  Press release: 50+ gyms live, taking over existing gyms

  A PTI-distributed press release republished by The Week (1 Aug 2025; PTI takes no editorial responsibility) said WTF is bootstrapped, had 50+ gyms live, targeted 100+, claimed zero closures, and described taking over existing gyms on 5-year leases and paying owners fixed rent. This differs from the owner-funded model on the franchise page and from the 260+ figure there; the release is company-supplied and unverified.
