What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Brain Balance Franchise Disclosure Document, Brain Balance provides franchisees with the option to attend up to five days of training at a training facility designated by the company. This in-person training supplements an online training program that requires approximately 24 hours to complete, with the actual time varying based on the user's background and familiarity with the concepts.
In addition to the initial training, Brain Balance may require franchisees and their staff to travel to an approved regional center for 2-3 days of shadow training, depending on the availability of the regional staff. While Brain Balance covers the cost of the training itself, franchisees are responsible for covering the expenses related to transportation, meals, and lodging for themselves and their staff, as well as the salaries of any employees attending the training programs.
Furthermore, Brain Balance requires franchisees to attend and pay for advanced training sessions up to two times per year. These advanced training sessions, which may include webinars, courses within the Brain Balance Training Site, and workshops, can last between one and five days. The Program Director's attendance is mandatory when Brain Balance offers this advanced training, and franchisees are responsible for covering the travel costs for their employees and personnel.
