What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for the initial fitness equipment package ranges from $9,300 to $130,165. This package must be purchased or leased from Aira Fitness's affiliate, though alternative approved suppliers may be used if the affiliate does not have equipment available.
If a franchisee chooses to purchase the initial fitness equipment package, they must pay the full amount in cash. Alternatively, if the franchisee chooses to lease the equipment, they must pay a nonrefundable deposit ranging from $5,078 to $13,930 for a Pod location or $8,472 to $44,359 for a Fitness Center location.
The estimate also includes rent on the initial fitness equipment package for one to two months before opening and the first three months of operation. This cost ranges from $828 to $2,985 for a Pod location or $1,408 to $9,815 for a Fitness Center location if the equipment is leased. Payment of rent begins on the first day of the month after the equipment is delivered. The lower estimate assumes leasing the smallest package, while the higher estimate assumes purchasing the largest package.
