What Is PickUp USA Fitness?

PickUp USA Fitness is a franchise in the Health & Wellness category offering single, full-service, basketball-focused fitness clubs. The operational model is a brick-and-mortar fitness club location. It serves individual consumers (B2C) with a core service bundle of basketball training programs and basketball games plus weight and cardio equipment for youth and adult members.

PickUp USA Fitness Franchise: Pros and Cons

A perfect 100 training-and-support score means you can expect comprehensive onboarding and hands-on field help to reduce startup friction, but 72 signed-but-not-open outlets—an unusually high number—suggest the franchisor may be selling agreements faster than it can support openings or facing recurring site and buildout delays.

Pros

A perfect 100 training-and-support score is well above what's usual in Health & Wellness, meaning you can expect comprehensive onboarding and hands-on field support to reduce startup friction.
Initial franchise fees are refundable — an uncommon policy in Health & Wellness — which lowers your upfront signing risk compared with most systems.
No disclosed lawsuits, no franchisor-initiated enforcement, and no government penalties — all well below what's typical in Health & Wellness — signal a clean legal and regulatory record that reduces legal risk.

Cons

Seventy-two signed-but-not-open outlets is unusually high across all systems, suggesting the franchisor may be selling agreements faster than it can support openings or is facing recurring site and buildout delays.
Seven reacquired outlets is well above typical for Health & Wellness, indicating a higher-than-normal rate of past operators exiting the system.
Managers are required to hold equity and must provide 10% equity — an uncommon and relatively high requirement in Health & Wellness — which increases the cash you need and can complicate hiring or structuring management.

Territory Protection

57/100
Good

Grants a protected operating area where the franchisor will not place other physical units. Franchisor retains the right to develop additional units, increasing local market density, to sell via e-commerce and alternative distribution channels, and to use different trademarks; protection is subject to performance contingencies, while the franchisee maintains site-specific relocation rights.

Training & Support

100
Excellent

The brand provides a robust 124-hour training curriculum designed to prepare four staff members for launch. The program includes on-site launch assistance as part of operational readiness; on-site support is available at additional cost, and travel and lodging expenses are managed by the franchisee.

Franchise vs Corporate Performance: The Item 19 provides combined systemwide data for affiliate and franchised clubs rather than separate franchised-only or company-owned performance, so direct comparison between franchisee and corporate outlets is not possible from this disclosure alone.
Performance Variability Analysis: Reported ranges (for example, monthly private training revenue from 1598 to 10407 with an average of 4804 and median of 4210) indicate substantial variability among clubs, suggesting location- and operation-specific factors meaningfully affect results.
Data Scope and Limitations: The disclosure covers operating clubs through year-end 2024 and pre-open data from 2017–2024 but does not provide unit-level gross sales or summarized net income in dollars, limiting its usefulness for precise revenue or profit forecasting.
