NextHealth®
What Is NextHealth?
NextHealth is a Health & Wellness franchise that operates Next Health Centers offering medical and non-medical wellness and aesthetic services. The operational model is brick-and-mortar centers (each a "Next Health Center") that must enter into a Management Agreement with the Medical Services Manager and engage a Medical Director and required clinical staff (e.g., a licensed nurse practitioner and an aesthetic RN) to oversee provision of Medical Services. The primary customers are members of the general public-generally adults-seeking health, wellness, longevity, medical and aesthetic treatments, including services described as speculative medical treatments (for example, therapeutic plasma exchange, ozone therapies, and peptide therapies).
NextHealth Franchise: Pros and Cons
The franchise's most notable strength is 134 hours of initial hands-on training, well above typical for Health & Wellness, giving owners thorough preparation before opening, but the biggest risk is very high estimated startup costs (Item 7: $1,593,300 to $2,173,800) plus an $80,000 franchise fee.

Lawsuits & Legal Risk
NextHealth reported no material legal proceedings,
Territory Protection
NextHealth grants protected, non-exclusive site-specific Designated Areas under each Franchise or Area Development Agreement, with sites and territorial maps set post-lease using market-density and demographic criteria. Protections depend on compliance and meeting performance quotas; franchisor may develop nearby units, operate special venues, sell via e-commerce, and franchisees lack first refusal.
Training & Support
NextHealth provides an extensive 134-hour training curriculum-a deep dive designed to prepare two individuals included in the initial franchise fee for launch and ongoing operations. The program includes on-site launch support for operational readiness; franchisees are responsible for travel and living expenses, and on-site support may incur an additional fee.
Unit Growth Analysis
The franchise’s unit count was flat at 5 units in 2023, 2024 and 2025 (5 → 5 → 5), corresponding to a 0.0% year‑over‑year growth rate in the latest period. For investors this signals stability but no expansion-no acceleration or decline-indicating stagnant growth momentum (no net openings or closures) and warranting due diligence on franchisor support, unit economics or market constraints.
