How XPO Inc.
Failed Everyone

The Sales Promise

XPO Inc. operated or franchised multiple fitness and lifestyle brands. The pitch was compelling: join a proven system, receive world-class support, leverage national brand recognition, and build a profitable business. Franchise disclosure documents promised financial performance. Sales representatives painted optimistic pictures. Franchise owners signed and wrote checks.

Total investment requirements varied by brand and market, but routinely ran from $200,000 to over $1,000,000 — much of it borrowed. These were not casual purchases. These were life decisions.

The Operational Reality

Once signed, franchise owners encountered a different company. Technology platforms that were promised as operational infrastructure either failed to function as described or were never delivered. Lead generation support evaporated. Training programs fell short of what the franchise disclosure documents indicated. Corporate escalation channels consistently failed to produce resolution.

Owners who had invested everything were left operating with inadequate tools, insufficient support, and dwindling hope — while continuing to pay royalties and fees to XPO Inc.

The Closures

Across 2023 and 2024, a wave of closures rippled through XPO Inc.’s franchise portfolio. Owners shuttered locations, forfeited equipment, broke leases, and walked away from investments that had consumed their savings and their families’ financial security.

Many report that XPO Inc. offered no meaningful remediation, no wind-down support, no acknowledgment of the gap between what was promised and what was delivered.

What Has Happened Since

The record has been built — and it has produced results. In March 2026, the Federal Trade Commission reached a $17 million consent orderagainst Xponential Fitness Inc. (XPO Inc.) for violations of the Franchise Rule. This is a formal federal enforcement finding that XPO Inc.’s franchise disclosures did not meet legal requirements. The agency whose entire mandate is to protect franchise owners reviewed the same pattern of conduct that coalition members documented here — and acted.

For investors and shareholders, the story is parallel. XPO Inc. (XPOF) presented a growth narrative to public markets that did not reflect the operational reality inside its franchise network. When the closures accelerated and the FTC moved, the stock collapsed. Multiple securities class action law firms — including Pomerantz LLP, Levi & Korsinsky, and Bragar Eagel & Squire — are actively pursuing claims on behalf of investors who purchased XPOF shares during the relevant period.

The FTC action strengthens the evidentiary foundation for every private legal claim in this pipeline — both franchise and securities. Hagens Berman continues to pursue the franchise owner class action alongside the investor track.

This site exists to make the record permanent — so that even if sources go offline, the documentation survives. The truth is already on the record. Now it needs to reach every franchise owner and investor who is owed recourse.
