What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor provides instructors, facilities, and materials for Initial Training for the franchisee's Required Trainees as part of the Franchise Fee, provided all trainees attend the same training session. However, Body20 franchisees may incur additional training fees under specific circumstances.
First, a franchisee will be charged a training fee of up to $1,000 (currently $500) per trainee per day for each person who attends a subsequent Initial Training program. This includes individuals repeating the course, replacing someone who didn't pass, or any subsequent Operating Principal, Designated Manager, or employee attending the course. This fee covers the cost of additional training sessions beyond the initial one included in the franchise fee.
Second, if Body20 elects to provide Initial Training to the franchisee's Required Trainees at the franchisee's studio, the franchisee must pay an additional training fee of up to $1,000 (currently $500) per trainer per day. This fee covers the cost of sending trainers to the franchisee's location to conduct the training, rather than having the trainees attend training at the Body20's designated location.
