What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Coaches Training Course has two completion deadlines depending on who is taking the training. The Fitness Manager must complete the Coaches Training Course and Day in the Life Training 45 to 60 days before the studio is expected to open. A minimum of three coaches must complete the Coaches Training Course 7 to 30 days before the studio is expected to open.
Basecamp Fitness requires these trainings to be completed before the studio opens to ensure that staff is adequately prepared to deliver the fitness programs and services. The staggered deadlines suggest that the Fitness Manager receives more in-depth training earlier in the process, while the coaches receive their training closer to the opening date, possibly to ensure the information is fresh and relevant.
Prospective franchisees should note that the cost for the Coaches Training is $3,000, which is nonrefundable and due before the training. Additionally, the franchisee is responsible for all travel and living expenses incurred by themselves and their personnel while attending the training. This financial commitment should be factored into the overall startup costs for a Basecamp Fitness franchise.
