Planet Fitness vs Mayweather Boxing + Fitness Franchise Comparison

Planet Fitness got its start in 1992 when Michael Grondahl acquired a struggling gym. He reduced membership prices to compete against better-known brands and focused on serving occasional or first-time gym users. Every Planet Fitness location holds a pizza night for members once a month, as well as a bagel morning, and Tootsie Rolls are available at all times.

Planet Fitness strives to promote health in a respectful atmosphere. For over a decade, Planet Fitness has gone to great lengths to provide its members with a friendly space to work out. We call it the Judgment Free Zone. We discourage weight dropping and obnoxious grunting so you can focus on your own workout and not the person next to you.

The total investment necessary to begin operation of a single Planet Fitness facility ranges from $968,100 to $3,072,000 if you finance your equipment.

This includes $48,000 to $297,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliate.

If you choose to purchase your equipment, the total investment necessary to begin operation of a single Planet Fitness facility ranges from $1,500,000 to $4,113,000.

This includes $295,000 to $912,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliate.

These estimated initial investment ranges also apply to each location that you develop under the Area Development Agreement (plus the Area Development Fee you pay at the time you sign the Area Development Agreement). If you sign an Area Development Agreement, you must develop one or more Planet Fitness facilities, and you will pay an Area Development Fee of $10,000 per planned location (paid in full when you sign the Area Development Agreement) in addition to the then-current initial franchise fee due for each location at the time the Franchise Agreement for that location is signed.

Additional franchises may be available for those franchisees who have bought at least one franchise, at a reduced fee of $29,500 per Franchise.

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.
