What the Club Pilates numbers mean next to the rest of the benchmark

This section places the stored $385,048 to $839,058 range against the other 54 brand groups. The medians, ranks, ratios, and nearest peers are Inkvex arithmetic, not franchisor disclosures. The corpus mixes 2024 through 2026 records, multiple formats, and different real-estate treatments, so use it for directional comparison and verify the underlying rows before making a decision.

Against Fitness

Across the 6 Fitness format rows in this benchmark, the median low is $492,314 and the median high is $881,591. Club Pilates opens 22% below that median low, a gap of $107,266, and tops out 5% below the median high, a gap of $42,533. 67% of Fitness formats here exclude real estate from the headline total, so check the real-estate handling before setting two brands in this category side by side.

Against all 55 brands

Club Pilates ranks 21st of 55 by high-end total, its $839,058 high end running 30% above the $644,000 corpus median high, and its $385,048 low end 40% above the $275,500 corpus median low. The brands sitting closest to Club Pilates on high-end total are F45 Training at $857,700 in Fitness, Firehouse Subs at $875,950 in Food/QSR and European Wax Center at $776,950 in Beauty, which is the company Club Pilates actually keeps on cost regardless of what industry it is sorted into.

The spread between low and high

Club Pilates discloses a high end 2.2 times its low end, against a median of 2.1 times across these 55 brands. At 2.2 times, the ratio sits between the quartiles of this benchmark. That placement describes only the width of the stored range. The gap between the two ends is $454,010, and nothing in Item 7 tells a buyer where inside that gap their own build lands.

What financing review still requires

This page does not calculate the cash a buyer needs and does not predict lender approval. SBA currently lists a $5,000,000 maximum for a single 7(a) loan, but eligibility, loan amount, documents, and terms depend on the borrower, lender, project, and transaction. The currently effective SBA SOP 50 10, Version 8 contains transaction-specific equity rules; Version 8.1 is posted with an October 1, 2026 effective date. A lender should build the sources-and-uses schedule from the current FDD, local bids, working capital, and any costs the Item 7 range excludes.

What the headline total does and does not include

That total excludes real estate, so land and building costs come on top. In plain terms, the $385,048 to $839,058 headline for Club Pilates does not cover buying land or a building, so that cost sits on top of it.

Verify this before you sign a Club Pilates agreement

This page is a benchmark comparison with the source limitation stated above. When the relevant language appears in the Club Pilates FDD you upload, an Inkvex review can surface quoted passages, a 1-to-10 risk score, real-estate and working-capital issues, and an attorney-handoff summary. Coverage depends on the document and analysis output, so verify every material point against the filing and with franchise counsel.
