Burn Boot Camp's Item 8 approved-supplier list covers exercise equipment, computers, iPads, sound systems, furniture, and signage, sourced from the franchisor, its affiliates, or approved third parties. Its affiliate, Burn Retail, is currently the only approved supplier for branded apparel, nutritional supplements, and equipment purchased after opening. The initial franchise term is 10 years, and Item 17 offers a 10-year renewal conditioned on full compliance throughout the initial term, a renewal fee, current education and qualification requirements, and upgrading the facility to then-current standards.
