Item 19
What MaxStrength Fitness franchisees actually report earning
Adjusted Net Income
$240,328
MaxStrength Fitness' 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the calendar year 2025. Basis: 1 franchised Studio.
Sample size: 1 outlet. The FDD reports no average alongside this median.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- The FDD excluded the 7 franchised Studios that had signed franchise agreements and opened in 2025 but did not operate for the entire 2025 calendar year.
- The Strongsville Studio is not presented because its operational model is not substantially similar to the Studios being offered to prospective franchisees.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new MaxStrength Fitness outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, MaxStrength Fitness opened 8 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 8, from 0 to 8 franchised outlets.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
