Gym franchise fees in India: fee vs royalty vs Power Fee
Most gym franchises charge an upfront franchise fee plus an ongoing royalty on your revenue — and you still run the gym. WTF works differently: a fixed monthly Power Fee under which WTF operates the gym for you, and after that fee you keep 100% of the P&L. Entry from ₹50 Lakh.
