The business-related portion of the Initial Training ("Business Training") will take place at a location and time that Franchisor designates, and only after you have executed a lease for the Franchised Business, provided, however, that Franchisor reserves the right to delay this portion of the Initial Training program until such time as you have completed all pre-initial training items set forth in the Manuals.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Business Training portion of the Initial Training takes place after specific conditions are met. Specifically, the franchisee must first execute a lease for the Franchised Business. However, Degree Wellness retains the right to delay the Business Training until the franchisee completes all pre-initial training items outlined in the manuals.
This means that a prospective Degree Wellness franchisee cannot attend the Business Training until they have secured a location and signed a lease agreement. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as the training is likely to cover aspects of running the business that are specific to the franchisee's location. The franchisee should prioritize finding and securing a suitable location to avoid delays in their training schedule.
Degree Wellness also has the flexibility to postpone the Business Training if the franchisee hasn't completed all the necessary pre-training tasks detailed in the manuals. This implies that there are preparatory steps a franchisee must take before attending the Business Training. Franchisees should ensure they diligently follow the instructions in the manuals and complete all required pre-training items to avoid any delays in their training schedule. This could include online courses, reading materials, or other preparatory assignments.
