What the F45 Training numbers mean next to the rest of the benchmark
This section places the stored $362,300 to $857,700 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. F45 Training opens 26% below that median low, a gap of $130,014, and tops out 3% below the median high, a gap of $23,891. 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
F45 Training ranks 20th of 55 by high-end total, its $857,700 high end running 33% above the $644,000 corpus median high, and its $362,300 low end 32% above the $275,500 corpus median low. The brands sitting closest to F45 Training on high-end total are Firehouse Subs at $875,950 in Food/QSR, Club Pilates at $839,058 in Fitness and Anytime Fitness at $905,482 in Fitness, which is the company F45 Training actually keeps on cost regardless of what industry it is sorted into.
The spread between low and high
F45 Training discloses a high end 2.4 times its low end, against a median of 2.1 times across these 55 brands. At 2.4 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 $495,400, 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
The total reflects leased studio rather than a real-estate purchase. In plain terms, the $362,300 to $857,700 headline for F45 Training reflects occupying premises rather than buying them, so lease terms drive what the space actually costs.
Verify this before you sign a F45 Training agreement
This page is a benchmark comparison with the source limitation stated above. When the relevant language appears in the F45 Training 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.
