Before the opening of your Basecamp Studio, we provide an initial training program ("Initial Training Program") also referred to as "New Franchisee Training" to the Principal Owner, the person you designate as the "Principal Operator" of your Basecamp Studio and your studio manager. This training begins 120 days before your Studio opens and concludes approximately one week prior to opening. It includes: (1) Role Specific Onboarding (training for studio managers, coaches and front desk staff); (2) Presale Training (training for executing sales in the period prior to opening); (3) Launch Training (training in studio operations for the period up to and immediately following opening); and (4) Coaches Training (training for coaches to deliver the Basecamp workout experience). New Franchisee Training may be provided in a virtual format, in-person at our corporate offices in Woodbury, Minnesota, or at another location designated by us, at our discretion. The training is held on an as needed basis to accommodate demand. There is no charge to you for this training, but you are responsible for all travel and living expenses you and your personnel incur in attending the training. In addition, if your Principal Operator is not also a Principal Owner, then a Principal Owner of your business must also attend and complete this training to our satisfaction before your open your Basecamp Studio.
