Interest rates
Loans approved since October 2023 had a median rate of 10.00% at approval. On variable-rate loans the median was Prime plus 2.5 percentage points.
These are rates at approval. Prime moved during these years, so they are not today's rates. Prime is 7.00% as of Nov 10, 2026.
SBA caps the variable rate by loan size under 13 CFR 120.214(d). For a loan of $288,950, the cap is Prime plus 4.5 percentage points, or 11.50% at today's Prime. The cap is a ceiling, and your lender sets the actual rate.

Opening a first unit or adding one
Lenders usually treat a first unit as a start-up and an owner adding units as an expansion. The two get different questions from a lender.
SBA's rules in brief
SBA counts a business as a start-up when it has been in operation for 1 year or less. A Standard 7(a) or 7(a) Small loan to a start-up requires an equity injectionThe money or assets you put into the deal yourself. of at least 10% of total project costs (SOP 50 10 8.1, Sec. B, Ch. 1, Para. C). Buying an existing unit falls under SBA's change-of-ownership rules (SOP 50 10 8.1, App. 15).
The franchise financing guide covers the rest, each rule with its source.
Of the 149 loans to F45 Training franchisees, 69.1% went to startups, where the loan opens the business. 9.4% went to businesses in operation for more than 2 years. For all 7(a) loans, 16.6% went to startups.
Share of loans. Fewer than 5 means 1 to 4 loans, which are not published.
The file records the age of the business that borrowed. It cannot tell a first unit from an added unit, and its startup category is not SBA's start-up test for equity.

How charge-offs are measured
The group is loans approved from October 2019 to September 2022, the newest loans old enough to have had time to go bad. A loan counts as charged off when the lender wrote it off as a loss, as SBA's file shows through June 30, 2026. How we measure it.
Common questions
Can I get an SBA loan to open or buy a unit of F45 Training?
Yes, if a lender approves you and the brand is eligible. Under SBA rules, a brand that meets the FTC definition of a franchise must be on the SBA Franchise Directory to obtain SBA financing (SOP 50 10 8.1, Sec. A, Ch. 1, Para. G). SBA's file records 149 loans to F45 Training franchisees from October 2019 through June 2026. That is history, not a current listing. Check the SBA Franchise Directory, then ask your lender.
Does this page say whether F45 Training is a good investment?
No. This page reports what SBA's loan file shows. A loan to a brand's owners is not a rating of the brand. SBA says a Directory listing is not an endorsement or a guaranty of the brand's success (SOP 50 10 8.1, Sec. A, Ch. 1, Para. G). Ask the brand for its franchise disclosure document and talk with current owners before you sign.
How to read this
Counts come from SBA's 7(a) loan-level data release, as of June 30, 2026. The file lists loans SBA approved. It does not list declined applications, so it cannot show approval odds. We do not publish any figure built on fewer than 5 loans. Franchise is the brand SBA recorded on the loan. Express counts SBA Express and Export Express loans. Cancelled loans are not counted. Business age is the answer recorded on the loan. How we build these pages.
