Body_Brain_Center Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We will provide an initial training program of approximately 30 hours over 5 to 9 days. We anticipate most franchisees will send between 1 and 2 people to training. All of your Owners and managers must successfully complete the initial training program to our satisfaction. We expect that most franchisees will not have multiple owners and will not hire managers at the initial phase of development. You are not required to attend or complete training within any minimum period of time after signing the Franchise Agreement or prior to opening. However, you cannot open your Center until you have successfully completed training by attending all hours of classroom training in every required subject (you must open your Center within 2 years after signing the Franchise Agreement, unless we grant you an extension of up to 2 additional years).
The initial training program will take place at a retreat in Sedona, Arizona (currently Sedona Mago Retreat Center) or Ellenville, New York (currently Honor's Haven Retreat & Conference) or another training location we select at our discretion or in an online format. Currently, we intend to offer the initial training program at least 4 times per year.
