What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, the nonsolicitation agreement restricts franchisees from certain actions for two years after completing the training program. Specifically, franchisees are prohibited from directly or indirectly inducing or attempting to induce any existing Body Brain Center franchisee to leave the Body Brain system.
Additionally, the agreement prevents franchisees from soliciting customers away from the franchisor, its affiliates, or other Body Brain Center franchisees. This means a franchisee cannot attempt to persuade customers of Body Brain Center, its affiliates, or other franchisees to transfer their business to the franchisee's own center or to any other person not currently a Body Brain Center franchisee.
These restrictions are designed to protect the Body Brain Center system by preventing franchisees from poaching other franchisees or customers, thus maintaining the stability and integrity of the franchise network. This type of clause is standard practice in franchising to protect the brand and the investment of all franchisees within the system.
