What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase or lease an initial fitness equipment package from a supplier approved by Aira Fitness. This approved supplier may include Aira Fitness itself, its affiliate, or a third party. This means Aira Fitness or its affiliate could potentially be an approved supplier for the Initial Fitness Equipment Package.
Beyond the initial package, franchisees must also purchase or lease other designated equipment, such as security and door access systems, signage, and software, from an Aira Fitness-approved supplier, which again may include Aira Fitness, its affiliate, or a third party. Replacement fitness equipment must also be sourced from approved suppliers.
It is important to note that Aira Fitness reserves the right to approve the manufacturer of approved supplies, although they do not do so for every item. Certain approved supplies may only be available from a single source, which could be Aira Fitness or its affiliates. Franchisees will be required to pay the current price for any approved supplies purchased directly from Aira Fitness or its affiliates. While Aira Fitness approves these suppliers, they disclaim all warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, regarding the equipment and supplies.
