What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several actions can trigger a default under the Development Agreement. These include failing to meet deadlines in the Development Schedule, not complying with the agreement's terms, attempting unauthorized transfers of the agreement, or defaulting on any individual Franchise Agreement or other agreements with Aira Fitness.

Upon such a default, Aira Fitness has the discretion to terminate the agreement immediately without an opportunity to cure, reduce the number of Aira Fitness Centers the developer can establish, or exercise any other legal rights and remedies. Certain defaults, such as failing to identify an acceptable site or open the business in the allotted time, making misrepresentations in the franchise application, voluntary abandonment, loss of lease, unauthorized use of confidential information, bankruptcy, conviction of a felony, underreporting sales, unauthorized transfer, failure to use the approved payment processor, or failing to meet minimum membership or gross sales requirements for six consecutive months, result in immediate termination without an opportunity to cure.

Additionally, defaults occur automatically, without notice or opportunity to cure, if the developer is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, takes action of insolvency, has a receiver appointed, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, has a final judgment unsatisfied for 30 days, has execution levied against the business, or faces a foreclosure suit that is not dismissed within 30 days. These terms highlight the importance of adhering to the Development Agreement and maintaining financial stability to avoid potential default and termination.
