What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Peter Pisani is the athletic director for North America. This means his responsibilities and supervision of the Initial Training Program are specifically designated within the North American region. As of the issue date of the FDD, Peter Pisani has been with the Fitstop brand and system since August 2022 and has over 12 years of experience in the franchised business industry and the topics of instruction.
For prospective franchisees, this indicates that the initial training they receive in the United States will typically be supervised by someone with experience in the brand and the broader franchise industry. However, Fitstop retains the right to appoint and substitute other individuals to assist in providing training, ensuring that all training personnel have at least one year of experience in the subjects they teach.
