HQ-led decisions
EMS To You Franchising Co.
FitnessSoftware purchasing at EMS To You Franchising Co. is controlled at the headquarters level by a tight executive team led by Founder Vanessa Barnett and President Jonathan L. Barnett. The franchisor mandates two proprietary systems—the EMS To You Scheduling and Marketing System and Scheduling Center—and also lists Inner Circle as a recommended technology. With only 1 company-owned unit disclosed in the 2026 FDD, the addressable market is currently a single-location opportunity, but the mandated tech stack signals a centralized procurement model for any future franchise growth.

The vendor opportunity at EMS To You
EMS To You Franchising Co. is a fitness concept headquartered in Colorado with a single company-owned unit as disclosed in its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. No franchised locations are reported, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. For software vendors, this represents a nascent opportunity: a centralized, founder-led operation where technology decisions are made at the top. The royalty rate is 5.0%, and the initial franchise term runs 7 years. While the total addressable market is currently just one location, the mandated technology stack suggests that any future expansion will follow a tightly controlled, HQ-driven procurement model.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority sits with the executive team identified in Item 1 of the FDD. Founder Vanessa Barnett and President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer Jonathan L. Barnett are the primary decision-makers. Vice President Kristopher A. Antolak and Director of Marketing and Design Erin Banner are also named and likely influence technology selection, particularly around marketing and operational systems. Training Manager Monica Silva may provide input on systems that affect franchisee onboarding and compliance. There is no parent company—the brand appears independently owned—so all software decisions flow through this small leadership group.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD mandates two proprietary systems: the EMS To You Scheduling and Marketing System and Scheduling Center. These are required for franchise operations, meaning any vendor selling scheduling, CRM, or marketing automation tools must either integrate with or displace these incumbents. Inner Circle is also referenced in the technology disclosures, though it is not explicitly labeled as mandated in the available extract. No point-of-sale system, ERP, or other operational software is named, leaving potential openings for vendors in those categories.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 procurement signals are not extracted in the available data, so the designated supplier versus approved supplier framework remains unclear. However, the renewal conditions in Item 17 provide some timing insight: franchisees must give written notice between 120 days and one year before the end of their 7-year term. They must also execute the then-current Franchise Agreement, which may contain materially different terms, and meet updated qualification and training requirements. For a single-unit system, software contract windows are tied to that unit’s renewal cycle, and any vendor engagement should align with the franchisor’s centralized evaluation process.
How to read the EMS To You FDD
The 2026 EMS To You Franchise Disclosure Document is filed with state franchise regulators and is available for review below. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executive team), Item 11 (mandated systems), Item 8 (procurement restrictions, if disclosed), and Item 17 (renewal and transfer conditions). Because this is an early-stage concept with only one unit, the FDD provides a concentrated view of the franchisor’s operational and technology philosophy. For a ranked target list of franchise systems that match your software category, FranCloud can help you prioritize your outreach.
