Source: FDD Item 11
Is my market available?

This is a genuine ground-floor opportunity, national expansion is just beginning, backed by two thriving, proven model locations in New York, so most of the country is still open territory, and once your Designated Territory is set, no other Hydrogen Fitness location will be placed inside it for as long as you're in compliance.

Source: FDD Item 12
Do I qualify?

Yes, you just designate an Operating Principal owning at least 20% or an approved Key Manager to be on-site supervising operations, both completing Hydrogen's training program.

Source: FDD Item 15
What ongoing fees do I pay (royalty % and marketing/brand fund %)?

A lean 4% royalty on Gross Revenue, plus a 2% Brand Fund Contribution that fuels marketing working for your location.

Source: FDD Item 17
Are financing options available?

Owners typically arrange their own financing, such as an SBA or commercial construction loan, given the scale and quality of this premium buildout.

Source: FDD Item 10
Do I need employees, or can I run this solo?

You'll build a full staff to run classes, the front desk, and the hydro bar, with your Additional Funds budget covering payroll through your first 3 months as you build your team.

Source: FDD Item 7
Can I own multiple territories or units?

Yes, through a Development Agreement covering 3 to 10 locations, with each additional location's franchise fee stepping down to as low as $34,000, making multi-location ownership increasingly efficient as you scale.

Source: FDD Item 5

Hydrogen's two established New York locations posted $2,202,594 and $1,774,451 in Gross Revenue for 2025, with projected EBITDA of $351,206 and an even stronger $579,327 respectively, real proof of what this premium model can achieve.

What's the exit strategy - can I sell the franchise later?

When you're ready, Hydrogen offers one of the more franchisee-friendly exits in the portfolio, holding no right of first refusal, so you're free to find your own buyer subject to standard approval.

Source: FDD Item 17
Do I need a physical location, or is this home-based/mobile?
