us or our affiliate. You must then enter into a purchase agreement or lease for replacement equipment with a designated or approved, which may be us or our affiliate.
- H. Relocation. You may not relocate your Aira Fitness Business without our prior written consent. If you need to relocate because of condemnation, destruction, or expiration or cancellation of your lease for reasons other than your breach, we will grant you authority to do so at a site acceptable to us that is within your Designated Area, is reasonably suited for an Aira Fitness Business and does not infringe on the rights of any other AIRA Fitness franchisee, provided that the new Aira Fitness Business is open and operating within sixty (60) days after you discontinue operation at the present Aira Fitness Business, all in accordance with our then-current standards. If you voluntarily decide to relocate the Aira Fitness Business, your right to relocate the Aira Fitness Business will be void
and your interest in this Agreement will be voluntarily abandoned, unless you have given us notice of your intent to relocate not less than sixty (60) days prior to closing the Aira Fitness Business, have procured a site within your Designated Area that we accept fifteen (15) days prior to such closure, have opened the new Aira Fitness Business for business within 24 hours of such closure and complied with any other conditions that we reasonably require. You must pay the costs of any relocation, and we reserve the right to charge you for any reasonable costs that we incur. Upon relocation of your Aira Fitness Business for any reason, we may modify your Designated Area, in our sole judgment, to take into account the designated areas of neighboring Aira Fitness Businesses and other factors.
In the event your Aira Fitness Business is destroyed or damaged and you repair the Aira Fitness Business at the Authorized Location (rather than relocate the Aira Fitness Business), you must repair and reopen the Aira Fitness Business at the Authorized Location in accordance with our then-current standards for the destroyed or damaged area within twenty (20) days of the date of occurrence of the destruction or damage, or such longer time as we reasonably determine, in our sole judgment, is required given the nature and extent of the damage.
We have the right to refuse to consent to a relocation in the event you lose the right to occupy the Aira Fitness Business premises because of the termination of your lease due to your breach. Further, the cancellation of your lease due to your breach is grounds for immediate termination under Section 14.B.2.
I. Designation of Principal. You shall designate one owner of the Franchisee entity having a majority ownership interest who will be the Principal for the Aira Fitness Business ("Principal"). The Principal must successfully complete our initial training program and must have authority to make decisions on your behalf and bind you with respect to matters and agreements with us.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must operate their Aira Fitness Business at an authorized location and cannot relocate without prior written consent from Aira Fitness. If relocation is necessary due to unforeseen circumstances like condemnation or lease expiration (not due to the franchisee's breach), Aira Fitness will authorize relocation to a suitable site within the Designated Area, provided it meets specific criteria and does not infringe on other franchisees' rights. The new location must be operational within sixty days of ceasing operations at the previous site, adhering to Aira Fitness's standards.
If a franchisee voluntarily decides to relocate, they risk abandoning their agreement unless they provide Aira Fitness with a 60-day notice, secure an approved site within their Designated Area 15 days before closure, and reopen within 24 hours of closing the original location, complying with any other conditions Aira Fitness reasonably requires. The franchisee bears all relocation costs, and Aira Fitness reserves the right to charge additional reasonable costs. Relocation may also lead to modifications of the Designated Area at Aira Fitness's discretion, considering neighboring Aira Fitness locations and other relevant factors.
In the event of damage or destruction to the Aira Fitness Business, franchisees are required to repair and reopen at the authorized location within twenty days, following Aira Fitness's standards for the affected area, unless Aira Fitness determines a longer period is necessary. Furthermore, the Aira Fitness Business must be open to the public and operated 24 hours each day of the year, subject to state or local laws, though Aira Fitness reserves the right to require a minimum number of staffed hours. Any deviation from these operating hours requires written authorization from Aira Fitness, and unauthorized closures for extended periods can be considered a voluntary abandonment of the franchise.
