What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, several actions or inactions can trigger a default under the franchise agreement. These include failing to meet deadlines in the development schedule, not complying with the terms of the agreement, or attempting to transfer the agreement against its stipulations. Additionally, a default occurs if the franchisee or an entity they own defaults on any individual franchise agreement or other agreement with Aira Fitness.
Specifically, if the franchisee is an entity, providing inaccurate or incomplete ownership information is a breach of representation. Furthermore, franchisees make several representations and warranties to Aira Fitness, including that they have the legal right to enter the agreement, that the agreement is binding, and that their execution of the agreement doesn't violate other contracts. Breaching these representations also constitutes default.
Other events that can trigger a default include insolvency, bankruptcy, or inability to pay debts. Criminal indictments or convictions of the franchisee or related parties that could negatively impact the Aira Fitness system also constitute default. Finally, franchisees are prohibited from verbally or physically assaulting or abusing Aira Fitness personnel or other franchisees, and such actions, even after a warning, can lead to default.
