Overview
FIT House of Brands is a global wellness franchisor that unites a multi-brand portfolio, including F45 Training, FS8, and VAURA Pilates. Franchisees operate 45-minute HIIT group workouts (F45), low-impact FS8 sessions that blend functional style with Pilates and yoga, and athletic reformer Pilates under VAURA. The company supports studios with site selection, design, marketing, staff training, and daily operations, earning revenue from upfront franchise fees and ongoing royalties, and it is expanding to recovery services like cold plunges and infrared saunas. Its goal is to streamline operations under the FIT umbrella, drive growth through acquisitions or in-house development, and create a broad, global wellness ecosystem for partners and members.

What critics are saying
