What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing the costs of on-site remedial training. Specifically, if Fly Fitness determines that on-site remedial training and assistance are appropriate for a franchise location, the franchisee must cover all associated costs.
These reimbursable costs include the trainer's per diem fee, which is the daily rate charged for their services, as well as all travel-related expenses. Travel expenses encompass transportation, meals, and lodging for the trainer during the period of on-site training.
This means that in addition to any fees Fly Fitness might charge for the training itself, the franchisee will also bear the financial burden of getting the trainer to their location and accommodating them. This could potentially be a significant expense, especially if the franchise location is far from the trainer's base of operations or if the training period is extended.
