Item 19
What Basecamp Fitness franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Revenues
$370,177
Basecamp Fitness' 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the entire 12 month period ended February 28, 2025 (the “Relevant Time Period”). Basis: franchised Basecamp Studios.
Sample size: 16 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross revenues of $426,115. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest outlets; the median is the middle outlet.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- We excluded 3 franchised Basecamp Studios from the data set that opened on or after March 1, 2024 and therefore did not operate for the entire Relevant Time Period.
- We excluded 1 affiliate-owned Basecamp Studio from the data set as it permanently closed during the Relevant Time Period. This Studio had been open for more than 12 months before closing.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Basecamp Fitness outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
