What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training fee of $10,000 is due at the time you sign the Franchise Agreement or Training Agreement, if applicable, and must be paid before attending the initial franchise training program. A separate $10,000 initial training fee is required for each person attending the initial training, although Body Brain Center anticipates that most franchisees will only send one person.
For a prospective Body Brain Center franchisee, this means that the $10,000 training fee is a mandatory upfront cost. This fee covers the initial training program that Body Brain Center provides. It is important to factor this cost into your initial investment.
The FDD also states that the entire training fee is refundable if you notify Body Brain Center that you wish to cancel the franchise before you begin training. However, the initial training fee is not refundable under any other circumstances. If a franchisee fails to successfully complete the initial training program, they must retake the training and pay a retraining fee of $400 for each instance where they must retake training. The retraining fee is due prior to attending the retraining session and is non-refundable. The initial training fee and the retraining fee are uniformly imposed on all franchisees.
