The vendor opportunity at RiseUp Fitness
RiseUp Fitness runs 2 fitness locations, both company-owned, with average unit volume at $370,871 on a 7% royalty per the 2023 FDD. The FDD makes a financial performance representation. It is a small, HQ-run system today, though its Item 17 terms point to a franchise model in reserve.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names CEO Kyle Visin, President Emily Foley, and CFO/COO Addison Clarke. With both current locations company-owned, purchasing decisions run through this small executive team rather than through independent operators.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 11 mandates Mindbody and QuickBooks by Intuit for every location — both are required systems. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter by X, and YouTube by Google are all named in Item 11 without being required.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 designates suppliers only: locations must buy inventory, equipment, computer systems, and certain software from suppliers or contractors the franchisor names, or to its specifications, though a location can propose a new supplier for approval. The initial term runs 7 years, with up to two 5-year successor terms for locations in good standing — each one a point where a vendor relationship could change.
How to read the RiseUp Fitness FDD
The FDD was filed with state franchise regulators in 2023. The embedded viewer below covers Item 8 for procurement, Item 11 for the Mindbody and QuickBooks mandates, and Item 19 for the financial performance representation.
