What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Basecamp Fitness FDD, Healthy Contributions (HC) reserves the right to modify the fees and charges for its services without providing prior notice. This policy is outlined in the Healthy Contributions Terms and Conditions of Service, which clients agree to when participating in Fitness Incentive Programs administered by HC.
For a prospective Basecamp Fitness franchisee, this means that the costs associated with HC's services, such as payment processing and program administration for Fitness Incentive Programs, are subject to change at any time. While HC is required to post a monthly report of fees and processing charges on its website, franchisees should be aware that these fees can fluctuate.
If a Basecamp Fitness client objects to a change in fees, they have the option to either alter their payment method (if the payment method is not mandated by the Program Provider) or withdraw from the relevant program. This provides some recourse for clients who are dissatisfied with fee changes, but it also highlights the importance of carefully reviewing the Healthy Contributions Terms and Conditions and staying informed about any updates to the Fee Structure Schedule.
