What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Fundamentals Training Program is provided virtually. This program is for both the franchisee and individuals attending the Pre-Opening Instructor Training.
Following the opening of the Bft studio, if new instructors are hired, they will complete the Pre-Opening Instructor Training with a Head Coach, and the Fundamentals Training Program will continue to be provided virtually. This means that franchisees and their staff will need to have access to the necessary technology and internet connectivity to participate in the training.
Bft also provides Pre-Opening Instructor Training, which is typically provided virtually, on-site at another franchisee's Bft studio, or at the studio of one of Bft's affiliates. However, at least a portion of this training, specifically the Fundamentals Training Program, will be held virtually. This hybrid approach allows for flexibility while ensuring that all instructors receive standardized training on Bft's system standards.
