3, 2021, both the Rosslyn Studio and the Ballston Studio operated at 50% capacity due to the pandemic. Starting on June 3, 2021, both the Rosslyn Studio and Ballston Studio returned to, and continue to operate at, full capacity. Following the COVID-19 pandemic-related shut down, BASH initially began offering free online training courses via Instagram Live. These courses were available to members and non-members alike. Where there are no restrictions on the number of people allowed inside a fitness studio, a BASH Studio is not expected to be limited in any material way in its operations.

The vendor opportunity at BASH Boxing

BASH Boxing operates 4 total units — 1 franchised and 3 company-owned — according to the 2024 FDD. The operator footprint shows 1 mapped operator across 1 located unit, with Minnesota as the top state (1 unit). For software vendors, this is a small, early-stage system where a single deal with the franchisor can cover the entire network.

The FDD makes a financial performance representation in Item 19. The filing does not provide a system-wide average unit volume figure.

Who controls software purchasing

Purchasing authority sits at the franchisor level. Item 11 requires franchisees to install, use, maintain, update, and replace computer systems and required software according to the franchisor's standards, at the franchisee's expense. The franchisor may also develop or have developed for it other computer software programs or accounting system software, which franchisees must install and maintain. This means the franchisor's leadership team — not individual franchisees — sets the technology agenda.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required

Item 11 of the FDD sets the technology requirements. The filing states that franchisees must install, use, maintain, update, and replace the computer system and required software at their expense. It also states that franchisees must install and maintain any other computer software programs or accounting system software the franchisor may develop or have developed for it, according to the franchisor's standards. No specific third-party POS or operational software systems are named in the filing.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 uses a specifications-only supplier model. Franchisees must operate in strict conformity with the franchisor's methods, standards, and specifications. The franchisor has the right to designate only one supplier for certain items, but is not presently the only approved supplier for any required purchases. Franchisees may propose a supplier for approval. The franchisor and its affiliates currently do not derive revenue from approved suppliers based on franchisee purchases, but reserve the right to do so in the future.

Initial franchise terms are 10 years. Renewal terms are 5 years each, subject to conditions including timely written notice, refurbishment to then-current standards, compliance with the agreement, payment of a renewal fee, execution of a general release, and compliance with then-current personnel and training requirements. With only 1 franchised unit, renewal-driven software evaluations will be infrequent; company-owned units may adopt tools at HQ's discretion.
