What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Basecamp Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, additional training for franchisees and their staff can be conducted in a virtual format, at the franchisee's studio, or at another location designated by Basecamp Fitness.
For example, the Coaches Training Course, which the Fitness Manager and a minimum of three coaches must attend, is conducted over 2-3 days and can be virtual, at the studio, or at a location designated by Basecamp Fitness. The Day in the Life Training for the Fitness Manager, lasting 1-2 days, also follows this format. Additional Coaches Training after the studio opens also follows this format.
Vitals Training, intended to keep franchisees current on studio operations, is also conducted either virtually or at a designated location. Relaunch Training, an optional program for existing franchisees, is similarly offered in a virtual format, at the studio, or at a location designated by Basecamp Fitness. This mixed approach to training delivery provides flexibility for both the franchisor and the franchisee.
