What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for the travel and lodging costs associated with the Day in the Life Training. The Fitness Manager is required to attend this training, which lasts 1-2 days and must be completed 30-45 days before the studio is expected to open. The training may be conducted virtually, at the franchisee's studio, or at another location designated by Basecamp Fitness.
While there is currently no cost for the Day in the Life Training itself, Basecamp Fitness retains the right to charge for it in the future. This means that a prospective franchisee should factor in potential training fees in addition to the travel and lodging expenses for their Fitness Manager.
Franchisees should confirm with Basecamp Fitness whether the training will be virtual or require travel to budget accordingly. It is also important to clarify if there are any anticipated changes to the training fees to accurately assess the costs associated with this required training program.
