What makes Degree Wellness different

Every service is delivered in a private, single-guest suite (several with their own shower and vitamin-C shower/aromatherapy amenities) rather than a shared recovery floor — a materially higher build-out-per-service-bay footprint than open-plan recovery studios. The membership is modality-agnostic: one session credit spends on cryotherapy, contrast, cold plunge, infrared sauna, red light, light facial, compression or oxygen, so the studio is not organized around a single hero modality. IV therapy and NAD+ are run as a licensed-technician revenue line layered on top of the membership base, not as the core offer.

Degree Wellness is a boutique self-care and recovery studio brand offering a fixed menu of temperature, light, compression and IV-nutrient services delivered in individual private suites rather than on an open floor. Each location sells monthly memberships that draw from a shared session pool across every modality, plus a separately priced "Advanced Nutrients" IV and injection line. The brand operated as a small affiliate-owned group from 2018 and began selling franchises in 2024; nearly all current locations are franchised, with corporate/affiliate studios concentrated in the Jacksonville, FL home market. Franchising is actively open, sold through third-party franchise-development firms.

units claimed by the brand · as of 2026

2026-08-10 (open locations listed on the brand's own directory that day; 19 additional locations were listed "coming soon") — https://degreewellness.com/locations/ — brand's own locations directory, read 2026-08-10. NOTE the contrast with the FDD: Item 20 of the 2025 FDD reported only 4 total outlets, all company/affiliate-owned and 0 franchised (per FranchisePayback's 2025 FDD summary). The jump from 4 outlets to 50 open plus 19 pending is the brand's post-2024 franchise sell-out arriving; an operator should treat the 50 as an open-studio count, not as a count of mature units.

Franchise availability Open — per the brand's own materials. A status, not an endorsement.

Franchising began in 2024 (multiple third-party listings; consistent with the 2025 FDD Item 20 count of 4 outlets, 0 franchised). As of 2026-08-10 the brand's own directory shows 50 open and 19 coming soon, so the overwhelming majority of open studios are less than two years old and the Item 19 data describes affiliate units only. Buildout timeline, training-program length, and opening-support detail were not published on any source read.

None found. Every location on the brand's own directory (read 2026-08-10) is in the United States.

Reported unit economics (FDD Item 19)

No system-wide AUV is published. The FPR that exists is per-studio, not an average, and it covers affiliate (not franchised) units: per Item 19 as quoted by Franchise FastLane (read 2026-08-10), covering calendar year 2025 — therefore the 2026 FDD, not the 2025 FDD cited above — "3 Affiliate locations (Studios 1, 2 and 3) open all of 2025 out of 4 total Affiliate locations (75%) reported Gross Revenue of $701,377, $521,743, and $581,049 respectively, Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of revenue of 36.6%, 23.8%, and 18% for the investor adjusted net income and 45.1%, 32.8%, and 26.5% for owner-operator adjusted net income for the 2025 calendar year." Two caveats an operator must carry: (a) these are affiliate-owned units in the brand's home market, not franchisee results; (b) the $610,000 "AUV" shown on FranchisePayback and the $616,910 figure on BetterDays are NOT Item 19 disclosures — FranchisePayback itself states the figure is not in the FDD — and are excluded here.

Reported from public sources — named inline where the research records them — not verified against the primary FDD and not advice. Verify Items 5–7, 12 and 19 of the current FDD before relying on any figure. Primary economics source ↗
