What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor has the sole discretion to determine whether a franchisee has satisfactorily completed the initial training program. This initial training is a 5-day program that the franchisee (if an individual) or all owners (if the franchisee is a business entity) and the general manager must complete before opening their Fly Fitness franchise.
This means that Fly Fitness has the authority to decide if the franchisee and their general manager have met the required standards during the initial training. If Fly Fitness determines that the training is not satisfactorily completed, the franchisee may need to undergo additional training or take other steps to meet the franchisor's requirements.
This provision underscores the importance of the initial training program and the franchisor's commitment to ensuring that franchisees are adequately prepared to operate a Fly Fitness studio. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the specific criteria used to evaluate satisfactory completion of the training to fully understand the franchisor's expectations.
