What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer seeking to open an additional Fly Fitness franchise must demonstrate specific management skills. The developer needs to show they possess the necessary management skills for competent operation, organization, customer service, and record keeping. The determination of whether the developer has these skills lies solely with Fly Fitness.
This requirement ensures that multi-unit franchisees have the capabilities to successfully manage and operate multiple locations. Fly Fitness retains the right to assess these skills, giving them control over who can expand within their system.
If Fly Fitness determines that the developer does not meet these conditions, Fly Fitness can terminate the agreement. However, the termination of the agreement will not affect the validity of any other agreement between Fly Fitness and the developer, provided the developer is in full compliance with the other agreements.
