How we rank
Google average rating
The mean of each location's lifetime Google rating across a brand's network. Treats every studio as one vote — big networks don't drown out small ones.
Review volume
Total Google reviews across the network, plus a reviews-per-location read so a single busy flagship can't carry the headline number.
Minimum thresholds
A brand needs at least 5 rated Australian studios and 100 total Google reviews to qualify — enough sample to compare fairly without one flagship studio carrying the score.
Category confidence
Each brand is auto-classified into a fitness sub-category (pilates, CrossFit, boxing, yoga...) with a confidence score; low-confidence rows are flagged.
Continuously refreshed
Classification is mid-rollout across ~2,000 franchise brands. We re-pull the leaderboard weekly so new brands appear as they're tagged.
Source: Google Maps / Business Profile data collected and rolled up by Franchise Digital's Data Hub. Rankings exclude networks with fewer than 3 Australian locations or 50 total Google reviews. Independent — TrialSession does not accept payment to alter rankings.
