Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from CycleBar's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

They have not cleared our 0.85 QA bar, usually because no primary regulator-hosted filing was reachable and the figures come from a secondary source. Treat them as indicative and check the linked source before relying on them. We publish the score rather than hiding it — see the methodology.

What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

Total initial investment · Item 7$411K–$1.1M
$0$1.5M
ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee$50,000$50,000
Total initial investment$410,809$1,110,193

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Costs more to open than 66% of fitness franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (130 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against fitness brands that do disclose one.

Common questions

Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.

How much does a CycleBar franchise cost?

CycleBar's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $411K–$1.1M. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $50,000, and is included in that range.

How many CycleBar locations closed?

In its most recent reported year (2024), CycleBar opened 20, closed 62, terminated 12 franchised outlets, ending the year with 378. Averaged over three years, 11.6% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.

Facts on this page are sourced from a third-party archive's copy of CycleBar's Franchise Disclosure Document, not filed with us directly — treat figures here as one step further from the original filing.

The retrieved document appears to be for CycleBar's Area Representative program rather than a standard single-studio franchise, so the Item 7 range ($113,500-$670,500, of which $109,000-$609,000 is payable to the franchisor/affiliates) may not be directly comparable to typical single-studio FDD figures for this brand. Items 5, 6, 3, 4, 12, 17, 19, 20 were not present in the fetched excerpt (2017-vintage gated aggregator preview) and are left null/empty rather than guessed. This is a 2017-vintage document; current terms likely differ materially given Xponential Fitness's subsequent ownership of CycleBar.
