Gold's Gym vs Mayweather Boxing + Fitness Franchise Comparison

Bodybuilders training outside on Muscle Beach were the first customers for the original Gold's Gym when it opened in Venice, California, in 1965. With its intense, no-frills atmosphere, the gym soon became known as the 'Mecca of Bodybuilding.' Arnold Schwarznegger's movie 'Pumping Iron' focused on Gold's Gym, propelling it into the spotlight in 1975. Gold's Gym has been franchising since 1980, and franchises account for more than 90 percent of its locations. In addition to running the health club facilities, franchisees sell Gold's Gym licensed apparel through their Pro Shops.

The total investment necessary to begin the operation of a Mayweather Boxing + Fitness™ franchise ranges from $116,000 to $405,000 for a Conversion Model and from $282,000 to $698,000 for a Standard Model which will depend on a number of factors which are further discussed in Item 7 of the FDD. Regardless of the model, this includes $42,485 to $48,825 that must be paid to Franchisor or an affiliate. This includes the Initial Franchise Fee of $15,000 for a Conversion Model or $39,500 for a Standard Model (as discussed in Item 5) that must be paid to the Franchisor or affiliate.

The franchisor also may grant multi-unit development right to qualified franchisees, who then will have the right to develop a number of Mayweather Boxing + Fitness™ businesses under a Development Rider. The Initial Franchisee Fee for the first franchise purchased is $39,500 with the same initial investment for the Standard Model as described above, plus a non-refundable Development Fee which is a deposit of $14,500 for each additional Mayweather Boxing + Fitness™ business to be developed. The Development Fee is applied to the reduced franchise fee of $29,500 for each additional Franchise to be developed.
