If you relocate your Studio from the Site to a new location, you will pay to us a relocation fee equal to $5,000 (the "Relocation Fee").
4.6 Relocation. You may not relocate the Studio without our prior written consent. Such approval will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that (i) the new location for the Studio premises is satisfactory to us, (ii) your lease, if any, for the new location complies with our then-current requirements and you and your landlord execute the Lease Rider, (iii) you comply with our then-current requirements for constructing and furnishing the new location, (iv) the new location will not, as determined in our sole discretion, materially and adversely affect the Gross Sales of any other Studio, (v) you have fully performed and complied with each provision of this Agreement within the last three years prior to, and as of, the date we consent to such relocation (the "Relocation Request Date"), (vi) no Event of Default (as herein defined), or event which with the giving of notice and/or passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, exists as of the Relocation Request Date, and (vii) you have met all of our then-current training requirements. If your Site Lease expires or is otherwise terminated, you must secure our approval of another site and enter into a Site Lease for the new approved site within 90 days. You agree to pay us the Relocation Fee upon notifying us of your intent to relocate the Studio to a new Site, whether or not the new Site is approved. We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement if you fail to secure a new approved site within 90 days after you lose the Site Lease.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee relocates their studio to a new location, they must pay Body20 a relocation fee of $5,000. This fee is payable upon notifying Body20 of the intent to relocate, regardless of whether the new site is ultimately approved. This means a franchisee could pay the fee and then be denied the ability to relocate.
Relocation of a Body20 studio requires Body20's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld if certain conditions are met. These conditions include the new location being satisfactory to Body20, compliance with lease requirements, adherence to construction and furnishing standards for the new location, and ensuring the new location does not negatively impact the gross sales of other studios.
Additional conditions for relocation approval include full compliance with the Franchise Agreement over the past three years, no existing Events of Default, and meeting all current training requirements. If a franchisee's site lease expires or is terminated, they must secure Body20's approval of a new site and enter into a new site lease within 90 days. Failure to secure a new approved site within this timeframe may result in Body20 terminating the Franchise Agreement.
