Initial Training Program: This includes a 4-day operations training for the General Manager and at least one Principal Equity Owner, and a separate 4-day instructor training for the Key Trainer and up to four instructors. All participants must satisfactorily complete this training before opening the studio.

Territory Protection
BodyROK grants franchisees a defined exclusive territory, typically ranging from one-quarter mile in urban areas to two miles in rural areas, surrounding their outlet. Within this territory, BodyROK commits not to authorize or operate another BodyROK retail outlet, as long as the franchisee complies with the terms of the agreement.
This territorial protection is clearly outlined in the franchise agreement and is designed to support local franchisee operations without internal brand competition.
However, BodyROK retains significant rights within and outside the franchisee’s territory. The franchisor may market and sell BodyROK services through other distribution channels such as the Internet, mobile apps, and non-retail venues even within the protected territory.
