What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a No Show Fee is incurred if certain conditions related to scheduled on-site visits or training programs are not met. Specifically, this fee, which currently ranges from $500 to $1,000 depending on the trainer or the actual costs of rescheduling (whichever is greater), is charged if a franchisee cancels, fails to attend, fails to have the appropriate parties attend, or fails to stay for the entire program.
To avoid this fee, the franchisee must provide Basecamp Fitness with at least two weeks' notice of their inability to attend a scheduled on-site visit or training program. Failure to provide the required notice will result in the No Show Fee being assessed. The FDD also notes that Basecamp Fitness may increase this fee in the future, but it will not exceed $1,500, or the actual costs of rescheduling travel, whichever is greater.
This fee is designed to cover the costs incurred by Basecamp Fitness when franchisees do not show up for scheduled events without adequate notice. It incentivizes franchisees to provide timely notification of any changes in their plans, allowing Basecamp Fitness to adjust schedules and minimize losses. Franchisees should be aware of this policy and ensure they provide sufficient notice to avoid incurring the fee.
Prospective Basecamp Fitness franchisees should carefully note the conditions under which the No Show Fee is applied and factor this potential cost into their financial planning. Understanding the notification requirements and potential fee amounts can help franchisees manage their expenses and maintain a positive relationship with the franchisor.
