What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Initial Training will be held at the company's offices, any other location Body20 designates, and/or remotely via recorded media, teleconference, video conference, the Internet, webinar, or any other means, as Body20 determines. This training is required for the franchisee (or their Operating Principal if the franchisee is an entity) and the Designated Manager. Body20 will decide the length, timing, location, and substance of the Initial Training. However, Body20 may waive a portion of the Initial Training or alter the training schedule if the Required Trainees have sufficient prior experience or training or have previously been trained at one of Body20's studios. Each subsequent Operating Principal and Designated Manager must attend the Initial Training unless Body20 agrees otherwise in writing.
Body20 provides instructors, facilities, and materials for the Required Trainees as part of the Franchise Fee, provided that all trainees are trained during the same training session. Body20 reserves the right to charge a Training Fee for each person who attends a subsequent Initial Training program, including each person who is repeating the course or replacing a person who did not pass and each subsequent Operating Principal, Designated Manager, or employee who attends the course.
If the Required Trainees cannot successfully complete Initial Training, they must repeat it, or the franchisee must send replacement Required Trainees. The Required Trainees must successfully complete Initial Training at least 30 days before the earlier of the date the studio opens or the Opening Deadline, or by such earlier deadline that Body20 specifies. If the franchisee and their personnel satisfactorily complete Initial Training and do not expressly inform Body20 at the end of Initial Training that they feel they have not been adequately trained, then they will be deemed to have been trained sufficiently to operate a studio.
