What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body20 Franchise Disclosure Document, Required Trainees must successfully complete Initial Training at least 30 days before the earlier of the date the studio opens or the Opening Deadline. However, Body20 can specify an earlier deadline. Failure to meet this training requirement constitutes an event of default under the Franchise Agreement.
This means that prospective Body20 franchisees and their designated managers must prioritize and successfully complete the initial training program well in advance of their studio's opening. The specific deadline is determined by whichever comes first: the actual opening date of the studio or the pre-determined Opening Deadline set by Body20.
Missing the training deadline can have serious repercussions, as it is classified as an Event of Default, potentially leading to termination of the Franchise Agreement. Franchisees should, therefore, communicate closely with Body20 to understand the specific training schedule and deadlines applicable to their situation and ensure all Required Trainees are adequately prepared to complete the training successfully within the stipulated timeframe.
