Franchisor will assess a Training Fee for each trainee for participation in the Pre-Opening Instructor Training, and Franchisee will cover the related costs and expenses associated with all personnel attending and completing the Pre-Opening Instructor Training, including the Fundamentals Training Program. An instructor that has completed the Pre-Opening Instructor Training in its entirety and is authorized to provide Approved Services at Franchisee's Studio is considered an "Authorized Instructor."

During such Pre-Opening Instructor Training, Franchisee will be pay Franchisor's then-current fee for Pre-Opening Instructor Training, which shall cover as many trainees as Franchisee is able to hire prior to Franchisor conducting the Pre-Opening Instructor Training, plus reasonable costs and expenses for the attendance of a head coach provided by Franchisor. Franchisee will also pay Franchisor's then-current fee for the Fundamentals Training Program, which is assessed per trainee, following the opening of the Studio.
Following the opening of the BFT Studio, if any new or additional Authorized Instructors are hired, they will complete the Pre-Opening Instructor Training with a Head Coach, as opposed to a head coach provided by Franchisor. The Fundamentals Training Program will continue to be provided virtually.
