SWEAT440 FAQ

Do you have to have fitness experience?

No. While it does help to have a good understanding of the fitness industry it is not required. SWEAT440 handles all scientific programming so franchisees are not burdened with that. The coaches that work in the studios are required to be certified but the owners are not.

How much does a franchise cost?

Opening a SWEAT440 studio costs between $250,000 and $550,000. The franchise fee for the first studio is $44,000 and decreases for multi unit developers. Equipment and technologies packages cost $82,000. The rest of the costs will fluctuate depending upon site selection and construction costs. We will help you with the selection of your location so that we can mitigate these opening costs as much as possible.

Am I protected from another SWEAT440 studio opening near me?

Yes, upon signing your development agreement we will determine a protected territory in which only you can open a studio.

How long is the franchise agreement and is it renewable?

Our franchisee agreement is 10 year with options to renew.

How long do I have to develop a studio under the franchise agreement?

Studios are expected to open within 8 months from signing. When developing under a multi unit development agreement a clear timeline will be agreed upon at the time of signing.
