What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the fee for Optional Additional Training Programs is due within 10 days of receipt of an invoice. The amount of this fee varies based on the specific program.
This means that if a Body20 franchisee chooses to participate in optional training programs for themselves or their employees, they will receive an invoice from Body20 and will have 10 days to pay the invoiced amount. The cost of these programs can vary, but the FDD states that it will not exceed $3,000 per attendee per program.
It is important to note that Body20 does not charge for training programs that they require franchisees or their employees to attend, with the exception of third-party training or certification programs and the Initial Training and Coach Onboarding. Franchisees should factor in the potential costs of these optional programs when budgeting for ongoing training and development.
