The model, plainly
- €30,000 contribution for a turnkey studio estimated at €200,000.
- Everything is included in that amount : the fit-out, the furniture, the full layout, the EMS machines and the training equipment.
- The premises and the lease are carried by the franchisor. You have no site search and no lease negotiation to handle.
- Fixed royalty of €2,000 per month, with no percentage of turnover.
- About twelve weeks between signing and opening.
- Estimated turnover: around €240,000 after twelve months and €300,000 after twenty-four months. Indicative estimate, non-contractual and not guaranteed.
- A pre-contractual information document is handed to you before any commitment, in accordance with Belgian law.
What the franchisees say
Two minutes with those who opened a studio: why they took the leap, how the start went, what they'd do differently. It's the best glimpse of a franchisee's real day-to-day.
The figures shown are orders of magnitude observed across the network and are not a guarantee of results. Each project is subject to an individual financial plan.
Daniel Camus,
founder
Seventeen years of professional football, then a strength-and-conditioning coach. That's where he comes across electrostimulation, used by clubs and elite athletes, and decides to make it something other than a privilege reserved for an elite.
- The first studio opens on 1er novembre 2016, dans un local de l'avenue Stalingrad à Bruxelles.
- Ten years later, the network has nearly thirty studios in Belgium, four in Spain, two in the Netherlands and 4,500 members.
- Training stays in-house. The BTS Academy trains the network's coaches and prepares their EMS certification.
- So does compliance. The studios apply the DIN 33961-5 standard, the one that governs EMS practice.
“We want to make Belgium the European hub for EMS.”
