Marketing and Advertising support: We have a dedicated Marketing team and great partners like Burn Media Co., who help us optimize everything from the music in your gym to social media advertising on a national scale. We provide resources, tools, and guidance to assist our gyms on both a local and national level.
Technology: Burn Boot Camp’s technology platforms are hand-picked by industry experts to be everything you need to run a successful gym. Some examples include Mindbody Business & Franconnect.
Equipment/Real Estate: Burn Boot Camp’s operations support is second to none. We’ve got everything from our top-tier tech platforms to a dedicated field support team that has extensively researched locations and can provide a wealth of data.
Communication for Lead Generation: From the minute you sign your lease, we set up email automations through LoopSpark, our CRM platform, to drive leads into your location at each stage of your grand opening process and beyond. These email and SMS automations are constantly updated with the best copy and visual branding so that you can convert, retain, measure, and grow your Member base.
Communication with Headquarters: Franchisees will have a Franchise Business Coach who will be a point of contact from day one. Your FBC will communicate with you directly and may visit your location to ensure the Grand Opening phase is going smoothly and efficiently and that Franchise Partners are effectively using all support given.
Do you grant exclusive rights to a specific geographic area or are there any limitations on competition from other franchisees?
Upon initially signing the franchise agreement, the Franchise Partner must locate a site for their business within the provided site selection area. Once a lease is secured, we grant you a protected territory determined by population density and/or mileage radius.
Can you provide any pertinent financial performance details that would assist potential franchisees?
Item 19 of the FDD disclosure provides Burn’s financial performance representations. A candidate will receive this information in their diligence process.
