What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total job training time for the initial training program is 85 hours. This training covers various subjects critical to operating a Basecamp Fitness studio, including welcoming new members, fitness marketing, recruiting, vendor portal navigation, setting up accounts, CRM and POS systems, lead generation, sales processes, mobile app usage, and launch training preparation.
The initial training program, also known as New Franchisee Training, is provided to the Principal Owner, the designated Principal Operator, and the studio manager. It begins approximately 120 days before the studio opens and concludes about one week prior to opening. The training may be conducted virtually, in person at the corporate offices in Woodbury, Minnesota, or at another designated location.
Prospective franchisees should note that while there is no charge for the training itself, they are responsible for all travel and living expenses incurred by themselves and their personnel. Additionally, if the Principal Operator is not also a Principal Owner, a Principal Owner must also attend and complete the training. This comprehensive training program is designed to equip franchisees and their key staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully launch and operate a Basecamp Fitness studio.
