About Elements

When simplicity is the essence of your business model, clients and owners benefit. Clients want a predictably wonderful experience with every visit. And you want a business that takes the guesswork out of daily operations, so you can focus on growth and creating a solid, profitable enterprise that will thrive for years to come. At Elements Massage® we’re working to achieve both with impressive results.

As an Elements Massage® franchisee, you’ll be part of a vibrant and fast-growing segment of the wellness arena, buoyed by training and systems that will support your growth and help you stand out in your market.

- Recurring Revenue
    Applicable to just a handful of lucky businesses, recurring membership models foster a steady revenue stream. Unlike with gym or weight-loss memberships, there’s nothing stopping clients from sticking to the program.
- Exceptional Training & Systems
    From the training you’ll receive at Franchise University to the systems that inform virtually every aspect of your business - marketing, finance, operations, client and talent acquisition - you’ll rely on proven methods designed to streamline efficiencies in all areas.
- Coveted Spot in the Wellness Community
    As a natural partner to the expanding health and wellness industry, you’ll find a wealth of referral opportunities that will benefit your clients, your community, and your own bottom line. It’s the perfect time to secure your place in what some observers are calling “the next trillion dollar industry.”

The total investment necessary to begin operation of an Elements Massage studio ranges from $251,950 to $491,350. This includes $74,024 to $85,521 that you must pay to the franchisor or its affiliates.
The total investment necessary under the Area Development Agreement is estimated to be $79,800 (for a 2-studio commitment) to $299,000 (for a 10-studio commitment). This entire amount must be paid to the franchisor.
