What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aira Fitness FDD, franchisees must adhere to specific guidelines for marking and identifying their Aira Fitness Business. The franchisee is obligated to use "AIRA FITNESS" as the trade name and must not use any other mark or words to identify the business without prior written consent from Aira Fitness. This extends to preventing the use of "AIRA" or "AIRA FITNESS" in the franchisee's business entity name (corporation, partnership, etc.).
Franchisees can use the Aira Fitness marks on materials like business cards, stationery, and checks, provided they accurately depict the marks, include a statement indicating independent ownership and operation, and do not combine the marks with other trademarks without written approval. Additionally, Aira Fitness can request copies of any materials displaying the marks.
The franchisee is required to post a prominent sign identifying the business as an Aira Fitness franchise. This sign must be in a format that Aira Fitness deems reasonably acceptable, acknowledging the independent ownership and operation by the franchisee and that the AIRA FITNESS mark is owned by Aira Fitness and used under license. These requirements ensure brand consistency and proper representation of the Aira Fitness brand.
