The studio business

Your stretching and fitness studio

A studio focused on women: group and personal training, memberships and individual sessions. Stretching, aerial classes, Pilates and functional training. The disciplines are selected to suit your audience, space and team.

The business is built around regular classes and customer relationships. The owner and local team manage sales, service and day-to-day operations.

TOPSTRETCHING has been developing since 2014. Anna Kanyuk is the founder and the face of the brand. The central TOPSTRETCHING team prepares and supports franchise partners.

Questions and answers

What is the total cost of opening?

The full budget includes the franchise fee, premises, fit-out, equipment, opening preparation and working capital. The amount depends on the city and condition of the space. There is no single minimum budget for all studios: we review each project individually.

Can I open several studios or develop a region?

Yes. Projects with several studios or territory development are discussed separately: the terms depend on the territory, the number of studios and the opening schedule.

Can fitted-out premises reduce the investment?

Suitable premises with an existing fit-out may reduce renovation costs. We first review the layout, building services, class requirements and local permits, then determine what can be retained.

What type and size of premises do I need?

Requirements depend on the number of rooms and disciplines. The layout, ceiling height, ventilation, access and supporting facilities all matter. The premises should be approved for the project before you sign a lease.

Can my existing studio join TOPSTRETCHING?

This possibility is discussed separately. We review the premises, team and current operations, then agree the required changes, budget and transition terms.

Do I need to be a trainer or have fitness experience?

You do not have to teach classes yourself. You need an involved owner or manager and a suitable team of trainers. Training under the franchise programme is included in the package; daily studio management remains your responsibility.

Who hires the staff?

The owner hires, pays and manages the local team. The central TOPSTRETCHING team provides training within the agreed scope. Recruitment and preparation responsibilities are defined before launch.

Who handles marketing and customer acquisition?

The local advertising budget, sales and customer relationships are the studio’s responsibility. Materials, the central team’s involvement and pre-opening activities are agreed as part of the project.

How is Anna Kanyuk involved?

Anna is the founder and the face of the brand. The central TOPSTRETCHING team supports the partner. Personal posts, shoots or a visit by Anna are discussed separately and included only if agreed.

Will I have city exclusivity?

The territory and any exclusivity are agreed for the specific project and recorded in the contract. An enquiry does not reserve a city; the availability of rights is checked before an agreement is signed.

How long does it take to open?

Timing depends on the premises, fit-out, local permits and team readiness. Following the project review, we create a schedule with stages and responsibilities.

What revenue and payback period can I expect?

For the specific location, we review a financial model covering prices, attendance, class occupancy, rent, staffing and marketing. We consider several scenarios and their assumptions. Actual results depend on the market and studio operations; income and a payback period cannot be guaranteed in advance.

What payments continue after opening?

The royalty starts from 5% of turnover; the rate is set in the contract. CRM terms are part of your individual offer. The studio also covers its operating expenses. The full list of mandatory payments and calculation rules is agreed before signing.

What is the contract term, and can I transfer the studio to another owner?

The term, renewal, termination and business transfer conditions are discussed alongside the territory and recorded in the agreement. Before signing, you receive the terms for your specific location.

What happens after I enquire?

The team contacts you through your chosen channel. We discuss your city, starting point and questions. If useful, we arrange a call and request information about the premises. An enquiry does not commit you to purchasing a franchise.
