What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering travel and living expenses for both themselves and their manager when attending the annual convention. In addition to these costs, Aira Fitness franchisees must also pay a $500 fee upon attendance or non-attendance of the annual franchise conventions.
This means that franchisees should budget not only for the registration fee but also for transportation, accommodation, meals, and other incidental costs associated with attending the convention. These expenses can vary significantly depending on the location of the convention and the franchisee's travel preferences.
Prospective Aira Fitness franchisees should consider these additional expenses when evaluating the overall cost of operating a franchise. It's advisable to inquire with Aira Fitness about the typical location and estimated costs of past conventions to get a better understanding of the potential financial burden.
