Training 

Initial Training Programs

Prior to launching the Studio, franchisees, or their designated Operating Principal if the franchisee is an entity, must complete the Initial Training Program. This comprehensive program usually spans 2-3 business days and takes place at CycleBar's corporate headquarters or another specified training facility, often located in California.

Additional Training for Studio Operation

CycleBar may offer and require franchisees, along with their Operating Principal and Designated Manager, to participate in up to five (5) days of supplementary training each year at a designated training facility. This mandatory training is provided without any additional training fees.

Instructor Bootcamp

All instructors hired by the franchisee to deliver the Approved Services at the Studio are required to complete CycleBar's proprietary Instructor Bootcamp. This specialized program equips instructors with the necessary skills and guidelines to deliver the Approved Services in alignment with CycleBar's System.

Territory Protection

CycleBar offers territory protection to its franchisees, guaranteeing that no other CycleBar Studio will be established within the franchisee's Designated Territory, provided they remain in compliance with their franchise agreement. 

This protection ensures that franchisees can confidently grow their business without the concern of nearby competition from the same brand. 

By securing an exclusive area, franchisees can build a loyal customer base and maximize their market potential. CycleBar's commitment to territory protection reflects their dedication to the success and support of their franchise network.
