What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Sales: Sales Timeline & Process classroom training is 1.0 hours for the Owner/Operator Training Module and 0.5 hours for the Designated Manager Training Module. This training takes place at Bft's headquarters in Irvine, CA, or at a location to complete training virtually.

For a prospective Bft franchisee, this means that they, or their Operating Principal, will spend 1 hour in classroom training on the Sales Timeline & Process. If they appoint a Designated Manager, that manager will spend 0.5 hours in classroom training on the Sales Timeline & Process. This training is part of the broader Initial Training Program that Bft requires franchisees and their managers to complete before the studio's soft opening.

It is important to note that the training location is either at Bft's headquarters or virtually, offering some flexibility. The FDD also mentions that training classes are not held on a regular schedule, and Bft will schedule the program based on the franchisee's and their own availability, as well as the projected opening date for the studio. This could mean that franchisees need to be prepared to adjust their schedules to accommodate Bft's training schedule.
