Absentee, 100% Recurring Revenue | Two F45 Franchises

Business Description

Take over 2 established F45 Training studios that already run without an owner on site.

These 2 HIIT studios in Kern and Tulare counties, California, have been operating since 2023 with a combined base of more than 650 members, all on recurring auto-payment. The current owners are absentee, with paid managers and coaching teams handling daily operations. A new owner inherits a running membership business with community already built, systems in place through Mind Body, and revenue that renews automatically every 2 weeks. Both studios were first to market in their areas, and the franchisor will not sell additional territory in one of them, giving the buyer a protected footprint.

Highlights include:

- 100% recurring membership revenue on auto-payment

- 2 studios operating under existing managers and coaches

- First-to-market in both Kern and Tulare counties

- Protected single-operator territory in one market

- Modern buildouts, both under a few years old

- Assignable leases running through 2028

This may suit a semi-absentee investor, an existing fitness operator adding locations, or a first-time franchise buyer who wants a manager-run business already generating recurring income.

Facilities & Equipment

The sale includes 2 leased HIIT studio locations in Kern and Tulare counties, California, each part of a larger multi-suite building on a busy, high-traffic street with strong exposure and ample parking. One studio is roughly 2,400 sq ft and the other roughly 2,600 sq ft, both featuring modern buildouts completed within the last few years. The full equipment package, fixtures, and furnishings transfer with the sale, along with the Mind Body software that runs scheduling, membership, and billing. Both leases run through 2028 and are assignable to a qualified buyer.

Growth Opportunities

A new owner has several realistic ways to grow. Corporate and B2B partnerships with larger local employers, offering company membership rates, could bring in groups of new members at once. There may also be an opportunity to acquire an additional protected territory in one market, as the franchisor may be open to selling one more. Beyond that, expanding paid social and referral campaigns, tightening trial-to-membership conversion, and adding retail or specialty programming could lift revenue per member across both studios.

Reason for Sale

Owners are looking to move to a new business venture.

Support & Training

The franchisor provides standard onboarding and brand systems, with ongoing involvement focused mainly on technical and IT support. Franchise transfer is subject to franchisor approval, and the current owners have an established corporate contact to coordinate the process. Both studios operate with experienced managers and coaching teams already in place, so daily operations continue uninterrupted through a transition. The sellers are open to providing transition support after closing to help a new owner get up to speed.
