What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Aira Fitness may condition its approval of a proposed site for an Aira Fitness Business on the full execution of a Lease Addendum. The Lease Addendum is substantially in the form attached as Attachment E to the Franchise Agreement.
Before a franchisee executes a lease, Aira Fitness must approve it in writing. The franchisee is required to provide Aira Fitness with a copy of the lease, and Aira Fitness has fifteen days to either accept or reject the proposed site. Within ten days after the lease's execution, the franchisee must deliver a fully executed copy of the approved lease, as amended by the Lease Addendum, to Aira Fitness.
The FDD also includes an example of a Lease Addendum, which outlines several key agreements between the landlord, tenant (franchisee), and Aira Fitness. These agreements cover aspects such as remodeling and décor, assignment of the lease, and the landlord's agreement not to place a lien on the tenant's personal property. The addendum also details the rights and responsibilities of Aira Fitness in the event of termination or expiration of the franchise agreement or lease.
