What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company provides several training programs for franchisees and their staff. The Presale Training is offered at no charge. The Launch Training and the Coaches Training Course each carry a fee of $3,000. These fees are in addition to the franchisee's responsibility for covering all travel and living expenses for attendees of any training programs. The Principal Operator, studio manager, and fitness manager are required to attend the New Franchisee Training, which includes Role Specific Training, Presale Training, and Launch Training.
Before the studio opens, the Fitness Manager and at least three coaches must complete the Coaches Training Course. The Fitness Manager is also required to take the Day in the Life Training, which is currently free but may incur a charge in the future. It is important to note that if the Principal Operator is not also a Principal Owner, a Principal Owner must also attend and complete the training.
These training programs are designed to equip franchisees and their staff with the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully operate a Basecamp Fitness studio. The initial investment table in Item 7 of the FDD includes an estimated cost for travel and training expenses, ranging from $9,150 to $9,825, but this does not include the training fees themselves. Prospective franchisees should factor in these training costs and travel expenses when assessing the overall financial investment required to start a Basecamp Fitness franchise.
