Training 

Franchisees must complete a comprehensive initial training program within three months of signing the franchise agreement and before they can begin operating their franchise.

While there is no fee for this initial training, franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel and accommodation expenses. The training program addresses a variety of operational challenges and provides guidance on hiring and training staff.

Additional Training and Seminars

iLoveKickboxing may also provide supplementary training or seminars, which franchisees might be required to attend either in person or online. These sessions are offered at no additional cost, but franchisees must pay for any associated travel and living expenses.

Operational Support

Beyond formal training, iLoveKickboxing offers ongoing operational support to franchisees, assisting with any issues they might face in running their business. This continuous support underscores the franchisor's dedication to upholding high standards across all locations.

Territory Protection

The iLoveKickboxing franchise offers territory protection to its franchisees. This ensures that franchisees have a defined geographic area where no other iLoveKickboxing franchises can operate, allowing them to build and grow their business without direct competition from within the franchise network.

This territorial protection is part of iLoveKickboxing's commitment to supporting the success of its franchisees by providing them with a secure and exclusive market area.
