Hydrogen Fitness offers a structured training program designed to ensure consistent operation and brand standards across its franchises. The training includes multiple formats and is mandatory for franchisees and key personnel before opening a franchised location. The programs are outlined below:
Hydrogen Fitness offers a form of territory protection to its franchisees through the designation of a “Designated Territory.” As long as the franchisee remains in compliance with the Franchise Agreement, the franchisor agrees not to establish or license another Hydrogen Fitness location within that defined territory.
The size and boundaries of this territory are typically determined based on zip codes, geographic landmarks, and demographic factors, and are specified in Attachment A of the agreement.
However, the protection is limited. The franchisor and its affiliates retain broad rights to operate or license other businesses under different names, even within the franchisee’s territory, and may also distribute similar or competitive services through other channels such as online sales or mail order.
