What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at franchise conventions, meetings, product shows or demonstrations, and teleconferences (referred to as "Events") may be required for franchisees, their Operating Principal, Designated Managers, or other designated representatives. These events can be held in person or remotely, with Body20 responsible for arranging the events and providing meeting materials. Franchisees are responsible for their own travel and living expenses.
Body20 may charge a registration fee for these events, but this fee will not exceed $1,000 per attendee. If a required attendee fails to attend an event without prior written excuse from Body20, the franchisee must pay the registration fee that would have been incurred, plus an additional $500 for each absent attendee.
This policy means that franchisees need to budget not only for travel and accommodation to attend mandatory Body20 events, but also up to $1,000 per person for the event registration itself. Failure to attend without an excuse can result in a $1,500 charge per missed attendee, creating a significant financial incentive to ensure required personnel are present.
