What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must cooperate with Aira Fitness or its representatives during inspections. This cooperation includes providing any reasonably requested assistance. Aira Fitness has the right to enter the franchisee's business to examine operations and facilities, including inspecting services and products to ensure compliance with the Franchise Agreement, the Operations Manual, and the Aira Fitness system.
During these inspections, Aira Fitness can observe, photograph, and video tape business operations for consecutive or intermittent periods as deemed necessary. They also have the right to interview personnel and members of the Aira Fitness Business. However, the inspections are not intended to control the franchisee's day-to-day operations.
Aira Fitness also reserves the right to require the franchisee's Principal to be present during any inspection. Additionally, franchisees must provide current contact information for their landlord, lender, vendors, and suppliers upon request. Franchisees also agree that Aira Fitness can communicate with these parties regarding the franchisee's operation of the Aira Fitness Business or any defaults under agreements with them, and authorize these parties to communicate with Aira Fitness and provide information about the business.
If a franchisee's books and records are not produced at the time of inspection and audit, the franchisee will pay for all inspection and audit costs, provided Aira Fitness gave at least five days' notice before the scheduled date. Furthermore, franchisees must allow Aira Fitness representatives to enter the Aira Fitness Business at any time, without prior notice, to inspect and audit business operations, records, and reports, excluding employment records.
