What is the focus of training for an unlicensed Degree Wellness franchisee?

According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the training for an unlicensed franchisee will focus primarily on the business aspects of operating a Degree Wellness studio. This includes the operation of the business itself, retail sales strategies, and back-office functions.

Specifically, the training is designed to exclude any content that could be interpreted as the practice of medicine. This distinction is important because it ensures that franchisees without medical licenses do not engage in activities that require such credentials. By focusing on business operations, Degree Wellness aims to equip franchisees with the skills necessary to manage and grow their studios effectively, while remaining compliant with healthcare regulations.

This approach allows Degree Wellness to offer franchise opportunities to a broader range of individuals, not just those with medical backgrounds. However, it also means that franchisees must ensure they have qualified, licensed professionals on staff to handle any medical procedures or services offered at their studios. The separation of business and medical training reflects Degree Wellness's commitment to legal compliance and patient safety.
