What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an Indiana Addendum modifies the standard franchise agreement for franchises located in Indiana. Specifically, it addresses the non-compete clause in Section 17.B of the agreement.
For Basecamp Fitness franchisees in Indiana, the non-compete restriction lasts for two years following the transfer, expiration, or termination of the Franchise Agreement. During this two-year period, the franchisee is prohibited from being involved, directly or indirectly, with any business offering interval training classes or high-intensity guided workouts within the Protected Territory. This includes activities such as owning, operating, leasing, franchising, or assisting such a business as an employee, consultant, partner, or in any other capacity.
This restriction is designed to protect Basecamp Fitness's business interests and prevent former franchisees from using the franchisor's confidential information and training to compete against the system within a defined geographic area after they leave the franchise network. Prospective franchisees in Indiana should carefully consider the implications of this non-compete clause, especially if they plan to remain in the fitness industry after their franchise agreement ends.
