What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the Franchisor's Affiliate needs to repossess equipment, the franchisee must assemble the equipment and make it available to the Franchisor's Affiliate. The location for this assembly will be designated by the Franchisor's Affiliate, and it must be a place reasonably convenient to them.
This means that if Aira Fitness franchisees default on their lease agreement or otherwise breach the terms, they are obligated to cooperate with the Franchisor's Affiliate in the repossession process. This includes gathering the equipment and preparing it for pickup at a location that the affiliate finds suitable.
It is important to note that the Franchisor's Affiliate has the right to enter the franchisee's premises to repossess the equipment, with or without legal process, and the franchisee waives any claims for damages caused by such repossession. The franchisee is responsible for ensuring the equipment is readily accessible for repossession at the designated location to avoid further complications or legal actions.
