According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 8 outlines the restrictions on sources of products and services, stating that all equipment purchased for use in a Basecamp Studio must meet the franchisor's specifications. This obligation directly relates to the equipment financing options, as the franchisee must finance the purchase of equipment that adheres to Basecamp Fitness's standards. Item 5 details the Technology & Fitness Equipment Package, which ranges from $100,480 to $127,430, and states that this amount may be financed through a third party.
Basecamp Fitness requires franchisees to purchase a Technology & Fitness Equipment Package from their affiliate, ProVision. This package includes fitness equipment, technology services, network hardware, and security systems. The specifications for these items are determined by Basecamp Fitness, and franchisees are obligated to meet these standards. The cost of the Technology & Fitness Equipment Package, along with the Technology Set-up Fee of $500 and a monthly Technology Fee of $799, can be significant.
Given the substantial investment required to meet Basecamp Fitness's equipment specifications, the availability of financing options is crucial for prospective franchisees. While the FDD mentions that the Technology & Fitness Equipment Package amount may be financed through a third party, it does not provide specific details about the financing terms, interest rates, or eligibility requirements. Therefore, prospective franchisees should inquire directly with Basecamp Fitness about approved financing providers and carefully evaluate the terms of any financing offers to ensure they align with their financial capabilities and business plan.
