What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the option to renew their franchise agreement for an additional five-year term, provided they meet specific conditions. The initial term for a Basecamp Fitness franchise is six years. To be eligible for renewal, the franchisee must provide written notice of their intent to renew at least 210 days before the end of the current term.
In addition to providing timely notice, the franchisee must be in full compliance with all agreements with Basecamp Fitness and its affiliates. This includes ensuring there have been no repeated or abnormal defaults, whether or not they were previously resolved. The franchisee is also responsible for renovating and re-equipping their Basecamp Studio to meet the current standards and image of the Basecamp Fitness system. This may involve updating or replacing signs, equipment, furnishings, fixtures, and decor.
Furthermore, the franchisee must pay a renewal fee of $5,000 at least 15 days before the initial term expires. They must also sign the standard franchise agreement then in use by Basecamp Fitness within 30 days of receipt, paying the renewal fee instead of the initial franchise fee. The terms of the renewed agreement may differ from the original, potentially including higher fees or modifications to the protected territory. The franchisee must also prove they have the right to remain at the Franchised Location for the renewal term, unless Basecamp Fitness deems the location unviable, in which case the renewal may be conditional on securing a new, approved site. Finally, the franchisee's management staff must complete any required refresher training at least 30 days before the expiration of the initial term, and the franchisee must sign a general release of claims against Basecamp Fitness.
