Does Anytime Fitness, LLC guarantee Basecamp Fitness' obligations under the Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Basecamp Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, SEB Franchising Guarantor LLC guarantees the obligations of the franchising entities. Anytime Fitness, LLC is identified as an affiliate of Basecamp Fitness, but the document does not state that Anytime Fitness, LLC guarantees Basecamp Fitness' obligations under the Franchise Agreement.

Instead, the FDD specifies that SEB Franchising Guarantor LLC provides this guarantee. This means that if Basecamp Fitness Franchisor LLC fails to meet its obligations, SEB Franchising Guarantor LLC is legally bound to fulfill them. This arrangement offers a level of financial security to franchisees, as another entity is vouching for the franchisor's performance.

A prospective franchisee should confirm with Basecamp Fitness whether SEB Franchising Guarantor LLC is still the guarantor and review the specifics of the guarantee agreement. Understanding the guarantor's financial strength and the scope of their guarantee is crucial for assessing the overall risk of investing in a Basecamp Fitness franchise.
