What is the estimated range for the initial franchise fee and other initial fees payable to Aira Fitness or its affiliates for establishing 3 Fitness Center franchises?

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial franchise fee and other initial fees payable to Aira Fitness or its affiliates for establishing 3 Fitness Center franchises ranges from $125,682 to $532,959. These fees are associated with opening a Fitness Center location, which typically occupies 600 to 2,600 square feet of commercial space. Prospective franchisees should note that this estimate does not include the cost of the land.

The FDD indicates that these estimates are based on Aira Fitness's affiliates' experience in operating similar businesses. However, the actual costs may vary depending on factors such as adherence to the Aira Fitness system, management skills, local economic conditions, and competition. The document advises potential franchisees to carefully review these figures with a business advisor before making any decision to purchase a franchise.

It's important to consider that all payments are generally nonrefundable unless otherwise permitted by a third-party supplier. The initial investment can vary widely based on decisions such as whether to purchase or lease the initial fitness equipment package, the extent of leasehold improvements required, and the ability to negotiate favorable lease terms with landlords. Franchisees should also factor in additional operating expenses and working capital needed for the first three months of operation.
