About Burn Boot Camp
Burn Boot Camp franchise FAQ
How much does it cost to open one — the total initial investment?
The total estimated initial investment to develop the first Business is not a fixed amount but varies based on several factors [p.32, p.110]. It includes the Development Fee (which covers costs like technology systems and buildout expenses) less the Initial Franchise Fee, plus additional costs such as exercise equipment, marketing, and staffing [p.50, p.110]. This isn't specified in the excerpts for a single fixed figure.
What is the initial franchise fee?
The initial franchise fee for a single franchise is $60,000 and is nonrefundable [p.17, p.28]. This fee is payable in full upon signing the agreement and is considered fully earned by the company [p.110].
What are the ongoing royalty and advertising fees?
The Franchisee pays a Royalty Fee of 6% of total Gross Revenues for each Report Period [p.111], which is due by the specified day during each Report Period for the immediately preceding Report Period [p.26]. Additionally, there is a System Brand Fund contribution equal to 2% of Gross Revenues, with a maximum of 3% in any calendar year [p.26], which also aligns with Royalty Fee payment terms [p.111]. These fees are used for ongoing technology, new equipment and product development, and advertising/marketing programs [p.111, p.269].
How long is the initial franchise agreement, and can I renew it?
The initial franchise agreement term is five years, and you have the option to renew it for up to two additional terms of five years each, provided certain conditions are met [p.269]. Your renewal rights depend on satisfactory performance and full compliance with the agreement; otherwise, Franchisor may refuse to renew [p.109].
Can I sell or transfer my franchise, and what does that require?
According to the FDD, you can transfer ownership of your franchise, but it requires good cause for the franchisor to refuse such a transfer [p.5]. Additionally, if there is a partial transfer of ownership interests without constituting a change in control, it is not subject to a transfer fee [p.155]. However, full transfers require payment of a $12,500 transfer fee unless otherwise specified.
On what grounds can the franchisor terminate the agreement?
The franchisor can terminate the agreement on any grounds available by law [p.220, p.223]. Additionally, the franchisor has the right to reject a proposed purchase of the franchise business if the proposed transferee has taken on too much debt or if the terms would burden the prospective transferee [p.155]. The franchisor also retains the ability to terminate for certain defaults by the franchisee, such as failing to achieve specific revenue targets after operating for at least two years [p.107].
What financial requirements — net worth and liquid capital — do I need to qualify?
The FDD does not specify exact net worth or liquid capital requirements for qualification [p.10, p.154]. However, you must have adequate financial resources and capital to operate the Business, and you should be able to cover your living expenses for at least 6 months without relying on franchise-related income [p.31, p.154].
Do I get an exclusive or protected territory?
No, you do not receive an exclusive territory. Your territory is protected in terms of where you can establish your business, but you may face competition from other franchisees, outlets owned by the company, or other competitive brands [p.58]. This isn't specified in the excerpts for marketing exclusivity or clientele exclusivity [p.59].
What training and ongoing support does the franchisor provide?
The franchisor provides access to education and training programs, including ongoing support via phone and email during regular business hours [p.133]. Additionally, the franchisor will continue to consult with and advise franchisees free of charge on various aspects such as marketing, operations, and product approvals [p.133]. Franchisees must staff specific roles like Lead Trainer and Operations Manager who need to complete relevant training programs [p.117]. The franchisor may also require additional or advanced education at their discretion, with associated fees [p.147].
How many franchised outlets are there, and how many have closed or been terminated?
As of December 31, 2025, there were 395 opened and operational outlets. After excluding certain outlets, 307 outlets (the 'Reporting Outlets') remained. None of the excluded outlets closed after being open for less than a year, but the number specifically terminated or cancelled is not provided in these excerpts. [p.78]
Does the franchisor share any financial performance or earnings information?
The franchisor may provide actual records of an existing outlet if purchased, but generally does not make financial performance representations. The franchisor can supplement the information provided in Item 19 under certain conditions [p.78]. Additionally, the franchisor is required to share results from various satisfaction and compliance verification programs with the franchisee [p.120], though this does not pertain directly to earnings or financial performance.
What am I restricted to selling, and where must I buy supplies?
You are not specifically restricted to what you can sell, but your sales must comply with the territory rules; you may sell services and products anywhere as long as they do not result from targeted marketing outside your designated territory. For supplies, you may have to purchase or lease items from the franchisor or a limited group of suppliers that the franchisor designates, which could be more expensive than other options [p.3]. Additionally, if you want to buy new source-restricted items from non-approved suppliers, you need to request approval and provide necessary information for testing and quality assurance [p.34].
