    About Tough Mudder Bootcamp

    "Tough

    A new team-based, functional fitness + HIIT workout, perfect for all fitness levels.
    An insanely effective workout every single time, powered by tribe, that pushes you past your limits.

    The total investment necessary to begin operation of a new area representative franchise ranges from $168,200 - $177,750. This includes $152,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliates. The investment range assumes an Initial Area Representative Fee of $10,000 multiplied by 15 Tough Mudder Bootcamp businesses (the franchisor’s current minimum) that you will agree to cause to open in your territory. If you agree to cause more than 15 Tough Mudder Bootcamp businesses to open, your investment and the amount you will pay to the franchisor will increase by $10,000 for each one over 15.
