is under construction. We’ve


got a very detailed support plan


for how to run that business,


and we check in from the


headquarters once a week on


the metrics. We know where


you should be each week.


Likewise, we’ve got a very


disciplined system once the


studio opens; there are


milestones and goals to hit


each week. We know based on


where your studio is geograph-


ically and price point and all


that, what’s good, what’s great,


and what’s not so great


performance. We do a detailed


review after 30 days. And if


there are areas for improve-


ment, here’s the action plan to


get on track for those areas. If


the studio is 100 percent on


track, we’ll wait a quarter and


do it again. If it’s way off track,


within 30 days we come back


with a follow-up and make


sure things get back on track.


All that’s to say, we’ve


never had to close a single


store. Same-store sales have


actually seen almost double-


digit growth this year.


What makes a good


location for an


Orangetheory studio?


We’ve always been very


data-driven. Even when we


were smaller, we spent a lot


of time analyzing the


demographics and psycho-


graphics around where we


wanted to go. What you have


to try to determine is, how


many customers do you need


to be successful in any given
