What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to participate in additional training programs throughout the term of the Franchise Agreement. These additional training programs are intended to familiarize the franchisee and their management team with changes and updates in the Basecamp Fitness system.
Basecamp Fitness may require additional training if the franchisee is not meeting requirements, if additional pre-opening or post-opening assistance is required, or if Basecamp Fitness determines that it is necessary to provide additional assistance to keep the system competitive. This includes on-site studio operations, member experience training, and training on any topics Basecamp Fitness considers vital to operations. For these additional training programs, the franchisee must pay Basecamp Fitness's then-current fee, plus the costs of travel, lodging, and meals. These trainings may be conducted live or via the Internet.
In addition to fees for additional training, if a franchisee or their personnel teach a fitness class before successfully completing the Coaches Training Course when required, the franchisee must pay Basecamp Fitness a fee of $2,000 on demand. Of this amount, $1,500 will constitute the fee for Basecamp Fitness to perform a coach certification course. This fee is in addition to any of Basecamp Fitness's other rights and remedies and may be charged each time this occurs.
