According to Bft, what standards must the Studio and all fitness equipment be maintained in?

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the studio and all fitness equipment must be maintained in accordance with the System Standards. This means that franchisees must adhere to the standards established and updated by Bft regarding the condition and upkeep of the studio and its equipment.

This requirement ensures uniformity and quality across all Bft locations, which helps to protect the brand's reputation. Franchisees are responsible for promptly repairing or replacing any defective or obsolete equipment, signage, fixtures, or any other interior or exterior item that needs repair, refurbishing, or redecorating. These standards are established and updated by Bft.

Bft also has the right to inspect and assess all aspects of the studio's appearance and operations to ensure compliance with the agreement and System Standards. This includes inspecting the premises, fitness equipment, and facilities. Franchisees must also modernize or remodel the studio when requested by Bft, potentially including replacing fitness equipment and gear, though this will occur no more than once every 5 years.

Maintaining these standards is crucial for attracting and retaining customers, as well as upholding the brand image of Bft. Failure to comply with these standards could result in penalties or termination of the franchise agreement.
