Studios are established and operated under a comprehensive design that includes spacious interior, a significant number of exercise equipment/apparatuses, specifications, and procedures for operations; quality customer service; management and financial control; training and assistance; and advertising and promotional programs (which we call our "System"). The System's standards, specifications and procedures (collectively, the "System Standards") are described in our confidential learning management system, which includes electronic versions of manuals and written policies and procedures related to the development and operation of Studios (as we may collectively refer to as, the "Learning Management System"). The System and the Learning Management System, and their various components, may be modified, discontinued, and further developed in our discretion.
