The vendor opportunity at My Gym
My Gym is a California-headquartered fitness franchise with 166 total units (162 franchised, 4 company-owned), flat year over year. The system is concentrated in California (42), Florida (21), New York (18), Maryland (10), and New Jersey (8), and is overwhelmingly single-unit: 159 of 162 mapped operators run just one location.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 8 requires franchisees to buy the MGM 3.0 enterprise software directly from the franchisor — a clear HQ-controlled software mandate, even though it sits in the supplier-restrictions item rather than the technology item. Michael Chalovich (Chief Operating Officer) and Jamie Bertisch (Chief Financial Officer) are the officers most likely to sit on a vendor evaluation alongside CEO Cory Bertisch.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
No tech systems are named under Item 11 for My Gym. Item 11 of the FDD sets the system's technology and training requirements.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs on specifications: franchisees may use any supplier that meets My Gym's written standards, with two exceptions bought only from the franchisor — Customized Equipment (ball pits, climbers) and the MGM 3.0 enterprise software. Other Designated Equipment comes from the franchisor or an approved supplier, and franchisees may propose alternate suppliers for other purchases. The initial term is 12 years, with a further 12-year renewal available to compliant franchisees who complete required upgrades and sign a new agreement.
