What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific standards and utilize approved resources to maintain uniformity within the Aira Fitness System. This includes using only proprietary or non-proprietary equipment specified in the manual or other written directives. Franchisees are required to purchase or lease an initial fitness equipment package from an approved supplier, which may include Aira Fitness itself, its affiliates, or a third party. All other designated equipment, such as security and door access systems, signage, and software, must also be acquired from approved suppliers. If operating from a Pod, franchisees must purchase or lease the Pod Package from an approved supplier. Franchisees must get approval before adding any additional equipment. Replacement fitness equipment must also be purchased or leased from approved suppliers.
Franchisees are obligated to offer and sell only approved products and services, maintaining a sufficient inventory to meet customer demand as outlined in the manual. They cannot offer any unapproved products or services without prior written consent and must adhere to all quality and customer service standards. Membership sales must comply with the terms and conditions specified by Aira Fitness, evidenced by written or electronic Membership Agreements. All member and billing information must be promptly and accurately entered into the approved technology system according to Aira Fitness's policies.
The Aira Fitness system also incorporates a technology component. Franchisees must purchase and use any technology system that Aira Fitness develops or selects, including all updates and modifications. This Technology System may include hardware and software for video surveillance, door access, digital media, telephone systems, billing, electronic point-of-sale cash registers, and business management programs.
