What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training costs may be higher if Body20 elects to provide initial training to the franchisee's required trainees at their studio. In this case, the franchisee must pay Body20 an additional training fee of up to $1,000 (currently $500) per trainer per day and cover the travel and living expenses for Body20's trainers.
This means that franchisees need to factor in potential additional costs for training if they prefer or if Body20 requires the training to occur at their specific studio location rather than the standard training location in Newport Beach, California. These additional costs include both the per diem training fee and the costs associated with travel and accommodation for the Body20 trainers.
For a prospective Body20 franchisee, this highlights the importance of discussing the location of the initial training with Body20 during the due diligence process. Understanding whether on-site training is a possibility and the associated costs can significantly impact the initial investment required to start the franchise.
