Can a Fly Fitness franchisee engage in any other business that competes with the Fly Fitness franchised business, Fly Fitness itself, or other Fly Fitness franchisees?

According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are restricted from engaging in any business that competes with their Fly Fitness franchise, Fly Fitness itself, or other Fly Fitness outlets, whether inside or outside their designated territory. This restriction is in place to protect the Fly Fitness system and brand integrity.

Specifically, a Fly Fitness franchisee must offer and sell all products and services that are part of the Fly Fitness system, including any future additions. They are prohibited from using Fly Fitness's trademarks for any other business and cannot operate any other business from the franchised location.

This non-compete clause is a standard practice in franchising, designed to prevent franchisees from diverting resources or knowledge gained from the Fly Fitness system to competing ventures. It ensures that the franchisee's focus remains solely on growing their Fly Fitness business and upholding the brand's standards. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this restriction and ensure they are fully committed to the Fly Fitness business model before investing.
