What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee (Assignor) assigns their rights, title, and interest as a tenant to Fly Fitness Franchise, L.L.C. (Assignee) under the lease. The franchisee must not allow any surrender, termination, amendment, or modification of the lease without Fly Fitness's prior written consent.

In the event of a default by the franchisee under the lease or the franchise agreement, Fly Fitness has the right to take possession of the premises and expel the franchisee, who will then have no further rights to the lease. The landlord agrees to notify Fly Fitness of any franchisee default and allows Fly Fitness the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default within 30 days.

The landlord consents to the conditional assignment, agreeing to recognize Fly Fitness as the tenant if Fly Fitness takes possession and confirms the assumption of the lease, provided Fly Fitness cures any non-monetary defaults within 30 days. Fly Fitness can further assign the lease to another party reasonably acceptable to the landlord, after which Fly Fitness will have no further liability under the lease. If the franchisee fails to maintain the premises after the termination of the Franchise Agreement or Lease, Fly Fitness is permitted to enter the premises to repair any damage without being guilty of trespass.
