What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees will receive three to five days of training at the company's designated training facility. This on-site training is part of the Initial Training Program that franchisees or their staff must complete.
In addition to the training at the designated facility, franchisees also participate in an online training program that takes approximately 31 hours to complete. Franchisees may also be required to travel with their staff to an approved regional center for 2-3 days of shadow training, depending on staff availability.
While Brain Balance covers the cost of the training itself, franchisees are responsible for covering the costs of transportation, meals, and lodging for themselves and their employees who attend the Initial Training Program, as well as the salaries of any employees attending the training. Franchisees should factor these additional expenses into their budget when planning for the initial setup and training phase.
