What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial required trainees must attend and satisfactorily complete the Initial Training prior to the studio's presale period, which is the three-month period before the studio opens. Body20 can also specify an earlier deadline. The Initial Training fee covers training for the initial required trainees, provided they all attend the same training session.
This means that as a prospective Body20 franchisee, you need to ensure that your initial team is fully trained well in advance of your planned opening. This allows them to effectively market and sell memberships during the critical presale phase. Failing to meet this requirement could delay your opening or impact your initial revenue projections.
It is important to coordinate closely with Body20 to understand the specific timing and requirements for the Initial Training. This will help you to schedule your team's training appropriately and avoid any potential delays or complications. The FDD also mentions that travel and related expenses during initial training are the franchisee's responsibility, with estimates ranging from $1,000 to $6,000, so franchisees should factor these costs into their budget and planning.
