What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for leasehold improvements for a pod location ranges from $4,000 to $15,600. These improvements may include flooring, interior walls, mirrors, painting, heating, and cooling. The higher amount assumes that you will need to install electrical sockets to the exterior of the pod and hire an electrician or carpenter for installation services.
The cost of leasehold improvements can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the local cost of contract work and supplies, as well as the extent to which the landlord contributes to the build-out. The FDD notes that the low estimate assumes the landlord will cover all of the cost of building out your Aira Fitness Business.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and discuss them with Aira Fitness and experienced contractors to obtain accurate estimates for their specific location. Understanding the potential costs and the level of landlord contribution is crucial for budgeting and financial planning.
