YOGA SIX

The vendor opportunity at YogaSix

YogaSix operates 192 franchised locations, all of which represent addressable units for software vendors. The brand reported an average unit volume of $488,615 in its 2025 FDD, with year-over-year unit growth of 3.784%. The franchisor mandates specific technology across the system, meaning a single HQ-level sale can unlock deployment across the entire network. There are no company-owned units disclosed, so every location falls under the franchisor's technology mandates.

Who controls software purchasing

The buying center at YogaSix sits at the corporate level. The FDD lists five key executives: Michael Nuzzo (Chief Executive Officer), John Meloun (Chief Financial Officer), Timothy Weiderhoft (Chief Operating Officer, North America), John Kawaja (President, North America), and Andrew Hagopian (Chief Legal Officer). Given the mandated nature of the tech stack, the COO and CFO are likely central to any software evaluation or procurement decision. Vendors should prepare for a top-down sales motion targeting operations and finance leadership.

Mandated and current tech stack

YogaSix mandates two categories of technology. Business management software is required, and Club Ready Software is specifically named as the mandated vendor. A POS system is also mandated, though the specific vendor is not named in the available FDD extract. This dual mandate means any vendor selling operational, CRM, or payment software must either integrate with Club Ready or demonstrate a compelling reason to replace it. The absence of a named POS vendor may signal an opportunity for POS providers to compete for that slot.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not disclosed in the available data. Franchise agreements run for a 10-year initial term, with a single 10-year renewal option. To renew, franchisees must pay a $10,000 successor fee, provide 90 to 180 days' notice, and sign a general release. These renewal windows, occurring on a rolling basis across the system, may create natural moments for the franchisor to reevaluate mandated technology vendors.

How to read the YogaSix FDD

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document provides the legal and operational blueprint for the YogaSix system. Key sections for software vendors include Item 11 (franchisor's obligations), which surfaces the mandated tech stack, and Item 17 (renewal), which outlines the contract cycle. The FDD is filed with state franchise regulators and is available in the embedded viewer below. For a ranked target list of franchise systems matched to your software category, FranCloud can help.
