The vendor opportunity at BODYBAR
BODYBAR Franchising operates 73 franchised fitness studios, all under a centralized technology mandate. With an average unit volume of $766,821 and a 7% royalty rate, the system generates meaningful per-location revenue that supports investment in mandated software. For vendors, the addressable market is exactly 73 units—no company-owned locations exist to dilute the franchisee-focused sales motion. The headquarters in Texas controls the tech stack, meaning a single successful pitch can unlock deployment across the entire system.
Who controls software purchasing
The buying center at BODYBAR sits with the founders and C-suite. Matt McCollum, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Kamille McCollum, Founder, President, and Chief Brand Officer, are the top decision-makers. Michael Piermarini, Chief Operations Officer, likely owns operational technology evaluation and implementation. Founders and Directors Stephen Gatlin and Laurie Gatlin may also influence major vendor decisions. For a software vendor, the path is direct: engage the executive team at HQ, not individual franchisees.
Mandated and current tech stack
BODYBAR’s 2026 FDD mandates several technology categories. Mariana Tek is the required studio management software, serving as the operational backbone for scheduling, point-of-sale, and client management. Consolidated Development Services (CDS) is mandated for development-related functions. The system also requires financial and operational benchmarking software, an applicant tracking system, and marketing management software—though specific vendors for these categories are not named in the FDD extract. This stack leaves room for complementary tools in areas like payroll, business intelligence, or member engagement, provided they integrate with Mariana Tek.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
BODYBAR’s procurement model is not detailed in the available FDD extract. Item 8, which typically outlines designated versus approved suppliers, is absent from our corpus. Similarly, the initial franchise term and Item 17 renewal conditions are not disclosed. Without these data points, vendors cannot pinpoint contract renewal windows or mandatory refresh cycles from the FDD alone. The safest approach is to treat BODYBAR as a relationship-driven sale: build a case for ROI, demonstrate integration with Mariana Tek, and present directly to the executive team.
