What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly Fitness may require franchisees to enter into software license agreements. These agreements would be in the form that Fly Fitness requires for software it develops or acquires for use in its system. The franchisee is responsible for the expense of these agreements.
This means that as a Fly Fitness franchisee, you may be obligated to use specific software chosen or created by Fly Fitness for your business operations.

This ensures franchisees stay connected with the Fly Fitness system and adhere to the brand's technology standards.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the costs associated with these technology requirements, including software licenses, hardware, and internet access. Franchisees should inquire about the specific software used in the Fly Fitness system, the typical cost of licensing agreements, and the minimum hardware and internet requirements to ensure they can meet Fly Fitness's standards.
