What must a Body20 franchisee submit to the franchisor when identifying a potential site?
Body20 Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If you identify a site in the Site Selection Area that is reasonably suited for the conduct of the Studio and is consistent with any site selection guidelines that we may provide, before entering into any lease or purchase agreement for the site, you must submit a site proposal package describing details about the proposed site and provide any other information that we reasonably require. We will review each site that you identify and determine whether to accept it using our proprietary site selection assistance criteria, which may include evaluations of the proposed site by third-party site selection assistance software. We will conduct such on-site evaluation as we consider necessary and appropriate as part of our evaluation. We are not required to complete our review within a certain period of time. In addition to certain demographic characteristics, we also consider the following factors in accepting a Studio location: site visibility, zoning, parking, competition, neighboring tenants, accessibility, population density, and adjusted gross income. While we will provide assistance and guidance, it is solely your responsibility to select a suitable site for the Studio. Our acceptance of a proposed site is not a
warranty or representation of any kind as to the potential success or profitability of your Studio. (Franchise Agreement - Section 4.1)

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body20 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must submit a site proposal package to the franchisor when identifying a potential site within their designated Site Selection Area. This package should describe details about the proposed site and include any other information that Body20 reasonably requires.
Body20 will then review the proposed site using its proprietary site selection assistance criteria, which may include evaluations by third-party site selection assistance software. As part of this evaluation, Body20 may also conduct an on-site evaluation. The FDD specifies that Body20 is not required to complete its review within a specific timeframe.
In addition to demographic characteristics, Body20 considers factors such as site visibility, zoning, parking, competition, neighboring tenants, accessibility, population density, and adjusted gross income when evaluating a potential studio location. While Body20 offers assistance and guidance during site selection, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for selecting a suitable site. The FDD emphasizes that Body20's acceptance of a proposed site does not constitute a warranty or representation regarding the potential success or profitability of the studio.
