Earnings and sales figures in the F45 Training FDD
Item 19 is the section of the FDD where a brand may state what its locations earn or sell, and F45 Training shares figures there. The headline figure is $480,832 in average yearly sales, drawn from 676 franchised US studios open for at least 12 months, spanning March 2025 through February 2026. It is money the store takes in, not profit, because rent, wages and every other cost get paid from it.
