Who pays the initial training fee for a manager of a Body Brain Center franchise?

According to the 2025 Body Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for paying the initial training fee for a manager. Specifically, if a franchisee hires a manager after opening their Body & Brain Center, they must pay a $10,000 initial training fee for that person to attend the initial training program. If the manager fails the initial training and needs to retake it, the franchisee must also pay a retraining fee of $400 for each subsequent attempt.

This means that as a Body Brain Center franchisee, you should factor in the cost of training for any managers you plan to hire. The initial $10,000 training fee per manager can be a significant expense, especially if multiple training attempts are needed, incurring the $400 retraining fee each time. This fee structure incentivizes franchisees to hire managers who are likely to succeed in the training program, as the costs associated with repeated training attempts can add up quickly.

It is important to note that these training fees are in addition to any other costs associated with hiring and employing a manager, such as salary, benefits, and other employment-related expenses. Therefore, franchisees should carefully consider the financial implications of hiring a manager and ensure that they have budgeted accordingly for all associated costs, including the initial and potential retraining fees. This policy is uniformly applied to all Body Brain Center franchisees.
