What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, outside of decals/stickers, fitness equipment, Pods, and exterior signage, neither Aira Fitness nor its affiliates are currently designated or approved suppliers for any other products or services. However, franchisees must purchase several items from designated or approved suppliers. These include member management software, key cards for 24/7 access, flooring and turf, and billing and collection services. Franchisees must also purchase fixtures, furniture, equipment, computer hardware, insurance, video surveillance systems, and marketing materials from approved suppliers or those that meet Aira Fitness's standards.
Aira Fitness will provide franchisees with an Approved Suppliers List and an Approved Supplies List, which may be revised from time to time. Aira Fitness may become the sole approved supplier for certain products. If a franchisee wants to purchase products or services from an unapproved supplier, they must request consent from Aira Fitness in writing and submit samples and other information for testing to ensure they meet the brand's standards. Aira Fitness generally notifies the franchisee of supplier approval or disapproval within 30 days of receiving all necessary information.
Prospective Aira Fitness franchisees should note that required purchases are estimated to represent a significant portion of their total purchases when establishing the franchise, approximately 75% to 85% (excluding the franchise fee and other non-goods expenditures). Ongoing, these required purchases are estimated to be 5% to 10% of the costs to operate the business (excluding franchise fees and royalties and other non-goods expenditures). Aira Fitness retains the right to receive rebates from franchisee purchases or leases with certain suppliers, though they do not currently receive them. Pure Gym Equipment LLC, an affiliate, derived $87,808 from equipment purchases from franchisees in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and charges a markup on the Initial Fitness Equipment Package.
