6. Retro Fitness
Retro Fitness was founded in 2002, and it’s franchising since 2006. Here, you’ll find all the things you might require of a gym, but that’s not all. As their name suggests, Retro gyms are based on the eighties concept. That way you’ll be able to watch the movies and listen to the music from this period among other things. Retro Fitness gyms are very successful and are constantly growing in numbers. As of 2015, there have been 135 total locations, 134 of which are US-based franchises, and one of which is the original, company held gym. Between $781,350 and $1,572,250 is needed initially if one’s about to buy the franchising license. Furthermore, the owner needs to have a net worth of at least $1,500,000, and cash liquidity of $300,000.
