What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, ProVision is an affiliate of the franchisor and is the sole supplier for certain fitness equipment, technology services, technology, network hardware, and security systems. This includes items such as iPads, tablet devices, computers, lighting, audio and video systems, software, point of sale systems, and certain cloud-based technology, all of which are part of the Technology & Fitness Equipment Package that franchisees must purchase to operate a Basecamp Studio.
This arrangement means that franchisees are required to purchase these specific items from ProVision, which is directly linked to the franchisor. This could potentially limit a franchisee's ability to shop around for better prices or alternative equipment. However, it also ensures that the equipment and technology used across all Basecamp Fitness locations are standardized, which can help maintain brand consistency and quality.
In 2024, ProVision received $516,320 in revenue from the purchase, lease, or sale of required goods or services to Basecamp Fitness franchisees. This figure highlights the financial relationship between ProVision and the franchise system. Franchisees should consider this information when evaluating the overall cost of investment and ongoing expenses associated with operating a Basecamp Fitness studio. Understanding the franchisor's relationships with its suppliers is crucial for assessing the potential financial implications and operational requirements of the franchise.
