What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere strictly to the approved construction plans and mandatory specifications. Franchisees must get written consent from Basecamp Fitness before making any changes to the building plan, design, layout, decor, equipment, or signage. These changes must also comply with the mandatory specifications.
If a Basecamp Fitness studio is not constructed according to the approved plans and mandatory specifications, Basecamp Fitness may not approve the franchisee to open for business. In this case, the franchisee has 30 days from the date of disapproval to correct all construction problems to meet the approved plans. Failure to correct the issues within this 30-day period may result in immediate termination of the Franchise Agreement.
Furthermore, any delays in opening the Basecamp Fitness studio due to construction issues or any other reason will be the franchisee's responsibility, including any associated losses or costs. The franchisee cannot open the Basecamp Fitness studio until all problems are resolved to Basecamp Fitness's satisfaction. If the time to correct the issues extends past the Required Opening Date, the franchisee still only has until the Required Opening Date to correct the problems.
