What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand conducts additional recertification training for all Certified Stretch Zone Practitioners of each franchise on an annual basis. The fee for this recertification program is $2,000 per franchise, regardless of the number of certified practitioners employed.
Stretch Zone generally offers this recertification program virtually, but they reserve the right to conduct the program in person. If the program is conducted in person, the franchisee is responsible for covering the travel, meals, and lodging expenses for Stretch Zone's representatives.
This recertification program and associated fee are important for prospective franchisees to consider. The $2,000 annual fee is an ongoing cost of doing business and should be factored into the franchisee's financial projections. The potential for additional expenses related to in-person training should also be considered, as these costs could vary depending on the location and duration of the training.
