What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering all travel and living expenses incurred by their attendees during any required training programs. This includes costs for items such as airfare, hotel accommodations, and meals.
Specifically, the FDD includes an estimated initial investment line item for "Travel & Training Expenses" which ranges from $9,150 to $9,825. This estimate is meant to cover these travel and living costs as they are incurred during the training period. These expenses are paid to "Us, Airlines, hotels, restaurants," indicating that payments will be made to Basecamp Fitness and also directly to travel and lodging providers.
Prospective franchisees should factor these expenses into their initial budget. It's important to note that these costs are in addition to the $42,500 initial franchise fee and other training fees, such as the $3,000 Launch Training fee and the $3,000 Coaches Training Course fee. Therefore, franchisees need to carefully plan for these out-of-pocket expenses to ensure they can adequately support their team's participation in the necessary training programs.
Understanding these financial responsibilities upfront will help franchisees avoid unexpected costs and ensure a smooth launch for their Basecamp Fitness studio.
