What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, a manager can assist an owner with the management of their center, provided the owner remains actively involved in the center's operations. However, an owner cannot manage multiple centers; if an owner purchases more franchises than they can personally manage, they must hire a manager for each additional center. A manager is restricted to managing only one Body & Brain Center.
Before a manager can assume their responsibilities, Body Brain Center requires that they be approved by the company, potentially including an interview at headquarters. The manager must also successfully complete the initial training program, for which the franchisee must pay Body Brain Center a training fee. Additionally, the manager is required to sign a Brand Protection Agreement before attending training.
These stipulations ensure that all Body Brain Center locations are properly managed and maintain brand standards. The requirement for active owner involvement when a manager is assisting ensures that the owner retains ultimate responsibility and oversight of the business. The training and Brand Protection Agreement for managers are in place to protect Body Brain Center's brand and operational integrity.
