What is considered a reasonable fee for training programs charged by Fly To Fit Franchise?

According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly To Fit may charge a reasonable fee for any required training programs the Principal Executive or other employees must complete after opening their franchise. The FDD also states that if a franchisee sends an employee to Fly To Fit's training program after opening, Fly To Fit may charge its then-current training fee. As of the date of the Franchise Agreement, this fee is $350 per day.

This means that beyond the initial training provided to the Principal Executive and one additional team member before opening, Fly To Fit franchisees should anticipate potential costs for ongoing training of themselves or their staff. These costs can vary depending on the length of the training program and the number of employees requiring training. The franchisee is also responsible for covering all travel, living, and other expenses if the training program is held at a location that requires travel.

Prospective Fly To Fit franchisees should consider these potential training expenses when budgeting for their franchise. It's important to clarify with Fly To Fit what types of training programs are typically required post-opening, how frequently they occur, and the estimated cost per employee. Understanding these factors will help franchisees better plan for and manage their ongoing operational costs. Franchisees should also inquire whether there are alternative training options, such as online courses, that could potentially reduce travel and accommodation expenses.
