What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to maintain the Pod (the fitness equipment building) in good condition and working order at their own expense. This includes entering into and maintaining any maintenance contracts required by the manufacturer of the Pod for the term of each Schedule.
The franchisee must provide a copy of the maintenance contract and all supplements to Franchisor's Affiliate. If the franchisee enters into a maintenance contract with a party other than the manufacturer, they must have the manufacturer recertify the Pod at their own expense at the expiration of the lease or any renewals. The lease continues under the same terms until recertification is obtained.
This requirement ensures that Aira Fitness's equipment is properly maintained, and the franchisor's affiliate is kept informed of the maintenance arrangements. This protects the integrity of the Aira Fitness brand and ensures consistent standards across all franchise locations. The franchisee bears the financial responsibility for these maintenance contracts and recertification, which should be factored into their operating costs.
