Share on Reddit Business Description
Established, turnkey boutique group-fitness franchise studio in the growing St. Louis Metro East (Madison County, IL). The studio completed its first full year of operation with strong results — approximately $320,000 in revenue and owner-operator discretionary earnings (SDE) of about $80,500. Nearly all revenue is recurring monthly membership billing, giving the business a predictable, subscription-style income base with 150+ active members.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a modern, fully built-out studio that is already open, staffed, and profitable — instead of spending far more, and waiting 12–24 months, to build a new franchise location from the ground up. The buildout is recent (the studio is under two years old), the equipment is current and included in the sale, and the studio already carries the franchisor's current branding and signage, so there is no required refresh at transfer.
The business is ideal for an owner-operator who wants to step into a running studio and earn both the operating profit and the salary currently paid to a manager. It can also continue to run semi-absentee with the existing manager and staff in place, as it does today. The franchisor provides established training systems, marketing support, and a recognized national brand.
Memberships are billed on a recurring monthly basis across multiple tiers, with a healthy cushion above the studio's break-even point. Marketing was minimal during the opening months, leaving clear, low-cost upside for a new owner who invests in local outreach, expanded class times, and community or corporate partnerships.
The studio operates from a ~2,812 sq ft leased space in a strong retail location; the lease is assignable subject to landlord consent. The business name, brand, exact location, and full financials will be shared with qualified buyers after a signed confidentiality agreement (NDA).
Reason for selling: the owner is streamlining to focus on other business interests. This is a healthy, profitable studio offered proactively — not a distressed sale.

- Franchise

- Facilities & Assets
- Modern, fully built-out boutique fitness studio of ~2,812 sq ft in a strong retail location. The buildout is recent (studio under two years old) and in excellent condition. All furniture, fixtures, and equipment are included in the sale — the training rig and racks, free weights, cardio equipment, turf and flooring, and the class technology and sound system. The studio already carries the franchisor's current branding and signage, so there is no required refresh at transfer. Equipment is current and well maintained, keeping near-term capital needs low for a new owner.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Located in a growing, affluent suburban market with strong, steady demand for boutique and group fitness. The studio benefits from a recognized national franchise brand, a loyal recurring-membership base, and an established local presence built over its first full year. Memberships are billed on a recurring monthly basis across multiple tiers, providing predictable, subscription-style revenue with a healthy cushion above the studio's break-even point.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Membership grew steadily through the first year and peaked mid-year, leaving clear room to grow back toward and beyond that peak. Marketing spend was minimal during the opening months, so a new owner has low-cost upside through consistent local marketing, expanded class scheduling, referral and retention programs, and community or corporate partnerships. An owner-operator can further improve returns by taking over day-to-day management and capturing the manager's salary.
