What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific standards to maintain their franchise agreement. Bft may assess a studio's compliance through methods like inspections, visits, surveillance, feedback, and secret shoppers. Franchisees must meet minimum standards for cleanliness, equipment condition, repair, function, and customer service.
In addition to studio standards, Bft requires that franchisee employees, including independent contractors, meet minimum standards for courteousness and customer service.
Bft also sets a Minimum Monthly Gross Sales Quota. Franchisees must achieve and maintain trailing 12-month average monthly Gross Sales of $15,000 by the first anniversary of the Studio's Soft Opening. By the second anniversary, franchisees must achieve and maintain trailing 12-month average monthly Gross Sales of $20,000 and each successive anniversary. Failure to meet these sales quotas may result in a mandatory corrective training program, which the franchisee must participate in at their own expense. Failure to meet the Minimum Monthly Gross Sales Quota during any trailing 36-month period, regardless of participation in corrective training, may result in the termination of the Franchise Agreement.
