What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each proposed site for a studio under the Development Agreement must satisfy Body20's site-selection criteria and receive written acceptance from Body20. This requirement ensures that all locations align with Body20's standards for optimal performance.
The site selection process involves the franchisee identifying a potential site within a designated Site Selection Area. The franchisee must then submit a site proposal package with details about the location. Body20 will review the proposed site using its proprietary site selection assistance criteria, which may include evaluations using third-party software and on-site evaluations. Factors considered include site visibility, zoning, parking, competition, neighboring tenants, accessibility, population density, and adjusted gross income.
Body20 retains the right to refuse any proposed site for any reason, and acceptance of a site does not constitute a warranty or representation regarding the studio's potential success or profitability. The franchisee bears the ultimate responsibility for selecting a suitable site. Before making any binding commitments to purchase, lease, or sublease a site, the franchisee must obtain written approval from Body20 for the location and the proposed lease or purchase agreement.
This process is typical in franchising, as franchisors want to ensure brand consistency and that franchisees are set up for success in appropriate locations. Prospective Body20 franchisees should carefully consider the site selection criteria and work closely with Body20 to identify and secure an acceptable location.
