To whom are training expenses paid for a Punch King Fitness franchise?

According to Punch King Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost of initial training for the franchisee and their designated manager is included in the initial franchise fee. However, the franchisee is responsible for their own travel and stay expenses during this initial training. For any additional trainees beyond the franchisee and their designated manager, the franchisee must pay Punch King, LLC a tuition fee. The current rate is $500 per training, per person.

For onsite training, the franchisee will also need to pay Punch King, LLC $500 per day, per person, in addition to covering travel expenses. These travel expenses may be refundable if the franchisee has travel insurance or if the hotel or airline has a refund policy. It is important to contact the airline or hotel directly for more information on their refund policies.

In summary, while the initial training tuition for the franchisee and one designated manager is covered by the initial franchise fee, all travel and accommodation costs for the initial training, as well as tuition and travel costs for any additional training or trainees, are the responsibility of the franchisee and are paid to Punch King, LLC.
