What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Conference Fee is due when you register for the conference. The fee is currently $439 for early registration, but increases to $659 if paid at the conference. Basecamp Fitness may increase this fee up to a maximum of $1,500 per registration.
The FDD states that if a Principal Owner, defined as someone owning 10% or greater interest in the Basecamp Studio, does not register for a conference, Basecamp Fitness will bill the franchisee for the "early bird" minimum conference fee after the conference.
This means that even if a franchisee chooses not to attend the conference, they may still be responsible for paying the minimum conference fee. Franchisees should factor in the cost of the conference fee, which can range from $439 to $1,500, into their budget when considering a Basecamp Fitness franchise.
