Item 19
What ISI Elite Training franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Revenue
$432,989
ISI Elite Training's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the 2024 Calendar Year. Basis: The 2024 Outlets.
Sample size: 38 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross revenue of $428,289. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest outlets; the median is the middle outlet.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- We have excluded two (2) of the Franchised Outlets from this Item 19 because they closed during the 2024 Calendar Year (January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024) and did not operate for the entire 2024 Calendar Year.
- We have also excluded eight (8) other franchised outlets that opened during the 2024 Calendar Year because they had not operated for the entire 2024 Calendar Year.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new ISI Elite Training outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
