What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a developer signs a Multi-Unit Development Agreement, they will only receive initial training for the first franchise location. For each subsequent Fly Fitness location, the developer acknowledges that they will not receive any further initial training from Fly Fitness.
Fly Fitness believes that the initial training provided is sufficient for the developer to successfully construct, equip, open, and operate all subsequent franchise locations within the designated Development Area. This waiver of training applies to all additional Franchise Agreements executed after the initial agreement.
This implies that Fly Fitness expects multi-unit developers to become proficient in the Fly Fitness system after the initial training. Prospective developers should assess their ability to manage and operate multiple units with the knowledge gained from the initial training program. It is important for developers to consider whether additional support or training for staff will be needed to ensure consistent operations across all locations.
