Pros

I have nothing to add here.

Cons

As a former owner of a Yoga Pod, I do not recommend this franchise for anyone! The founders and the leaders at Inc are only in it for themselves and essentially took sign on money from owners (most now bankrupt or who left the franchise because of the lies and inability to provide the turnkey systems promised). Sign on money was used so the founders and main leaders could open their own new studios while offering no clear help or direction to other studios. Yoga Pod was sued by multiple owners and they should be ashamed of themselves for their contributions to the financial ruin of owners they swindled into purchasing the brand. Studio build outs for most were double and even triple what was promised creating an immediate financial hardship and near impossible situation for new small business owners. I trusted the wrong group of people but want others to know what I didn't and stay as far away from this group as possible. Wolves in sheep's clothing as they say. Do not trust the founders in Boulder and do not trust the entities in the Gainsville studio.
