What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fitstop may require a franchisee and their Designated Manager to attend additional training courses annually, or remedial training, if Fitstop deems it necessary. This decision is at Fitstop's sole discretion.
These additional training courses, referred to as "Additional Training" or "Remedial Training," may be required as part of the actions necessary to correct a default under the Franchise Agreement. For any Additional or Remedial Training that the franchisee and their employees attend, Fitstop may require the franchisee to pay a Training Fee, which is currently $500 per trainer per day.
The franchisee is also responsible for covering all expenses incurred while attending the Additional or Remedial Training. This could include travel, accommodation, and other related costs. This highlights the importance of adhering to the Franchise Agreement to avoid defaults that could lead to required remedial training and associated costs.
