What is the duration of the shadow training that Brain Balance requires franchisees to complete at a regional center?

According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to travel with their staff (Center Director and/or Program Director) to an approved regional center to complete shadow training. This training lasts for two to three days, with the specific duration depending on the availability of the local center's staff. This shadow training is a mandatory part of the initial training program for new franchisees and their key staff members.

This shadow training provides a hands-on learning experience, allowing franchisees and their staff to observe and learn from experienced professionals in an operational Brain Balance center. This practical experience is designed to supplement the online and classroom training provided by Brain Balance, ensuring that franchisees are well-prepared to manage their own centers. The cost of transportation, living expenses, and any wages for staff attending the training are the responsibility of the franchisee.

Prospective franchisees should consider the time commitment and travel expenses associated with this shadow training when evaluating the Brain Balance franchise opportunity. It is also important to confirm the scheduling and availability of shadow training with Brain Balance, as the duration may vary based on the regional center's staff availability. This on-site training is in addition to approximately 40 hours of online training and up to ten days at a specified training location approved by Brain Balance.
