Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation – The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the Company has made all adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.

On January 2, 2024, the Company acquired Lindora Franchise, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the franchisor of the Lindora wellness brand (the “Lindora Franchisor” or “Lindora”), and has included the results of operations of Lindora in its condensed consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date forward. See Note 4 for additional information.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications – To conform with current year presentation, the Company has reclassified gift card receivable of $5,809 from accounts receivable, net, to prepaid expenses and other current assets in the December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Specifically, within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, changes in tax receivable agreement liability which was previously included in other current liabilities is now reported separately. The reclassifications do not affect previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates – The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's restricted cash consists of marketing fund restricted cash, which can only be used for activities that promote the Company’s brands and guarantee of standby letter of credit (See Note 16). Marketing fund restricted cash was $16,146 and $15,312 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The interest earned on marketing fund restricted cash accounts is also restricted for use. Total restricted cash was $16,934 and $16,063 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit losses

Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit losses – Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from franchisees and vendors. These receivables primarily relate to royalties, advertising contributions, equipment and product sales, training, vendor commissions and other miscellaneous charges. The Company’s payment terms on its receivables from franchisees are generally 30 days. Receivables are unsecured; however, the franchise agreements provide the Company the right to withdraw funds from the franchisee’s bank account or to terminate the franchise for nonpayment.

The Company’s accounts and notes receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an appropriate allowance for expected credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts and notes receivable balances and establishes an allowance for expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses is based upon historical bad debts, current receivable balances, age of receivable balances, the franchisee's or customer’s financial condition and ability to comply with credit terms and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. Actual uncollected amounts have historically been consistent with the Company’s expectations. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition – The Company’s contracts with customers consist of franchise agreements with franchisees. The Company also enters into agreements to sell merchandise and equipment, training, on-demand video services and membership to company-owned transition studios. The Company’s revenues primarily consist of franchise license revenues, other franchise related revenues including equipment and merchandise sales and training revenue. In addition, the Company earns on-demand revenue, service revenue and other revenue.

Each of the Company’s primary sources of revenue and their respective revenue policies are discussed further below.

Franchise revenue – The Company enters into franchise agreements for each franchised studio. The Company’s performance obligation under the franchise license is granting certain rights to access the Company’s intellectual property; all other services the Company provides under the franchise agreement are highly interrelated, not distinct within the contract, and therefore accounted for as a single performance obligation, which is satisfied over the term of each franchise agreement. Those services include initial development, operational training, preopening support and access to the Company’s technology throughout the franchise term. Fees generated related to the franchise license include development fees, royalty fees, marketing fees, technology fees and transfer fees. Variable fees are not estimated at contract inception, and are recognized as revenue when invoiced, which occurs monthly. The Company has concluded that its agreements do not contain any financing components.

Franchise development fee revenue – The Company’s franchise agreements typically operate under ten-year terms with the option for up to two additional five-year successor terms. Starting in 2025 new franchise agreements typically operate under ten-year terms with the option for one additional ten-year successor term. The Company determined the successor options are neither qualitatively nor quantitatively material and do not represent a material right. Initial franchise fees are non-refundable and are typically collected upon signing of the franchise agreement. Initial franchise fees are recorded as deferred revenue when received and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life, which the Company has determined to be ten years, as the Company fulfills its promise to grant the franchisee the rights to access and benefit from the Company’s intellectual property and to support and maintain the intellectual property.

Prior to the second quarter of 2025, the Company would enter into an area development agreements with certain franchisees. Area development agreements are for a territory in which a developer has agreed to develop and operate a certain number of franchise locations over a stipulated period of time. The related territory is unavailable to any other party and is no longer marketed to future franchisees by the Company. Depending on the number of studios purchased under franchise agreements or area development agreements, the initial franchise fee ranges from $60 (single studio) to $350 (ten studios) and is paid to the Company when a franchisee signs the franchise agreement or the area development agreement. Area development fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue. The development fees are allocated to the number of studios purchased under the development agreement. The revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life for each studio under the development agreement. Development fees and franchise fees are generally recognized as revenue upon the termination of the development agreement with the franchisee.

Starting in the second quarter of 2025, the Company may enter into multi-unit agreements with certain franchisees. Under these agreements, a developer has agreed to develop and operate a certain number of franchise locations over a stipulated period of time. The multi-unit agreement fees are allocated to the number of studios to be developed and as part of the agreement, franchisees are required to remit the full fee associated with the first franchise license and make nonrefundable development fee payments of $10 each to reserve the right to open the subsequent studios as specified. Fees received for the initial franchise license are recorded as deferred revenue. Development fee payments received in advance for studios expected to open within one year are classified as short-term liabilities and development fee payments received in advance for studios expected to open beyond one year are classified as long-term liabilities. Nonrefundable development fee payments are applied towards the multi-unit agreement fees and the remaining balance for each subsequent studio is due upon site selection for the studio and signing of a franchise agreement by the franchisee. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the franchise life for each studio under the multi-unit agreement. Multi-unit agreement fees and nonrefundable development fee payments are generally recognized as revenue upon the termination of the multi-unit agreement with the franchisee.

The Company may enter into master franchise agreements with master franchisees, under which the master franchisee sells licenses to franchisees in one or more countries outside of North America. The master franchise agreements generally provide a ten-year period under which the master franchisee may sell licenses. The master franchise agreement term ends on the earlier of the expiration or termination of the last franchise agreement sold by the master franchisee. Initial master franchise fees are recorded as deferred revenue when received and are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.

Franchise royalty fee revenue – Royalty revenue represents royalties earned from each of the franchised studios in accordance with the franchise disclosure document and the franchise agreement for use of the brands’ names, processes and procedures. The royalty rate in the franchise agreement is typically 7% of the gross sales of each location operated by each franchisee. The royalties are entirely related to the Company’s performance obligation under the franchise agreement and are billed and recognized as franchisee sales occur.

Technology fees – The Company may provide access to third-party or other proprietary technology solutions to the franchisees for a fee. The technology solution may include various software licenses for statistical tracking, scheduling, allowing club members to record their personal workout statistics, music and technology support. The Company bills and recognizes the technology fee as earned each month as the service is performed and access is provided.

Transfer fees – Transfer fees are paid to the Company when one franchisee transfers a franchise agreement to a different franchisee. Transfer fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the new or assumed franchise agreement, unless the original franchise agreement for an existing studio is terminated, in which case the transfer fee is recognized immediately.

Training revenue – The Company provides coach training services either through direct training of the coaches who are hired by franchisees or by providing the materials and curriculum directly to the franchisees who utilize the materials to train their hired coaches. Direct training fees are recognized over time as training is provided. Training fees for materials and curriculum are recognized at the point in time of delivery of the materials.

The Company also offers coach training and final coach certification through online classes. Fees received by the Company for online class training are recognized as revenue over time for the 12-month period that the Company is obligated to provide access to online training content.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income – The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within the consolidated financial statements and therefore does not separately present a consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements – Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis and requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosures of the inputs to valuations used to measure fair value.

This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates and yield curves), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs would be based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short maturities, proximity of issuance to the balance sheet date or variable interest rate.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Segment Reporting – In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the fourth quarter of 2024, using a retrospective method. The adoption expanded the Company’s disclosures but did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 18 for additional information

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and will lose this qualification on December 31, 2026, which is the last day of the fiscal year after the fifth anniversary of the Company's IPO, or sooner. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company, the JOBS Act permits the Company an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period.

Income Taxes Disclosures – In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 for public business entities (“PBEs”) and December 15, 2025 for entities other than PBEs with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Statement Expense Disclosures – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated information about specified categories of expenses included in certain captions presented on the face of the income statement including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations and Consolidation – In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity.” ASU No. 2025-03 provides clarifying guidance on determining the accounting acquirer in certain transactions involving VIEs. The update aims to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have but do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
