Is the Degree Wellness initial training program subject to change?
Degree_Wellness Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The training program is subject to change due to updates and modifications in materials, methods, procedures, manuals and personnel without notice to you. All of these topics are integrated throughout self-directed, virtual, live classroom and in-Studio observation. Your staff will be required to attend all training sessions of the initial training program separate from the training sessions that you attend due to the nature of the topics being covered. In some instances, you and your staff will attend the same training session.
You must attend and participate in all sessions of the initial training program. If we determine that you have not completed or are unable to complete our initial training program satisfactorily, we may offer another chance to re-take the initial training program at your expense. Your failure to complete initial training to our satisfaction will give us the right to terminate your Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the training program is subject to change. The FDD states that updates and modifications to the materials, methods, procedures, manuals, and personnel can occur without prior notice to the franchisee.
This means that Degree Wellness has the right to alter the initial training program at any time. These changes could affect the content, delivery method (self-directed, virtual, live classroom, or in-studio observation), or even the instructors involved. Franchisees should be prepared for potential shifts in the training format and content.
Degree Wellness requires franchisees and their staff to attend all training sessions. Failure to complete the initial training program to Degree Wellness's satisfaction can result in the franchisee being required to retake the training at their own expense or even lead to the termination of the Franchise Agreement. This underscores the importance of actively participating and meeting Degree Wellness's standards during the training process.
