F45 Training vs WTF Gyms
| F45 Training | WTF Gyms | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry cost | ₹60 – 80 Lakh (older reports) | From ₹50 Lakh |
| Who operates the gym | You (the franchisee) | WTF — full-stack, 16 hrs/day |
| Model | Studio franchise — master franchise, ongoing fees, owner-operated | Done-for-you, fixed Power Fee |
| Ongoing fee | Ongoing brand fees (India terms not published) | Fixed Power Fee (~₹1 L/month), no royalty |
| You own the asset and its P&L | ||
| Operating expertise needed | High | None |
The decisive difference isn't just the ticket — it's that with F45 Training you operate the gym, and with WTF, WTF operates it for you.
