What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can renew their franchise agreement if they are in good standing with the company. The initial franchise term is 5 years, but franchisees have the option to enter into successor franchise agreements for either 3 or 5-year renewal terms. The maximum total term, including the initial term and any renewals, is 15 years, regardless of whether the franchisee chooses 3 or 5-year renewal terms.
To renew the franchise agreement, a Body Brain Center franchisee must meet several requirements. They cannot be in default of the existing agreement, must provide timely notice of their intent to renew, and must sign the then-current form of the franchise agreement and any related documents. Additionally, franchisees must sign a general release, pay the renewal fee (which is the same for both 3 and 5-year renewal terms), and remodel or upgrade their center to comply with Body Brain Center's then-current standards and specifications.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that if they renew their franchise agreement, Body Brain Center may require them to sign a contract with materially different terms and conditions than the original agreement. This could impact various aspects of the franchise operation, so it is important to carefully review the new agreement and understand any changes before committing to a renewal. For franchisees operating under the Software Service Agreement (SSA), the term automatically renews on a month-to-month basis until either party terminates the agreement.
