What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 22, Section 8, titled "OUR PRE-OPENING AND ONGOING OBLIGATIONS/TRAINING," specifies the sections that detail Basecamp Fitness's pre-opening obligations to the franchisee. These obligations are outlined in Sections 1, 6.A, 7.A, 8.A to 8.G, and 9 of the agreement. This indicates that prospective franchisees should carefully review these sections to understand the franchisor's responsibilities in assisting them before the studio opens.
These pre-opening obligations include consulting services for site selection, providing a prototype floor plan, creating a Compliance Drawing, and requiring the franchisee to retain a designated architectural vendor for Construction Documents. Basecamp Fitness also commits to providing an initial training program for the Principal Operator, Studio Manager, and Principal Owner, covering basic operating skills. The training program may be provided virtually, in-person at the corporate offices, or at another designated location.
Furthermore, the FDD states that the franchisee may not open their Basecamp Studio until Basecamp Fitness confirms in writing that all pre-opening obligations have been fulfilled and the opening date has been approved. Additional pre-opening training is required for the franchisee, Principal Operator, and Studio Manager, as specified by Basecamp Fitness. The Fitness Manager must attend the Coaches Training Course and Day in the Life Training between 45 and 60 days before opening, and at least 3 fitness coaches must complete the Coaches Training Course between 7 and 30 days before opening. These details highlight the structured support and training franchisees can expect from Basecamp Fitness before launching their studio.
