What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Basecamp Fitness can make available additional training that they deem advisable to familiarize franchisees and their management teams with changes and updates in the System.
Basecamp Fitness can also require franchisees to undergo additional training if they are not meeting Basecamp Fitness's requirements, if Basecamp Fitness determines additional pre-opening or post-opening assistance is required, or if Basecamp Fitness determines that it is necessary to provide additional assistance to keep the System competitive. This includes on-site studio operations and member experience training, as well as training on any topics Basecamp Fitness considers vital to operations.
Franchisees are responsible for paying Basecamp Fitness's then-current fee for such additional training programs, plus the cost of travel, lodging, and meals. These training sessions may be conducted live or via the Internet. This means that franchisees should budget for ongoing training expenses in addition to the initial training fees. The obligation to participate in additional training ensures that all Basecamp Fitness locations maintain consistent standards and adapt to system-wide changes, but it also represents an ongoing cost for the franchisee.
