Selling a CorePower Yoga Franchise

Fitness & Yoga Franchise Resale & M&A Advisory for CorePower Yoga Owners

By Mercedes Shaffer, Managing Director | Highwater Partners

Selling a CorePower Yoga franchise is a specialized transaction that requires fitness-industry expertise, disciplined valuation, and national buyer exposure. Boutique fitness and yoga studios operate on a membership-driven model where recurring revenue, instructor quality, brand standards, and studio economics are closely evaluated by buyers, lenders, landlords, and the franchisor. Experienced M&A representation is essential to protect value and ensure a successful transaction.

At Highwater Partners, we specialize in franchise resale and M&A advisory across fitness, wellness, health, and lifestyle sectors, representing CorePower Yoga franchise owners nationwide. We advise owners on single-studio sales, multi-unit portfolio exits, and strategic divestitures, delivering a professional, highly structured process designed to maximize value and reduce execution risk.

True to our name, Highwater Partners serves clients at the highest level, combining disciplined execution with senior-level advisory and deep respect for the responsibility of representing an owner’s business.

Why Selling a CorePower Yoga Franchise Requires Specialized M&A Expertise

CorePower Yoga franchise resales involve category-specific and operational considerations, including:

• Franchisor approval and formal transfer requirements

• Buyer net worth, liquidity, and fitness or studio-operating experience

• Instructor recruitment, retention, and class utilization metrics

• Membership revenue stability, retention, and churn analysis

• Class mix, studio capacity, and schedule optimization

• Lease assignment, landlord consent, and boutique fitness real estate economics

These factors directly affect valuation credibility, buyer qualification, financing, and transaction timelines. A general business broker may understand service businesses—but a fitness and yoga franchise M&A advisor understands CorePower Yoga.

How CorePower Yoga Franchises Are Valued

CorePower Yoga franchise valuations are driven by recurring membership revenue, studio-level cash flow, and operational consistency, not gross revenue alone.

Key valuation considerations include:

• Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA

• Active membership base and retention trends

• Average class utilization and instructor costs

• Ancillary revenue (retail, workshops, premium classes)

• Lease terms, rent ratios, and remaining option periods

• Owner involvement versus manager-led studio operations

• Brand compliance and anticipated reinvestment

At Highwater Partners, we apply M&A-grade financial normalization and valuation methodologies, ensuring the business is positioned credibly for qualified buyers and lenders.
