05FAQ
Straight answers.
How much does a SLAM franchise cost?
About ₹1.28 crore in total for a 5,000 sq ft studio in Chennai, including the ₹5.9 lakh franchise fee, equipment, interiors and launch costs. Final figures depend on your city and space.
What is the royalty?
A fixed ₹50,000 a month — it does not grow with your revenue, so planning is simple.
How much space do I need?
SLAM's model is based on about 5,000 sq ft.
When can I expect to break even?
With SLAM's year-1 assumptions (110 memberships a month at ₹12,000), monthly profit is about ₹6.7 lakh (₹6,67,500), so the ₹1.28 crore investment is fully recovered in the 20th month (₹1,28,05,000 ÷ ₹6,67,500 = 19.2 months). Use the calculator to try your own numbers.
Do I need gym experience?
No. SLAM trains your team and supports operations; you need commitment, the space and the investment.
