1.In the tables for "Studios contributing to AUV" and "Studios contributing to same store
sales," please clarify for us and in your disclosures whether studios you consider to have
temporary suspension of operations are included in these tables and are included in
computing the respective dollar amounts for "AUV (LTM as of period end)," "Quarterly
AUV (run rate)," and "Same store sales." If they are not included, explain to us and
disclose the rationale for their exclusion.

2.In your description of "Studios No Longer Operating" on page 38 you state when a studio
deemed to be no longer operating subsequently generates sales at a future date it re-enters
the operating studio count (and the number of studios no longer operating is reduced).
Please clarify for us and disclose whether the effect of these studios are included in the
computation of "AUV (LTM as of period end)," "Quarterly AUV (run rate)," and "Same
store sales." If they are not included, explain to us and disclose the rationale for their
exclusion.

3.Refer to your response to comment 1. For clarity, please disclose you consider studios no
longer operating to be permanently closed.
4.In your your response to comment 1 it appears you equate studios with lack of revenue for
less than nine months as a "temporary suspension of operations." In your response to prior
comment 2 you state these studios remain in the operating category. You also state in the
response to prior comment 2 the number of studios not generating revenue for a period of
less than nine consecutive months that were included in the number of
opened/operated/operating at the end of each period presented generally represents less
than 5% of all opened/operated/operating studios reported for each period. To give further
clarity to investors of your studio counts, please state that the reported amounts for studios
operated at beginning/end of periods wherever presented include studios considered by
you to be temporarily suspended and indicate the number of these studios included.
5.Please disclose your definition of what you consider to be studios with suspended
operations. Also, state in the definition of "Number of Studios Operating" that these
studios include studios you consider to have temporary suspension of operations.
6.Refer to your response to comment 2. Please clarify for us and disclose whether studios
with suspended operations of less than nine months are deemed as no longer operating
immediately upon determination by a franchisee or you to no longer operate the studio or
if you wait nine months before deeming the studio as no longer operating.
7.Refer to your response to prior comment 4. You state you define an operating studio as
one holding at least one class in a month and generating some amount of revenue during
the reported period. You also state you will not treat a studio as operational without
sufficient evidence of an ongoing or new business with memberships and regular
classes. It is not clear from these statements how a studio generating sporadic, nominal
and/or inconsistent revenue for a period is characterized in the studio count tables in your
filings. Please clarify and reconcile these two statements for us and clarify the relevant
tabular presentations and studio definitions in your filing as appropriate.
