Coach Onboarding Fees. Each individual who will provide fitness coaching at the Studio must attend and successfully complete our fitness coach onboarding program ("Coach Onboarding") before providing any fitness coaching at the Studio. You must pay us a fee of $125 for each fitness coach attending Coach Onboarding (the "Coach Onboarding Fee"). We anticipate that some of your coaches may require additional practice, coaching, or follow-up instruction, depending on comprehension and readiness, the estimated cost of which is up to an additional $1,000 per coach.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each fitness coach must attend and successfully complete the then-current Coach Onboarding program every two years. However, if a fitness coach has already attended and successfully completed Coach Onboarding through another Body20 studio within the prior two years, they are not required to attend again at that time.
This requirement ensures that all fitness coaches are up-to-date with Body20's training standards and methods. The Coach Onboarding Fee is $125 for each fitness coach attending. The FDD also anticipates that some coaches may need additional practice, coaching, or follow-up instruction, which could cost up to an additional $1,000 per coach. The total initial fees for Coach Onboarding are estimated to range from $250 to $4,500, excluding travel and living expenses, which the franchisee is responsible for covering.
For a prospective Body20 franchisee, this means budgeting not only for the initial Coach Onboarding fees but also for potential supplemental training and recurring onboarding every two years. It's important to factor in these ongoing training costs when assessing the overall financial viability of the franchise. The range in estimated costs reflects the variability in the number of coaches requiring training and the potential need for supplemental instruction.
