What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly Fitness provides franchisees with construction criteria and specifications for a Fly Fitness location. These specifications include design and layout. The franchisee is responsible for incorporating these criteria into the construction of the Franchised Business.
Fly Fitness also retains the right to inspect the Franchised Business. According to the FDD, Fly Fitness can conduct inspections of the Franchised Business and evaluate the services rendered and products sold whenever reasonably determined by Fly Fitness.
While the FDD states that Fly Fitness provides construction criteria and has the right to inspect the Franchised Business, it does not explicitly state whether Fly Fitness conducts on-site inspections during the construction or remodeling phase. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Fly Fitness whether these inspections extend to the construction and remodeling phases to ensure compliance with their standards and specifications from the outset.
