What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Head Coach" course is provided by Bft's head coach. This course is designed to provide Bft's Authorized Instructors with additional instruction, enabling them to become head coaches who can then provide Pre-Opening Instructor Training.
If a Bft franchisee wants one of their Authorized Instructors to conduct Pre-Opening Instructor Training at their studio, that instructor must first complete the "Head Coach" course. However, Bft is not obligated to approve any franchisee's request to send an instructor to this training.
To be eligible for the "Head Coach" course, the Bft franchisee must not be in default of any provision of the Franchise Agreement. Additionally, the franchisee is required to pay Bft the then-current Training Fee associated with the Head Coaching. Once the Authorized Instructor completes the program and is approved as a Head Coach, Bft will provide written notice that the Head Coach can provide Pre-Opening Instructor Training at Bft studios.
