We have the Additional Center Discount Program. Under the Program, a reduced intial franchise fee of $9,000 applies for an additional Body & Brain Center if an existing Body & Brain Center franchisee is approved to enter into a new franchise agreement for the additional Body & Brain Center. Except as provided in the Additional Center Discount Program, the initial franchise fee is uniformly imposed on all franchisees.
The initial franchise fee is paid for the right to enter into the franchise and covers our expenses incurred for marketing and advertising. The initial franchise fee is not refundable under any circumstances, although we reserve the right to grant refunds in our sole discretion.

Specifically, the training fee is due at the time you sign the Franchise Agreement (or Training Agreement, if applicable). You must pay us a separate $10,000 initial training fee for each person that attends initial training. We anticipate that most (if not all) franchisees will send only 1 person to initial training. We will refund the entire training fee if you notify us that you wish to cancel the franchise before you begin training. The initial training fee is not refundable under any other circumstances.
If you fail to successfully complete our initial training program, you must retake training and pay us a
retraining fee of $400 for each instance where you must retake training. The retraining fee is due prior to attending the retraining session and non-refundable.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee is $10,000, which is paid in a lump sum before attending the initial franchise training program. This fee is due when signing the Franchise Agreement or Training Agreement. The FDD specifies that this fee covers Body Brain Center's expenses for marketing and advertising. This fee is generally non-refundable, although Body Brain Center reserves the right to grant refunds at its discretion.
There is an exception to the standard initial franchise fee under the Additional Center Discount Program. Existing Body Brain Center franchisees who are approved to open an additional center may qualify for a reduced initial franchise fee of $9,000.
Also, a Body & Brain home-based franchisee has the option to convert to a Body & Brain Center franchise if the Body & Brain home-based franchisee: (i) is in full compliance with the terms of the Franchise Agreement for the Body & Brain home-based franchise; (ii) pays a conversion fee of $10,000; (iii) completes the Leadership Training; (iv) signs our then current form of franchise agreement for a Body & Brain Center franchise and a general release. If a Body & Brain home-based franchisee exercises this option, the conversion fee is paid in lieu of the initial franchise fee for the Body & Brain Center franchise and the Body & Brain home-based franchisee is not required to pay the initial franchise fee, nor is it required to retake, or pay for, the initial training, Self-Enrichment Workshop or Qualified Instructor Training. The conversion fee is non-refundable. The conversion fee is uniformly imposed on all franchisees.
