What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wants to purchase, lease, or use equipment, supplies, services, or other items from a supplier not already approved by Fly Fitness, they must first get written approval from Fly Fitness.
As a condition of granting approval, Fly Fitness may require an inspection of the potential supplier's facilities. They might also evaluate and test the items or services that the franchisee is proposing to use.
Fly Fitness reserves the right to charge the franchisee for the actual costs associated with any inspection and testing of the unapproved supplier or their products. This means that the franchisee could incur additional expenses if they choose to deviate from Fly Fitness's approved supplier list.
