What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a monthly membership fee in exchange for using the company's Marks, Intellectual Property, and System. As of April 1, 2025, the monthly membership fees in the United States vary based on the franchisee's tier: $1,395 for the Professional, Legacy, and Emeritus Tiers; $1,495 for the Certified Tier; and $1,695 for the Expert Tier. These fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
The document states that Eos Worldwide retains the right to increase the Membership Fee with thirty days' written notice, but no more than once per calendar year, and any single increase will not exceed $200 per month during the franchisee's current term. If a franchisee requests and is approved for a different tier, they will begin paying the Membership Fee for the new tier in the following month.
The Membership Fee is payable monthly in advance, starting on the first day of the month of the franchisee's scheduled Boot Camp. This payment continues each month thereafter. If a franchisee does not sign up for a Boot Camp within the initial 6-month period from the agreement's effective date, the Membership Fee will begin on the first day of the month following that 6-month period, unless the franchise is terminated. If a franchisee signs up for a Boot Camp but fails to attend, the Membership Fee will still begin on the first day of the month of that scheduled Boot Camp, regardless of attendance or completion of a subsequent Boot Camp.
