With public awareness known from around the world in over 86 countries, and the widely acclaimed competitive sports television program, American Gladiators has earned immediate and widespread recognition. Today the name, American Gladiators, continues to bring to mind the superior strength, mental fortitude and the competitive spirit that is the heritage of this great country.
The transference of this instant brand recognition into the buzz that American Gladiators Fitness (AGF) is becoming a major player in the fitness and health industry will be expedited by this long-standing, international reputation for competitive excellence.
American Gladiators Fitness sees a very timely and significant opportunity to capture and own a profitable share of the U.S. fitness center marketplace. AGF has identified the need to extend the basic working philosophy of a fitness center as a place for customers to get in physical shape, into the peripheral responsibility that recognizes that many fitness club members exercise to improve their performance in sports endeavors, as well as their performance in their business or working careers.
American Gladiators Fitness will develop state-of-the-industry fitness gyms to conduct customer tailored, integrated fitness agendas and popular group exercise programs designed to assist and motivate our clients to reach and maintain maximum levels of physical strength, sustained concentration, achieve a balance of healthy consciousness, and improved mental preparedness.
The American Gladiators Fitness 'arenas' are offered in four (4) club general floor plans subject to the actual size and configuration of the facility.
The Express - 2,500 Sq. Ft.
The Forum - 15,000 Sq. Ft.
The Arena - 25,000 Sq. Ft.

American Gladiators Fitness Center themes have been designed to portray the dynamic energy and vibrancy, strength and trend setting posture of the company's powerful image. Tactful use of the company's logo will be a strong reminder for exactly what the name of the club is. After a great workout for many at the "Body Fuel Zone Nutritional Bar" is the place for one of 10 delectably tasting with specially blended Glad Smoothies.
The American Gladiators Fitness Centers franchise is founded upon a proven operating system, effective and safe programs, quality products, a well-established name and reputation, and exceptionally strong Corporate Headquarters assistance through our comprehensive initial training with both classroom and hands-on in our facility in Orlando, FL and ongoing support programs.
The success of a franchise program, however, is not only based on a turnkey business concept, but also on the continued support provided to franchisees. We are committed to working in close concert with the marketing directors of the local franchises to develop advertising programs, special promotions and competitive events which will both attract new members as well as retain the existing membership.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
