If requested by Pump It Up, is a franchisee obligated to assist in training other franchisees?

According to the 2025 Pump It Up Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to assist in training other Pump It Up franchisees if requested by the company. If a franchisee provides such assistance, Pump It Up will reimburse the franchisee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the training.

This means that as a Pump It Up franchisee, you might be called upon to help train new franchisees. While this isn't mandatory, it's something Pump It Up can request. If you agree to help, Pump It Up is obligated to cover your reasonable expenses. This could include travel costs, accommodation, or other direct costs you incur while providing the training.

This arrangement can be beneficial for experienced franchisees, as it offers an opportunity to contribute to the Pump It Up system and potentially offset some business expenses. However, franchisees should carefully consider the time commitment and potential disruption to their own business before agreeing to provide training assistance. It's also important to document all expenses thoroughly to ensure proper reimbursement from Pump It Up.
