What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Body & Brain Center does not explicitly state that they provide on-the-job training for marketing. However, the FDD does mention that during the operation of the business, Body & Brain Center will give ongoing guidance and recommendations on ways to improve the marketing and operation of your business. They also provide an initial marketing plan for the business before it opens.
Additionally, Body & Brain Center has established and administers an advertising fund that is used for local, regional, or national marketing, advertising, sales promotion and promotional materials, public and consumer relations, publicity, website development, search engine optimization, and any other programs that they deem necessary or appropriate. The advertising fund may also be used to pay for the creation of marketing materials that franchisees may use for local marketing purposes.
While the FDD does not specifically mention on-the-job training for marketing, it does state that Body & Brain Center may offer periodic additional training programs for franchisees to maintain the uniformity and high standard of goods and services provided by Body & Brain franchisees or to modify these goods or services. Attendance at these training programs is optional. A prospective franchisee should inquire with the franchisor about the availability and content of any marketing-related training programs.
