Buy a F45 Training Franchise

F45 Training is a boutique fitness franchise offering 45-minute functional group workouts. Founded in Sydney in 2013 and now headquartered in Austin, Texas, the brand blends interval training, strength circuits and cardio into a team-based studio format for all fitness levels. F45 began franchising in 2014 and has grown to approximately 1,580 studios across more than 60 countries, with around 1,000 locations in North America.

Studios run on a proprietary content library of more than 6,000 exercises, delivered centrally and displayed on in-studio screens with timer-driven circuits. Franchisees don’t design programming; new workouts are pushed from headquarters and updated continuously. In 2024, F45 introduced Recovery by F45, adding infrared saunas, cold plunges and Hyperice percussion therapy as a supplementary wellness and revenue stream.

F45 Training operates under FIT House of Brands, a wellness platform launched in 2025 that also includes FS8 and VAURA Pilates. The membership model produces subscription-based recurring revenue, with studios supplementing income through merchandise and recovery services. The brand’s premium pricing targets health-focused consumers who value structured, community-driven training.

F45 Training – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New F45 franchisees attend an 8-day training seminar at Austin headquarters covering 40 hours of operations study, shadow training and live classes. Ongoing support comes from regionally based performance managers. Coaches receive continuous development via the F45 Training TV mobile app, which delivers on-demand Exercise Science and Movement Mechanics education. The central content team pushes updated workout programming to studios continuously. Buyers of an existing F45 studio should confirm with the franchisor what transfer training and system access are provided to incoming ownership.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The ideal F45 franchisee is community-oriented and comfortable as a visible local presence; member culture and retention depend heavily on the owner's engagement with coaches and members. Fitness experience is not required, but a hands-on operating style matters, particularly in managing a team of coaches. The role is sales-oriented in the early stages, with strong emphasis on local marketing and membership conversion. Owners who thrive here tend to be disciplined operators with a genuine interest in wellness and the interpersonal skills to sustain a loyal local membership base.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    F45 Training has earned recognition across the fitness and franchise industries. The brand ranked #42 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 in 2022 as the top boutique fitness franchise in that listing, then advanced to #29 in 2023. Men's Health named F45 its "Best Circuit Workout" in 2024. The 2020 Global Fitness Awards recognized F45 as Best Boutique Fitness Franchise. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific studio's local reputation, member community strength and coaching staff continuity.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US health and fitness club market was valued at approximately $45.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 5.2% CAGR through 2035 (Custom Market Insights). Boutique studio formats, including HIIT and functional training, are among the sector's faster-growing segments as consumers shift toward community-focused, results-oriented concepts over large-box gyms. A record 77 million Americans held gym or studio memberships in 2024 (Health & Fitness Association). For resale buyers, local demographics and proximity to competing boutique studios are key factors in assessing a unit's membership potential.
