What Is Isi Elite Training?

Isi Elite Training is a franchise in the Health & Wellness category that operates fitness facilities offering athletic-based conditioning programs built around proprietary high-intensity and dynamic workouts. The operational model is brick-and-mortar, with facilities typically located in shopping malls, strip centers or freestanding structures and offering tiered membership packages to individual consumers. The core service bundle includes proprietary group fitness sessions, signature challenges, member progress tracking, a proprietary video vault and authorized retail sales of apparel and nutritional supplements.

Isi Elite Training Franchise: Pros and Cons

The franchise's most notable strength is its exceptional stability - a Franchise Stability Score of 100/100 with zero terminations, non-renewals, reacquisitions, lawsuits or penalties - signaling strong retention and a legally clean system; however, the biggest risk is the high upfront cost, with Item 7 fees of $66,750–$69,000 and a $60,000 initial franchise fee.

Pros

The Franchise Stability Score is Excellent (100/100, top tier), showing franchisees overwhelmingly stay in the system and signaling strong retention and steady unit-level performance.

Initial training is extensive-174 hours (top 5%)-and the Training & Support Score is 100 (top 10%), meaning the franchisor invests heavily in onboarding and support to get operators up to speed and reduce start-up mistakes.

The system reports zeros across terminations, non-renewals, reacquisitions, disclosed lawsuits, franchisor enforcement actions, government penalties, and franchisee judgments/settlements (all well below typical), indicating a low-dispute, legally clean operating environment.

Cons

Item 7 fee range of $66,750–$69,000 (well above typical) and an initial franchise fee of $60,000 (top quarter) make the upfront cost to buy into the system materially higher than many Health & Wellness peers, increasing the cash required before opening.

Lawsuits & Legal Risk

100

Excellent

Isi Elite Training reported no material legal proceedings,

Territory Protection

43/100

NORMAL

Isi Elite Training grants an exclusive, site-specific Designated Territory (population- and market-density based, up to ~50,000; defined as a radius, polygon, zip-code area or map) with boundaries set by the franchisor. Exclusivity is contingent on meeting performance quotas for Development Areas; the franchisor retains e-commerce/alternative-channel sales rights and may develop nearby units without offering a right of first refusal.

Training & Support

100

Excellent

Isi Elite Training provides a comprehensive 174-hour training curriculum designed to prepare four individuals for launch. The program includes on-site launch support for operational readiness, with on-site assistance provided at additional cost and franchisees responsible for travel and living expenses.

Franchisee Stability

100

Excellent

Isi Elite Training earns an Excellent Stability Score. Three-year turnover of 0.00% is well below the typical Health & Wellness franchise (around 7%). Out of 0 total exits over the three reported years, there were no terminations, no non-renewals, no franchisor buybacks, and no ceased operations.

This is built on a compact track record (roughly 39 franchisees averaged across three years); continued retention as the system grows would solidify the picture. There are about 22 franchised outlets in the most recent year, so prospective franchisees should weigh current consistency against future scale and variation across markets. For prospective franchisees, the picture so far is uniformly clean: every franchisee who came in stayed in.

Unit Growth Analysis

Isi Elite Training is at 42 units-up from 17 in 2022-but recent growth has decelerated to about -6.7% year-over-year. This looks like a "Rocket Ship" pattern: the concept scaled fast (40 franchised vs. 2 company-owned) so it’s validated and opportunities remain, but the recent slowdown suggests franchisor support and onboarding may be getting stretched; factor in longer ramp times and limited hands-on corporate help when pricing your unit and timelines.

Franchise vs Corporate Performance: The Item 19 data cover 27 outlets that operated for the full 2023 calendar year (the “2023 Outlets”). The disclosure notes five Affiliate outlets and 22 Franchised outlets among those 27 and states there are no material financial or operational differences between Affiliate and Franchised outlets other than that Affiliates do not pay initial franchise fees/royalties or operate in limited territories. The reported gross revenue figures were provided by affiliates and franchisees and have not been independently audited.

Performance Variability Analysis: There is substantial variability across outlets. When the 27 outlets are split into top/middle/bottom thirds (9 outlets each), the average gross revenues are $604,813 (top), $428,565 (middle) and $298,118 (bottom) - a spread of about $306k between the top- and bottom-third averages. The overall average (simple mean of the three group averages, reflecting equal group sizes) is $443,832. The system high is $823,968 and the system low is $190,858. Membership counts mirror revenue dispersion: average memberships are 363 (top), 258 (middle) and 192 (bottom). Twelve of 27 outlets (44% of the sample) met or exceeded their group average gross revenue. Operational KPIs: systemwide monthly attrition ranged from 0.63% to 6.1% during 2023 with an average monthly attrition of 4.29%, and the lead-to-member conversion rate for 2023 was 18%.

Data Scope and Limitations: Key limitations: the dataset is limited to the 27 outlets that operated the full 2023 year (excludes outlets that opened during the year), figures were reported by affiliates/franchisees and explicitly have not been independently audited, and the Item 19 tables present statistics by thirds rather than outlet-level raw data. The memberships data include frozen and active-decline memberships (active decline = failed auto-pay). Because raw outlet-level data are not provided in the disclosure, overall median gross revenue and outlet-level profitability (COGS/net income) cannot be determined from the Item 19 disclosure.
