What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Aira Fitness or an affiliate may engage in administrative tasks related to member administration. These tasks include administering online enrollment or membership transfer and reciprocity programs. Aira Fitness can take actions in accordance with their current policies, which may include transferring members to and from a franchisee's Aira Fitness Business and providing online member enrollment.
Aira Fitness can make corrections as necessary, including issuing credits and charges for membership dues to affected Aira Fitness Businesses if a member is mistakenly transferred to the wrong location. These actions are intended to benefit the brand and ensure uniformity within the Aira Fitness system, rather than to exert control over an individual franchisee's business operations.
This means that Aira Fitness retains the authority to manage certain aspects of member administration to maintain brand consistency and operational efficiency across all franchise locations. While this centralized approach may streamline processes and enhance the overall customer experience, franchisees should ensure they understand the specific policies and procedures governing member administration to avoid potential disputes or misunderstandings regarding membership transfers and dues.
