Is written acceptance from Body20 required for proposed studio sites?

According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, written acceptance from Body20 is required for proposed studio sites. Before making any binding commitment to purchase, lease, or sublease a site, Body20 must provide written acceptance of the location. This acceptance is indicated by Body20's delivery of the completed and signed Schedule 1.

Before a franchisee can commit to a site, they must submit a site proposal package with details about the proposed location. Body20 will review the proposed site using its own criteria. Body20 may refuse to accept a proposed site for any reason. The address of the accepted site will be listed on Schedule 1 to Appendix A of the Franchise Agreement.

Furthermore, franchisees must obtain Body20's written approval for the proposed lease or purchase agreement, or any letter of intent with the third-party seller or lessor. If the site is leased, the franchisee must ensure that the Lease Rider, in the form of Appendix D, is executed by both the franchisee and the landlord, unless Body20 waives this requirement in writing. Additionally, Body20's written consent is required before a franchisee can relocate their studio.

These stipulations ensure that Body20 maintains control over site selection and lease terms, which can impact brand consistency and the potential success of each franchise location. Franchisees should carefully consider these requirements and the potential for rejection or delays in site approval when evaluating the Body20 franchise opportunity.
