What is the Fantasy Claw Arcade franchise?

Fantasy Claw Arcade franchise, a unique entrant in the specialized fitness sector, officially launched its franchise model in 2022. At its core, this brand specializes in inclusive pole fitness and movement classes, meticulously designed to blend strength, flexibility, and dance. The foundational mission, "every BODY belongs," champions body positivity and community-driven experiences, distinguishing the brand within the health and wellness landscape. Vertica Fitness Franchising, Inc., the legal entity, was established as an Arizona corporation in April 2022, with headquarters noted in Tucson and Oro Valley, Arizona. The concept originated in 2014 when founder Katrina Wyckoff opened her first pole studio, which evolved into Vertica Fitness in 2022, subsequently offering the franchise opportunity. Wyckoff's distinguished background includes winning the USPSF National Championship in 2017, serving as a TAFISA World Games delegate in 2016, and being elected President of the US Pole Sports Federation in 2020, lending significant credibility to the brand's curriculum. The comprehensive offerings include memberships, fitness classes, private lessons, choreography, skill-based pole training, and branded merchandise, ensuring multiple revenue streams and catering to diverse client needs. This unique positioning allows the Fantasy Claw Arcade franchise to tap into a growing demand for specialized, experiential fitness options that prioritize holistic well-being and a supportive environment.

The broader fitness industry currently experiences robust expansion, fueled by escalating health consciousness and a pronounced consumer shift towards boutique fitness studios over traditional gyms. Within this dynamic environment, pole sports are identified as one

Why Fantasy Claw Arcade Doesn't Appear in Public SBA Data

The SBA 7(a) program publishes loan-level data for every approved franchise borrower. Fantasy Claw Arcade does not currently appear in those public records — and that absence carries useful information for prospective franchisees evaluating this brand.

Likely explanations for the absence

  • The brand is relatively new (founded 2024, 2 years ago). Newer franchise systems typically take 3–5 years to generate enough SBA 7(a) volume to appear in published data.
  • With under 25 units system-wide, transaction volume is small enough that any SBA activity could fall below the reporting visibility threshold in any given fiscal year.

Absence from SBA records does not mean a brand is un-fundable. It typically means the franchise system uses alternative capital sources, or that current franchisees self-fund, secure conventional bank financing, or roll over equity from a prior business sale rather than going through an SBA-guaranteed 7(a) loan. For prospective Fantasy Claw Arcade franchisees, the practical question is which financing path actually closes for this brand's profile.

Data window: SBA 7(a) approvals reported through the most recent FOIA release. Absence of Fantasy Claw Arcade from this window does not reflect lender denial — it reflects no 7(a)-program activity recorded for this brand in the public dataset.
