What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program can be held at the company's offices, any other location the company designates, or remotely. Remote training may be conducted via recorded media, teleconference, videoconference, the Internet, webinar, or any other means the company chooses.
The document states that Body20 will determine the length, timing, location, and substance of the Initial Training in its sole discretion. This gives Body20 flexibility in how and where they conduct the training, and allows them to adapt the training to different situations or franchisee needs.
Body20 may also waive a portion of the Initial Training or alter the training schedule if they determine that the franchisee's Required Trainees have sufficient prior experience or training, or have previously been trained at one of their studios. This could potentially shorten the training period for franchisees who already have relevant experience, but it is up to Body20's discretion.
Franchisees should confirm with Body20 the specific location, format, and duration of the initial training program to properly plan and budget for travel and accommodation expenses, if applicable. They should also inquire about the possibility of waivers or alterations to the training schedule based on prior experience.
