What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must keep their studios open to the public during the hours that Body20 prescribes from time to time in the manuals or otherwise approves in writing. These hours are subject to any prohibitions by applicable laws or the site lease for the studio premises.
This means that Body20 has the authority to set the minimum operating hours for each studio, and franchisees must adhere to these hours unless there are legal or lease-related restrictions. This ensures consistency across all Body20 locations and allows Body20 to control the customer experience.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that they will have limited flexibility in setting their own operating hours. They should carefully review the Body20 manuals and any other communications from the franchisor to understand the specific requirements for their location. It would be prudent to discuss operating hour expectations with Body20 during the due diligence process to fully understand the commitment involved.
