What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise fee varies depending on the number of studios a franchisee commits to develop under a Development Agreement. If a prospective franchisee commits to developing ten or more Body20 studios, the franchise fee is $35,000 per studio. This is a discount compared to the franchise fee for a single studio, which is $65,000.
This tiered franchise fee structure incentivizes franchisees to commit to a larger development plan, allowing Body20 to expand more rapidly. The franchisee benefits from a reduced initial investment per studio, making it potentially more affordable to open multiple locations. However, the franchisee must be financially and operationally qualified to develop multiple studios, as determined by Body20.
In addition to the franchise fee, franchisees entering into a Development Agreement must also pay a Development Fee upon signing the agreement. This fee is equal to 100% of the aggregate of all franchise fees due for each studio the franchisee agrees to develop. This Development Fee is credited towards the franchise fee due for each studio developed under the Development Agreement, meaning no additional franchise fee is due when each individual Franchise Agreement is signed.
For example, if a franchisee commits to developing ten studios, the Development Fee would be $350,000 (10 studios x $35,000 per studio). This entire amount is paid upfront but covers the franchise fees for all ten studios as they are developed. This structure lowers the per-studio franchise fee but requires a substantial initial capital outlay.
