What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fitstop determines the content of any additional training a franchisee may require. Specifically, if Fitstop determines that a franchisee needs additional training, the franchisor will provide this training at their current training fee. The content of this additional training will be set forth and updated in the Manual(s) as Fitstop deems appropriate.
This means that Fitstop franchisees may be required to undergo further training beyond the initial training provided. The need for this additional training can be determined either by the franchisee's request or by Fitstop itself. The franchisee will be responsible for paying Fitstop's then-current training fee for any such additional training.
Fitstop also convenes seminars and supplementary trainings for the network of franchisees whenever they reasonably consider it necessary or appropriate. Fitstop determines the location, agenda, duration, and all procedures and formats of each seminar and supplementary training. The franchisee and their General Manager must attend all seminars and supplementary trainings and are solely responsible for the payment of all fees and costs related to these events.
