Training 

The franchisor provides a thorough training program for its franchisees and their staff:

Initial Training Program: This comprehensive program includes online modules, classroom instruction, and hands-on training in the studio. It covers all operational aspects, such as equipment use and maintenance, cost and inventory control, and basic management techniques. This training is mandatory for the franchisee or their Responsible Owner/Approved Operator and all salaried managers who have not previously completed it.

Specific Training Phases: The initial training is segmented into two crucial phases: Owner Orientation and Operations Training. Both phases are compulsory and must be completed successfully.

Refresher Training: Franchisees may need to participate in periodic refresher training courses. The franchisor may charge a reasonable fee for these sessions.

Additional Training: If required, extra training is available for a per diem fee, which is especially relevant for existing franchisees opening new locations.

Training for Additional Personnel: The franchisor might mandate attendance at additional training sessions or franchise meetings when deemed necessary and may charge a fee for these.
