You may accept business and inquiries from prospective and existing members and customers (each, a "Member") via your Franchised Business, provided you: (i) only provide the Approved Services and Approved Products at and from the Premises, unless we agree otherwise in a separately-signed agreement; and (ii) do not market the Franchised Business or otherwise solicit any potential customers or members outside of your Designated Territory.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally required to provide services at and from the approved premises. However, there is an exception.
The FDD states that a Fitstop franchisee may provide approved services and products outside of the approved premises if Fitstop agrees to it in a separate, signed agreement. This provides some flexibility, but it is not guaranteed.
This means that while the standard Fitstop franchise agreement focuses on a fixed location, there is a mechanism to allow for providing services at other locations if both the franchisee and Fitstop agree. A prospective franchisee should discuss with Fitstop what types of off-premises services might be considered and under what conditions Fitstop would grant such an agreement.
