Trevor Tice
Co-Founder — CycleBar

Background
Co-founder of CycleBar. Deceased. CycleBar was acquired by Xponential Fitness and scaled as a core brand in the boutique fitness roll-up portfolio. Pre-acquisition franchise agreements and earnings claims made under the founders' model serve as baseline documents for comparing against post-acquisition FDD representations during the FTC investigation period.
RS Index Analysis
RS = ((O + C + I) / 30) × 100 = 16.7Tice co-founded CycleBar as a premium indoor cycling studio concept. The franchise model built during his founding period used performance benchmarks and studio economics that XPO subsequently repackaged into FDD representations the FTC found deceptive. The gap is between the original studio concept and the franchise sales claims made after XPO's acquisition.
Tice's public founder identity projects CycleBar as a premium wellness concept — which is accurate for the original studio. The consistency gap is between that original model and the franchise economics XPO sold under the same brand identity. Tice is not documented as being involved in XPO's post-acquisition franchise sales practices.
Trevor Tice is deceased. No current accountability exposure exists; immediacy score reflects this. The documented legacy is the brand he created, which subsequently became the vehicle for XPO's highest-default franchise program.
Legacy Artifact — Tice's CycleBar concept is a Legacy Artifact in the accountability network. The founder and his original model predate the accountability context; the harm documented in this index was produced by the institutional machinery that scaled his concept after his death.
RS Index — Audit Glitches
1 documentedDeceased founder — franchise model lived on: CycleBar as Trevor Tice designed it was a premium cycling studio concept. Post-acquisition, XPO scaled the franchise with sales practices the FTC found deceptive. The brand's documented 22–28% SBA default rate and ghost license accumulation occurred under XPO's franchise model. Note: Tice is deceased and cannot respond to accountability documentation.
