What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must prominently display signs, both inside and outside their studios, that conform to Basecamp Fitness's specifications regarding form, color, number, location, size, and the inclusion of designated marks. Franchisees are also responsible for securing all necessary permits and licenses for these signs, ensuring they comply with all applicable laws and ordinances.
Furthermore, Basecamp Fitness retains control over the signage and advertising displayed at the studio. Franchisees are prohibited from displaying any sign or advertisement that Basecamp Fitness objects to. This ensures brand consistency and adherence to the company's marketing standards.
Prior to construction, franchisees must purchase a "Build-Out Package" from Basecamp Fitness that includes signage. Franchisees must use only the signs that Basecamp Fitness has approved. This package is ordered through an online portal, and the payments for these items are nonrefundable and due at specified times. This requirement ensures that all signage meets the franchisor's standards and contributes to a consistent brand image across all locations.
