Iron BodyFit Franchising Inc. grants franchisees a Designated Territory, usually a one-mile radius or an area covering 50,000 people. Within this territory, no other Iron BodyFit studio will be opened by the franchisor or another franchisee, as long as the franchisee complies with the agreement.
However, Iron BodyFit reserves the right to sell products online, advertise nationally, and open locations in special venues like airports or malls. The franchisor may also accept orders within the territory through various sales channels without compensating the franchisee, limiting the scope of exclusivity.
