Initial Training: The franchisor provides initial training in operating a PickUp USA Fitness Club before opening.
Brand Standards Manual: Franchisees receive and are trained on a detailed Brand Standards Manual, which outlines operational procedures and is updated periodically.
Pre-Sale Marketing Support: Training includes assistance with marketing efforts to pre-sell memberships.
Ongoing Operational Guidance: After opening, the franchisor offers continuous advice and support on business operations.

Territory Protection
PickUp USA Franchise Company, LLC offers its franchisees an exclusive territory once the location of the fitness club is finalized. This territory does not follow a fixed radius but is based on market conditions and must include a population base of at least 50,000.
The franchisor commits not to open or license any other PickUp USA Fitness Club within this designated area, provided the franchisee is in good standing with the franchise agreement.
The exclusivity, however, applies only after a specific location is approved. If the franchisee signs the agreement before securing a site, the franchisor may assign a general area for site selection, which does not guarantee exclusivity.
