What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes 2 hours of classroom training for Member Care. The training takes place in Sedona, Arizona; Ellenville, New York; another location selected by Body Brain Center; or in an online format.
However, the FDD specifies that there are zero hours of on-the-job training for Member Care. This means franchisees and their staff will learn the theoretical aspects of member care in a classroom setting but will not receive practical, hands-on training as part of the initial program.
Prospective franchisees should consider the implications of this training structure. While classroom training provides a foundation, the lack of on-the-job training may require franchisees to invest additional time and resources in developing their staff's member care skills through other means, such as role-playing exercises, shadowing experienced staff, or external training programs. It would be prudent for potential franchisees to inquire with Body Brain Center about any ongoing support or resources available to help them and their staff develop proficiency in member care.
