What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several conditions must be met to gain approval for a franchise transfer, in addition to securing Aira Fitness's consent. The transferee must meet all of Aira Fitness's then-current requirements for franchisees. All outstanding amounts owed to Aira Fitness, its affiliates, suppliers, or the landlord must be paid in full. The franchisee must also have submitted all required reports to Aira Fitness. Compliance with modernization requirements outlined in Section 5.F of the franchise agreement is also mandatory.

If the transfer involves an installment sale where the seller retains a security interest, the seller and guarantors must continue to guarantee performance under the franchise agreement until the sale is finalized or the interest terminates. All parties involved, including the franchisee, owners, and guarantors, must execute the required transfer documents, including a general release of claims. The transferee is also required to fulfill the training requirements as detailed in Section 7.B of the agreement.

Furthermore, Aira Fitness requires that you or the proposed transferee provide all reasonably requested information regarding the terms of the proposed transfer. Aira Fitness must be satisfied that the financial terms and conditions of the proposed transfer will not have a materially adverse effect on the business' post-transfer ability to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due. Finally, the franchisee must comply with any other conditions that Aira Fitness reasonably requires as part of its transfer policies.
