Is the transferee required to complete Fly Fitness's Initial Management Training Program?

According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee must agree to complete the Fly Fitness Initial Management Training Program to the Franchisor's satisfaction. This requirement is one of several conditions that must be met before Fly Fitness will approve a transfer of the franchise.

This stipulation ensures that any new operator taking over a Fly Fitness franchise is properly trained in the brand's specific methods and standards. By requiring the transferee to complete the Initial Management Training Program, Fly Fitness aims to maintain consistency and quality across all its franchised locations, regardless of changes in ownership. This protects the brand's reputation and ensures customers receive a similar experience at any Fly Fitness studio.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that if they ever decide to sell their Fly Fitness franchise, the potential buyer will need to undergo and successfully complete the training program. This could impact the pool of potential buyers and the timeline for completing the transfer. It is important to factor in the time and cost associated with this training when considering a future sale of the franchise.
