If purchasing an existing Bft Studio, when must all required training be completed?

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are purchasing an existing Bft studio, all required training must be completed prior to your takeover of the operations of the studio. This means that before you officially take over the Bft studio, you, or your Operating Principal if you are an entity, and your Designated Manager (if applicable) must complete all necessary training programs to Bft's satisfaction.

This requirement ensures that new owners and managers of existing Bft studios are adequately prepared to maintain the brand's standards and operational procedures. Completing the training beforehand allows for a smoother transition and ensures that the studio continues to provide the expected level of service and quality to its members.

While Bft does not specify a particular deadline for completing the training, it is crucial to coordinate with Bft to schedule and finish the training programs well in advance of the planned takeover date. This will help avoid any delays in the transfer of ownership and ensure compliance with Bft's franchise agreement.
