Item 19
What Fly Dance Fitness franchisees actually report earning
Fly Dance Fitness' 2026 FDD publishes no median in its Item 19. What it publishes instead is set out below, in the document's own terms. An average is not a median: it is pulled upward by the strongest outlets, and it does not tell you what the middle outlet made. We do not calculate a median the document does not state.
The financial performance information was taken from You So Fly's accounting software and has not been independently audited.
