🏋️ Fitness & Gyms franchise · New Brand programme

Strength-first gyms that fill without discounting

Three studios, one coaching system, and a membership model built on retention rather than January sign-ups. We are early in franchising and taking a small number of partners we can look after properly.

What it costs, format by format 💸

These are the brand's published figures. The franchise fee is what you pay them; the rest is what you spend on the shop. Working capital for the first three months sits on top of both and is yours to fund — budget another 10–15% if this is your first outlet.

What payback actually means here ⏳

A payback figure is a claim, not a promise. Below is what each one implies about the money that has to come back to you every month — check that number against the outlets already trading before you sign.

FormatYou put inBrand says paybackImplied monthly surplus
Forge Micro₹18L26 months₹69K / month
Forge Studio₹35L32 months₹1.1L / month
Forge Flagship₹55L38 months₹1.4L / month

Surplus means cash left after rent, salaries, consumables and royalty — not turnover. Ask to see one real outlet's P&L before you accept the figure.

Questions people actually ask ❓

How much do I need to open a Forge Athletics Studios?

The smallest format starts at ₹18L, and the largest at ₹55L. That covers the franchise fee plus site, fit-out and equipment. Working capital for the first few months is on top and is yours to arrange.

How long before I get my money back?

The brand publishes 26 months as the fastest payback, on its Forge Micro format. Treat that as their best case: ask to see the actual P&L of an outlet that has been open at least a year before you accept it.

What do I keep paying after I open?

Royalty runs at 6% to 8% of revenue depending on format. That is charged on turnover, not profit, so it is due in a bad month too.

Is my city still available?

5 territories are mapped as open right now, and 1 is already licensed. The territory list on this page is live — if yours is not on it, the brand has simply not mapped it yet, which is a question rather than a no.

Can I speak to someone already running one?

1 of the 3 outlets are partner-run. Every one is a live listing on this site with its own reviews, so you can read what customers say before you ask the brand for an introduction.

Do I have to run it myself?

FOFO: Hire the team, hold the standards, own the P&L. Highest margin, highest demand on your time. FOCO: Fund it, read the monthly numbers, approve capex. You are not in the shop.

How long has Forge Athletics Studios been going?

Since 2017 — 9 years, out of New Delhi. It now runs 3 outlets.
