Training Mate Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Walk in a mate, leave a legend.

Training Mate is a low impact 45-minute HIIT workout designed to help people become fitter, healthier and happier through the experience of fitness. And, in case the name didn't give it away, we're Aussie, which means we do things a little bit differently.

Where others yell, we cheer.
Where others intimidate, we give you a nickname.
Where others live to train, we train to live.

In our eyes, working out shouldn't be a chore or something to dread. It should be something you look forward to. So, long story short, we make it fun.

Through the power of mateship and positivity
Through cracking jokes during abs
By letting our coaches be unapologetically themselves
By not taking things so seriously

We' re able to create a community of absolute legends and break down the walls of intimidation that so often are a barrier in the fitness industry.

The result? A killer workout that can challenge the most seasoned athlete but also accommodate people new to fitness. And a community of bloody legends.

Are you ready to become a legend?

Training Mate was born the shores of Australia.

Tested on the rugby field.

And refined in Los Angeles.

When our founder, Luke Milton, retired from professional rugby he didn't miss the game, he missed the team, the camaraderie, and the mateship. It was never just about the sport, it was about the lifestyle.

Frustrated that he couldn't find this replicated anywhere in the fitness community, he decided to create it himself.

Armed only with an idea, a 2,500 sqft space and a speedo, he opened the first studio in West Hollywood in 2013 with a few core principles that have become the guiding light of our company:

- that fitness can be fun

- that coaches don't have to be douchebags

- that anyone can achieve a healthy lifestyle

Because of this, Training Mate has become a loved training movement and a celebrity darling. While everyone is a celebrity in our eyes, our clients include some of the biggest names in Hollywood such as Hilary Duff, Nina Dobrev, Ash Greene, Allen Leech, Jesse Metcalfe and Ashley Tisdale to name a few. Luke was also featured as a celebrity trainer on Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian for all three seasons.

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees.
