What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard franchise fee for opening a single unit is $65,000. This fee is a lump sum payment due when you sign the Franchise Agreement. The FDD states that this fee is generally non-refundable.
It is important to note that this fee applies to a standard single-unit franchise. The FDD also mentions a Development Fee for franchisees committing to develop multiple Body20 studios. This fee varies depending on the number of studios the franchisee commits to develop. For instance, the low estimate for the Development Fee is based on a commitment to develop three studios, where the franchise fee would be $55,000 per studio. The high estimate is based on developing 10 studios, with a franchise fee of $35,000 per studio.
The Development Fee is credited towards the initial Franchise Fee for each studio developed under the Development Agreement. This means that if a franchisee enters into a Development Agreement, they will pay a Development Fee upfront, which will then offset the individual franchise fees for each Body20 studio they open. However, the FDD clearly states that the Development Fee is non-refundable, regardless of how many studios the franchisee ultimately develops. Therefore, the initial franchise fee for a single Body20 studio is fixed at $65,000.
