Who is required to attend and complete the initial training for a Bft franchise?

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several individuals are required to complete specific training programs before engaging in activities related to the operation of a Bft studio. The franchisee themselves, or their Operating Principal, typically attend the Initial Training Program. If the franchisee or their Operating Principal will not be on-site to manage day-to-day operations, they must appoint a Designated Manager who is responsible solely for the studio's operation. This Designated Manager must attend and complete the Designated Manager Training Program.

Furthermore, any individual who wishes to provide fitness instruction or any of the other Approved Services at the Bft studio must first complete the Pre-Opening Instructor Training. The studio must have at least one individual who has completed the Pre-Opening Instructor Training on-site at the studio at all times when any Approved Services are being provided.

Failure to ensure that required personnel successfully complete the applicable training before the studio's soft opening may result in Bft terminating the franchise agreement. Bft also reserves the right to terminate the agreement if the franchisee permits Approved Services to be provided by any individual who has not completed the Pre-Opening Instructor Training. Franchisees must ensure that any Pre-Opening Instructor Training held at the Studio is performed in accordance with System Standards and that all participating individuals successfully complete the program and pass any associated tests.
