What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees will participate in an online training program. The FDD states that the online training program will require approximately 31 hours of time. However, the time needed may vary depending on the user's background and familiarity with the concepts.
In addition to the online training, franchisees will also receive three to five days of training at a designated Brain Balance training facility. Franchisees will also have a maximum of 10 hours of telephone or webinar training before officially opening. Furthermore, Brain Balance may require the franchisee and their staff to complete shadow training at an approved regional center for 2-3 days, depending on staff availability.
While Brain Balance covers the cost of the training itself, franchisees are responsible for covering transportation, meals, and lodging expenses for themselves and their employees during the initial training program. Franchisees are also responsible for the salaries of their employees while they attend the training. Prospective franchisees should factor in these additional costs when evaluating the overall investment required to start a Brain Balance franchise.
