What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Launch Training fee is $3,000. This fee is in addition to other training programs that Basecamp Fitness requires. The Principal Operator, studio manager, and potentially a Principal Owner must attend New Franchisee Training, which includes Role Specific Training, Presale Training (free of charge), and Launch Training.
In addition to the Launch Training, the Fitness Manager and a minimum of three coaches must attend the Coaches Training Course, which also costs $3,000. The Fitness Manager is also required to take the Day in the Life Training, for which Basecamp Fitness currently does not charge a fee, but may in the future.
It is important to note that franchisees are responsible for covering all travel and living expenses for all attendees during these training programs. These training costs, along with the Launch Training fee, should be factored into the overall initial investment when considering a Basecamp Fitness franchise.
