What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Initial Training Fee, which ranges from $2,500 to $2,500, is due as a lump sum. This payment is required prior to your initial Required Trainees' Initial Training, before opening your Body20 studio, and as specified by Body20. The fee covers Initial Training for your initial Required Trainees, provided they attend the same training session.
In practical terms, this means a prospective Body20 franchisee must budget for and pay the Initial Training Fee before their staff can attend the mandatory training program. This training is a prerequisite for opening the studio, so the fee must be paid in a timely manner to avoid delays. The FDD specifies that the fee is non-refundable unless otherwise stated or permitted by Body20.
It is important to note that while the Initial Training Fee covers the initial required trainees, additional costs may arise. The franchisee is responsible for travel and living expenses, wages, and other expenses incurred by trainees during Initial Training in Newport Beach, California. If Body20 elects to provide Initial Training at the franchisee's studio, the franchisee must pay an additional training fee of up to $1,000 (currently, $500) per trainer per day, plus cover the trainer's travel and living expenses. These additional costs can significantly increase the overall training expenses for a new Body20 franchise.
