What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee in default of any provision of the Franchise Agreement is not eligible to have an instructor approved for Head Coaching. Bft is not obligated to approve any franchisee request to send an Authorized Instructor to Head Coaching if the franchisee is in default of any provision of the agreement.
To have an Authorized Instructor become a Head Coach, the franchisee must request that the instructor attend and complete the "Head Coach" course provided by Bft's head coach. This course is designed to provide the Authorized Instructor with additional instruction necessary to provide Pre-Opening Instructor Training.
In addition to not being in default, the franchisee must also pay Bft its then-current Training Fee in connection with any Head Coaching provided. This fee is referred to as the "Head Coaching Fee."
