Who is responsible for ensuring that Fly Fitness coaches attend continuing education or training programs to maintain their personal training certifications?

According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for ensuring that their coaches (and the franchisee or principal, if they are providing fitness instruction) attend any required continuing education or training programs to maintain their personal training certifications. This is to be done at the franchisee's sole expense.

This means that as a Fly Fitness franchisee, you must budget for and manage the ongoing training and certification requirements of your coaching staff. This includes not only the initial certification within 90 days of hiring but also any continuing education necessary to keep those certifications current. The franchisee or principal is also responsible for these requirements if they are providing fitness instruction.

The expense for continuing education and training programs is the sole responsibility of the franchisee. This could impact the profitability of the franchise if these costs are not properly managed. It is important to factor in these costs when projecting expenses and setting prices for Fly Fitness services.
