BFT taps into the popularity of functional and strength training and elevates these functionalities by combining elements of personal training with group exercise instruction, built to deliver results at every fitness level. Progressive programming periodized over eight to 10 weeks allows members to recover properly while attending classes an average of four to five times per week. Classes incorporate scientifically proven training techniques aimed at reducing fat and creating lean muscle, as well as state-of-the-art technology including proprietary heart rate monitors. By combining cardio with resistance programs across 13 workouts, members benefit from training a different energy system and different muscle types every week to diversify movement patterns. Unique to BFT, every class is led by two to three highly accredited coaches to help members achieve health goals in a safe and inclusive environment.

To continue its domestic and international expansion, BFT is actively seeking qualified franchise partners, offering entrepreneurs the chance to capitalize on a popular fitness modality. With a total investment of $362,700 – $548,600, BFT provides a sound business opportunity along with a wealth of support, infrastructure and knowledge from the Xponential Fitness team, which also supports nine additional boutique fitness brands, including Club PilatesPure BarreCycleBarStretchLabYogaSixRow HouseRumbleSTRIDE Fitness, and AKT.
