Must the Aira Fitness Business be constructed and equipped in accordance with Aira Fitness's approved specifications and standards?

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must construct and equip their Aira Fitness Business in strict accordance with the franchisor's current approved specifications and standards. These standards pertain to the equipment, signage, fixtures, design, and layout of the building. This ensures uniformity across all Aira Fitness locations, maintaining brand consistency and customer expectations.

Specifically, franchisees must purchase all items, including equipment, from Aira Fitness or its approved suppliers. Before starting construction, franchisees need written consent from Aira Fitness regarding their plans. Franchisees must submit basic plans and specifications that align with Aira Fitness's general design and layout requirements, as detailed in the manuals. Furthermore, franchisees must use only approved equipment, fixtures, furniture, and signs, installing them in full compliance with the approved plans and all applicable ordinances, building codes, and permit requirements.

Any changes to the plans or any alterations to the premises, interior or exterior décor, equipment, or signage after the initial approval require Aira Fitness's prior written consent. This includes changes requested by the franchisee, Aira Fitness, or a third party. This requirement ensures that all Aira Fitness locations maintain a consistent brand image and meet the franchisor's standards, even after the initial setup. Franchisees need to adhere to these standards to avoid potential breaches of the franchise agreement and to maintain the integrity of the Aira Fitness brand.
