IRVINE, CA – Lindora, a leading provider of medically-guided weight loss and metabolic health solutions, announces that its recently launched franchise opportunity and fueled expansion efforts have commenced with multi-unit licenses awarded in key markets across the nation, including Dallas, Boise, Rochester, Buffalo, Atlanta, Chicago and Portland.
Following its acquisition by Xponential Fitness, Lindora has franchise agreements with owners from diverse backgrounds including technology, software development, real estate, marketing and sales, personal training, and finance. This broad adoption underscores the appeal of the investment opportunity, aligning with Xponential’s overarching network of owners.
Founded in 1971 in Southern California, Lindora has established itself as a trusted brand in the health and wellness industry improving many lives across millions of client visits. With 31 locations offering innovative services such as weight management programs, weight loss medications, hormone replacement therapy, IV hydration, and more, Lindora is well-positioned to expand its reach through franchising, in the projected $400 billion global weight management industry 1, across the United States as an Xponential brand.
“We are thrilled to offer health-minded entrepreneurs the opportunity to become part of the Lindora family,” said Lou DeFrancisco, President of Lindora. “The brand’s proven approach to metabolic health and wellness, paired with the support and expertise of Xponential, will set our franchise partners up for success in delivering impactful solutions that empower individuals to live healthier lives while addressing the growing consumer demand for comprehensive health and wellness offerings.”

Led by a core team of health and wellness industry experts, including Lou DeFrancisco, Martin Balcaitis, Cheri Tennill and Jeff Stokes, Lindora is backed by executive talent committed to excellence in the health and wellness space.

With a diversified platform of 10 brands spanning fitness and wellness verticals, Xponential is committed to making boutique fitness and wellness programs accessible to everyone.
Prospective franchisees do not need a medical background to own a Lindora clinic; rather, Lindora is seeking franchise partners who possess a passion for the brand’s mission of promoting health and wellness and have business or management experience. As part of Xponential’s portfolio of brands, Lindora franchise partners will be able to leverage Xponential’s established brand reputation, comprehensive training and support, and access to a network of experienced professionals. Initial investment for a Lindora clinic ranges between $272,350 to $491,750.
