What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for covering the travel and living expenses of their trainees. This includes costs associated with meals, transportation, and accommodations. Additionally, the franchisee is also responsible for the wages and any other expenses incurred by their trainees during the training period.
This means that if a franchisee sends employees to Body20's headquarters for training, the franchisee must pay for all associated costs. These costs can accumulate quickly, especially if multiple employees require training or if the training program is extensive. Franchisees should factor these expenses into their initial investment and ongoing operational costs.
Furthermore, if Body20 provides additional training, remedial training, or consulting services at the franchisee's studio, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Body20 for any travel and living expenses incurred by Body20's employees or agents. This highlights the importance of budgeting for potential on-site support from the franchisor, as these costs can vary depending on the location and duration of the services provided.
