What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Coach Onboarding Fee is currently $125 for each fitness coach. This fee covers the cost of the Coach Onboarding program, which is mandatory for all fitness coaches at a Body20 studio who have not completed the program within the prior two years. The onboarding process includes five days of in-person training and 15 hours of online instruction.
In addition to the Coach Onboarding Fee, the franchisee is responsible for the travel and living expenses incurred by their fitness coaches while attending the training. The FDD also states that some fitness coaches may need additional practice or follow-up instruction, which could cost up to an additional $1,000 per coach. This additional cost is an estimate and depends on the coach's comprehension and readiness.
Furthermore, if the franchisee requests that the in-person portion of the Coach Onboarding be conducted at their studio, they will incur an additional training fee of $1,000 per trainer per day. They will also be responsible for reimbursing Body20 for the travel and living expenses of their trainers. This option provides flexibility but comes with significant additional costs.
Prospective franchisees should factor in these potential training costs when budgeting for their Body20 franchise. It is important to assess the skill level of potential fitness coaches and consider the location of the training to accurately estimate the total cost of Coach Onboarding.
