What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must provide written notice of their decision to renew the franchise agreement at least six months, but no more than 12 months, prior to the end of the current term. This notification allows Aira Fitness ample time to assess the franchisee's eligibility for renewal and to prepare the necessary documentation.
To be eligible for renewal, the franchisee must meet several conditions, including signing Aira Fitness's then-current franchise agreement (which may have materially different terms), complying with modernization requirements, not being in default, renewing the lease for the premises, meeting training requirements, executing a general release, and paying a renewal fee of $2,000. Meeting all these requirements ensures that the franchisee is in good standing and that the Aira Fitness business will continue to meet the franchisor's standards.
If the franchisee continues to operate the Aira Fitness business after the initial term expires but fails to meet all renewal requirements, Aira Fitness has the option to treat the agreement as either expired or continued on a month-to-month basis, known as an "Interim Period." During this Interim Period, all obligations remain in effect, but it does not create any new franchise rights. This arrangement provides Aira Fitness with flexibility while ensuring the franchisee remains compliant during the transition.
