What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not allowed to make any alterations or substitutions to the brand's marks unless they receive explicit written instructions from Aira Fitness. This restriction is in place to maintain brand consistency and protect the goodwill associated with the Aira Fitness trademarks.
Aira Fitness retains the right to modify its system, including adopting new marks, program offerings, equipment, or techniques. Franchisees are obligated to adopt these changes as if they were part of the original Franchise Agreement. This means that Aira Fitness can direct franchisees to update their branding and operational methods to align with the evolving system.
If Aira Fitness instructs a franchisee to discontinue or modify the use of any mark, the franchisee must comply at their own expense within a reasonable timeframe. Aira Fitness assumes no liability or obligation for the franchisee's costs associated with these modifications or discontinuations. This underscores the importance of franchisees staying updated with any changes communicated by Aira Fitness and being prepared to invest in rebranding or operational adjustments as required.
