What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Stretch Zone Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Protocols and Stretch Variation' training is conducted online through Stretch Zone University. This training involves 2 hours of classroom instruction.
This online format allows Stretch Zone to standardize the training process and deliver it efficiently to franchisees and their employees, regardless of their location. It also reduces the costs associated with travel and in-person training facilities. However, franchisees should ensure their employees have reliable internet access and a suitable learning environment to complete the online modules effectively.
While the 'Protocols and Stretch Variation' training is online, other hands-on training components, such as 'Hands on Practice – Lower Body' and 'Hands on Practice – Upper Body Protocols', take place at Stretch Zone's training facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This blended approach combines the convenience of online learning with the practical experience gained through in-person sessions. Franchisees should factor in the cost and logistics of sending employees to Fort Lauderdale for these hands-on training modules.
