Does the geographic restriction on competitive businesses after termination of the Body20 franchise agreement apply to any Body20 studio?

According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the non-compete clause after the franchise agreement ends restricts franchisees from engaging in competitive businesses within a specific geographic area. Specifically, for two years after the association with Body20 ends, the franchisee is restricted from involvement with a Competitive Business within a 10-mile radius of their former Body20 studio or any other Body20 studio that is operating or under development at the time of termination.

This restriction applies regardless of the reason for the end of the franchise agreement. The definition of a "Competitive Business" is broad, including any gymnasium, studio, athletic or fitness center, health club, exercise, aerobics facility, or similar fitness or exercise facility or business, any business that offers fitness training or products, services, or classes or training sessions similar to those offered by a Body20 studio, or any entity that grants franchises or licenses for any of these businesses.

This non-compete clause ensures that former Body20 franchisees do not directly compete with existing Body20 locations shortly after leaving the franchise system, protecting Body20's market share and brand reputation. Franchisees should carefully consider this restriction, as it could limit their business opportunities in the fitness industry within a 10-mile radius of any Body20 studio after their franchise agreement terminates.
