Item 19
What Fitness Machine Technicians franchisees actually report earning
Median Revenue, franchisees active at least 6 full years
$659,374
Fitness Machine Technicians' 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the 2025 fiscal year. Basis: The 13 franchisees active at least 6 full years, operating 58 of the 134 franchised outlets. That is the largest of the six cohorts by sample, on both franchisees and outlets; it is not the highest median. The FDD prints no system-wide median: it reports 2025 Gross Revenue in six cohorts by years active, whose medians run from $84,253 to $714,595. Revenue is per franchisee, several of whom hold multiple territories.
Sample size: 13 franchisees. The FDD also reports average revenue, franchisees active at least 6 full years of $716,922. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest franchisees; the median is the middle franchisee.
