What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the rudimentary training in yoga, dance, and fitness is held at the 'Location of Immersion Week Course'. This implies that the training takes place during the Immersion Week, which is a component of the initial training program for new franchisees.
The Immersion Week course is held at Gokhale Method's headquarters in Palo Alto, California, or at other designated locations. The FDD specifies that the initial training includes one week of training in the Gokhale Method at their headquarters or other designated locations, followed by additional training activities such as webinars and self-study.
Prospective franchisees should note that they are responsible for food and lodging expenses during the Immersion Week. The FDD also states that franchisees must complete the initial training, including the Immersion Week, within six months. Failure to do so may result in termination of the Franchise Agreement.
