Am I required to purchase a 'Technology & Fitness Equipment Package' from Basecamp Fitness' affiliate?

According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, you are required to purchase a 'Technology & Fitness Equipment Package' from their affiliate. This package includes fitness equipment, various technology systems, computer hardware and software, lighting, and other related components necessary to operate your Basecamp Studio.

In addition to the initial purchase, you will also be obligated to pay a one-time, nonrefundable set-up fee and nonrefundable monthly fees for the technology solutions included in the package. The amounts and payment schedules for these fees will be specified by Basecamp Fitness. It is important to note that the Technology & Fitness Equipment Package does not include all the technology systems you will need, meaning you will have to purchase additional systems separately.

This requirement ensures that all Basecamp Fitness studios maintain a consistent standard of technology and equipment, which helps to protect the brand's image and operational efficiency. However, franchisees should be aware of the ongoing costs associated with the technology package, including the initial purchase, set-up fee, and monthly fees, as well as the need to budget for additional technology systems not included in the package.
