenue.

How Transformations Center for Weight Loss Compares
Category median of published Healthcare brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Transformations Center for Weight Loss franchise?
The total investment to open a Transformations Center for Weight Loss franchise ranges from $121K – $247K, with an initial franchise fee of $40K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Transformations Center for Weight Loss franchise owners earn?
Item 19 of the Transformations Center for Weight Loss FDD discloses outlet figures from $200K to $280K but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns Transformations Center for Weight Loss?
Transformations Center for Weight Loss is franchised by Transformations, Franchise, LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the Transformations Center for Weight Loss FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the Transformations Center for Weight Loss FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Transformations Center for Weight Loss's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Transformations Center for Weight Loss (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many Transformations Center for Weight Loss franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Transformations Center for Weight Loss has 4 total units in the United States.
Is Transformations Center for Weight Loss a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Transformations Center for Weight Loss as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 45 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
