What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated low-end cost for training expenses is $2,889. This figure covers transportation, lodging, and meals for up to three people attending the Initial Management Training Program. The cost of the Initial Management Training Program itself is included in the initial franchise fee.
These training expenses are incidental costs and are not included in the initial franchise fee. The actual amount a franchisee spends will depend on several factors, including the number of people attending the training, their origin, travel method, accommodation class, and living expenses. The training program lasts for five days, but the estimate does not include employee wages.
Prospective Fly Fitness franchisees should consider these costs when planning their initial investment. It's important to note that these are estimates, and actual costs may vary. Franchisees should factor in potential fluctuations in transportation, lodging, and meal expenses based on their specific circumstances.
