What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to ensure that their general manager and any employee with access to confidential information sign a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement. The agreement must be in a form satisfactory to Aira Fitness.
Furthermore, the franchisee must provide a copy of each signed agreement to Aira Fitness upon request. This requirement ensures that Aira Fitness can verify that all necessary parties have agreed to protect the brand's confidential information.
This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors need to protect their trade secrets and other confidential information. By requiring franchisees to have their employees sign confidentiality agreements and provide copies to the franchisor, Aira Fitness can better enforce these protections and maintain consistency across all franchise locations.
