What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchise location fails to meet the minimum monthly gross sales requirement, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs of any additional training, assistance, or consultation provided by Aira Fitness. Specifically, if the Aira Fitness location does not maintain gross sales of at least $10,000 per month after the first year of opening, and this continues for two consecutive months, Aira Fitness may require the Principal and General Managers to attend additional training programs or provide on-site assistance and consultation.
The FDD clearly states that the franchisee must cover all costs and expenses associated with this additional support. This includes any training programs, on-site assistance, or consultation that Aira Fitness deems necessary to improve the franchise's performance. This requirement underscores the importance of maintaining adequate sales and membership levels to avoid incurring these additional expenses.
Furthermore, the FDD indicates that failure to meet the minimum monthly gross sales requirement for six consecutive months can lead to more severe consequences, including the elimination of territorial protection or even termination of the Franchise Agreement. This highlights the financial risk associated with underperforming locations and the potential for Aira Fitness to take corrective actions at the franchisee's expense. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider their ability to meet these minimum requirements and factor in potential costs for additional support if needed.
