Gameday Men's Health®
What Is Gameday Men's Health?
Gameday Men's Health is a Health & Wellness franchise that grants the right to open and operate Clinics offering healthcare services for men. Franchisees operate under clinic-based, in-person models either through Direct Clinic Ownership (DCO), where a medical professional owns and operates the Clinic, or through a Management Services Organization (MSO) that provides non-medical business management services to a medical professional’s Clinic. The Clinics serve male patients (B2C) and provide a core service bundle including hormone replacement, erectile-dysfunction and vitamin wellness therapies, weight management, physicals, related non-critical healthcare services, goods, medications, and membership programs.
Gameday Men's Health Franchise: Pros and Cons
A major strength is that the system shows 0 outlet terminations, 0 non-renewals and no franchisee judgments, settlements, penalties or enforcement actions, indicating very low turnover and legal friction; a key risk is the unusually high 292 signed-but-not-open units, which may signal openings or buildout delays.
Pros
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
Gameday Men's Health - The Facts: A 2024 suit by a former employee of a franchisee-managed clinic alleges wrongful termination, retaliation and unfair business practices naming Ream Franchise Group and Gameday Health Management; Gameday Men's Health entities have sought removal. The Advice: Review franchise agreement indemnities, staffing/control clauses, employment policies, insurance, and request claim history and outcomes.
Territory Protection
Gameday Men's Health grants a protected Exclusive Territory-generally the lesser of a three-mile radius or ~100,000 people-plus exclusive development territories sized by market density. Territory rights are contingent on meeting performance quotas; the franchisor retains e‑commerce/alternative-channel sales rights and can develop additional units nearby (no ROFR).
Training & Support
Gameday Men's Health provides a focused 40-hour training curriculum designed to prepare seven staff members for launch. The program includes on-site launch assistance to support operational readiness; on-site support carries additional fees, and franchisees are responsible for travel and living expenses.
Franchisee Stability
Gameday Men's Health receives a Normal Stability Score. Three-year turnover of 6.25% falls below the typical Health & Wellness franchise (around 7%) and sits just under the category midpoint among industry peers. Out of 1 total exits across the two reported years, franchisor buybacks dominated with 1, alongside no terminations, no non-renewals, and no ceased operations.
The dominance of franchisor buybacks suggests the franchisor is reclaiming units, which can mean it absorbs underperforming locations. This approach often indicates the franchisor steps in to take back, renovate, or relaunch underperforming locations rather than letting owners exit on their own. This is built on a compact track record (roughly 16 franchisees averaged across three years); continued retention as the system grows would solidify the picture. For prospective franchisees, retention is in line with industry peers.
Unit Growth Analysis
Gameday Men's Health is growing extremely fast-expanding to 262 units in two years with an over 1,200% year-over-year jump-so it's clearly in expansion mode. For a new owner that means a short window to claim territory but elevated operational risk: franchisor support, onboarding capacity, supply chains and quality controls can lag rapid openings, so insist on clear metrics for support-staff levels, typical time-to-profit, and early-franchisee churn before committing.
