What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering the travel and living expenses for the Body20 trainers assigned to conduct remedial training at their studio. In addition to these travel and living costs, Body20 charges a per diem fee for the remedial training itself. Currently, this fee is $500 per trainer per day, but Body20 retains the right to increase it up to $1,000 per trainer per day.
This means that if Body20 determines a franchisee is not maintaining brand standards, the franchisee will incur potentially significant costs beyond just the daily training fee. Travel expenses could include airfare, car rentals, and fuel, while living expenses cover accommodations and meals. These costs can fluctuate depending on the trainer's location, the duration of the training, and the number of trainers required.
It is important for prospective Body20 franchisees to understand that these remedial training costs are in addition to the initial and ongoing training programs outlined in the FDD. Franchisees should budget for the possibility of needing remedial training and factor in the potential impact on their profitability. Maintaining Body20's standards is crucial to avoid these extra expenses and ensure the studio operates efficiently.
Furthermore, the FDD states that the franchisee is also responsible for the wages and other expenses incurred by their own employees while participating in any additional or remedial training programs. This could include covering their employees' travel and living expenses, as well as their regular wages during the training period.
