Gym franchise agreement in India: what to check before you sign
A gym franchise agreement decides who owns what, who operates, and who keeps the profit. Most agreements make you the operator and take a royalty on top. WTF's agreement is built the other way: you own the asset and 100% of the P&L; WTF operates for a fixed monthly Power Fee.
The 6 clauses that matter most
- Ownership — is the asset (fit-out, equipment, brand rights) in your name?
- Who operates — you, or a professional team?
- Fees — upfront franchise fee, royalty, or a fixed operating fee?
- P&L — who keeps the profit?
- Term & exit — how long, and what happens at the end?
- Support — marketing, tech, training, retention — who delivers it?
The WTF difference
WTF's 5-year fully-managed agreement makes you the owner, not the operator: the asset is in your name, you keep 100% of the P&L, and WTF runs the gym for a fixed monthly Power Fee with full transparency — live dashboard, clear reporting, live P&L visibility.
Common questions
What should I check in a gym franchise agreement in India?
Check ownership (is the asset in your name), who operates the gym, the fee structure (franchise fee vs royalty vs fixed fee), who keeps the P&L, the term and exit, and what support is actually delivered. WTF's agreement is owner-first: you own the asset and 100% of the P&L, WTF operates for a fixed monthly Power Fee.
What is a Power Fee?
The Power Fee is WTF's fixed monthly fee to operate your gym — build, staffing, marketing, tech and daily management. It replaces the royalty model: you keep 100% of the P&L instead of paying a percentage of revenue.
How long is the WTF franchise agreement?
WTF's fully-managed contract runs 5 years, with full transparency through a live dashboard and clear reporting.
