    For the franchisor

    • Which line items in the 2026 Item 7 estimate ($151,028 – $349,478) vary most by market, and why?

    • Which initial fee option would apply to my situation, and what conditions or discounts affect it?

    • Farrells Extreme Bodyshaping reports no financial performance figures in Item 19. What information can you share about unit-level results?

    • Reported units decreased from 44 to 41 in 2025. What drove the change?

    • Is a territory available in my area, and how is it defined in my agreement?

    For current and former owners

    • How did your actual startup costs and timeline compare with the Item 7 estimate?

    • How many hours a week do you work in the business, and in what role?
