What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Required Trainees, which include the franchisee (or the Operating Principal if the franchisee is an entity) and the Designated Manager, must successfully complete Initial Training at least 30 days before the earlier of two dates: the date the Body20 studio opens, or the Opening Deadline. The franchisor retains the right to specify an earlier deadline for completing the training.
Failure to meet this training deadline constitutes an event of default under the Franchise Agreement. This means Body20 could take action against the franchisee if the training is not completed on time. The franchisee is responsible for ensuring all Required Trainees attend and successfully complete the training within the specified timeframe.
If the Required Trainees do not successfully complete the Initial Training, they must repeat the training or the franchisee must send replacement Required Trainees. The franchisee is responsible for all costs associated with repeating or replacing trainees. The Franchise Disclosure Document states that the initial franchise fees will not be refunded, even if the training is not successfully completed. This highlights the importance of ensuring that the individuals selected for these roles are capable of meeting Body20's training standards and deadlines.
