What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2023, there were a total of 21 Basecamp Fitness outlets. This number includes both franchised and company-owned locations. Specifically, there were 16 franchised outlets and 5 company-owned outlets operating at the close of 2023.
For a prospective franchisee, this information provides insight into the growth and composition of the Basecamp Fitness system. The increase from 14 total outlets at the start of 2023 to 21 by year's end indicates a period of expansion for the brand. The fact that franchised locations make up the bulk of this growth suggests that Basecamp Fitness relies heavily on its franchisees to expand its footprint.
It's important to note the distinction between franchised and company-owned outlets, as this can reflect the franchisor's strategy and priorities. A higher number of franchised locations might mean more opportunities for franchisees, but it could also mean less direct control by Basecamp Fitness over individual locations. Conversely, a greater proportion of company-owned stores could indicate a preference for direct management and potentially higher initial investment from the franchisor.
Overall, the outlet numbers for 2023 suggest a growing franchise system with a strong emphasis on franchised locations. Prospective franchisees should consider these figures in the context of the brand's overall growth strategy and their own preferences for operating within a franchise system.
