It not only includes typical cardio and core availability but also adds group sessions like Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, as well as Personal Training and Small Group Training.

Shapes is halting franchise sales for 30 to 60 days as we make updates to our FDD. Nothing to be alarmed or concerned about but please do not submit any territory checks or registrations until further notice.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
