In the Enlightened Armadillo, Inc. lawsuit, what pre-sale disclosure violations are alleged against the defendants related to Body20?

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) for Body20 mentions a lawsuit, Enlightened Armadillo, Inc., et al. v. Yoga Six Franchise, LLC, et al., filed on November 22, 2023. However, Body20 is not a party to this lawsuit. The plaintiffs in this case, who are Yoga Six franchisees, allege that the Yoga Six defendants violated pre-sale disclosure obligations under the California Franchise Investment Law.

Specifically, the Yoga Six franchisees claim that the Yoga Six defendants failed to provide a compliant Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). They also allege that the Yoga Six defendants made statements that were either erroneous or prohibited and failed to disclose information that the franchisees believe should have been disclosed. These allegations form the basis of the pre-sale disclosure violation claims in the lawsuit.

It is important to note that Body20 states explicitly in its FDD that it is not affiliated with Xponential and that these lawsuits do not involve Body20 or its affiliates. The information is disclosed because Lindsay Junk, Body20's Chief Executive Officer, previously served as Brand President of Y6, and Anthony Geisler, the Chief Executive Officer of Sequel Brands, previously served in the same role for Xponential and various subsidiaries of Xponential. One or both of them have been named as defendants, along with other officers and employees of Xponential, in lawsuits involving Xponential and its affiliates, which involve similar claims and allegations.

Prospective Body20 franchisees should be aware of this litigation involving Yoga Six and the allegations surrounding pre-sale disclosure violations. While the lawsuit does not directly involve Body20, it highlights the importance of thorough due diligence and understanding of franchise disclosure documents before investing in any franchise.
