What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee must ensure that the Initial Trainee Team participates in and completes the Initial On-Site Training. This training is provided around the time of the Franchised Business's soft opening. The Initial Trainee Team includes the franchisee's management and initial staff of Authorized Instructors.
Fitstop emphasizes the importance of completing all required initial training to the franchisor's satisfaction. Failure to do so may lead to a default on the Franchise Agreement, and if the default is not resolved, it could result in the termination of the agreement.
Fitstop typically does not provide Initial On-Site Training until the franchisee demonstrates that they have secured a Certificate of Occupancy for their Premises and have taken all necessary steps to open the Franchised Business to the public. This condition ensures that the training is relevant and can be immediately applied to the operational setup of the Fitstop location. The training program is subject to change without notice to reflect updates in the materials, methods and Manuals, as well as changes in personnel. The subjects taught and the time periods allocated for each subject may vary based on the experience of the people being trained.
