What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally required to maintain continuous operation of their studios. However, there are specific exceptions to this rule. Basecamp Fitness can terminate the Franchise Agreement if a studio fails to operate for seven consecutive days.
The agreement states that this seven-day operating requirement is waived only if the failure to operate is due to specific, unavoidable events. These events are explicitly limited to fire, flood, or acts of nature.
This means that a Basecamp Fitness franchisee must ensure their studio remains open and operational every day, barring unforeseen circumstances like a natural disaster. Failure to do so could result in the termination of their franchise agreement.
