Does Aira Fitness grant a license to its affiliate to use the marks?

According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, Aira Fitness has granted a license to its affiliate, Aira Fitness LLC, to use the Aira Fitness marks in the operation of its Aira Fitness businesses. This means that the affiliate company has the right to use the trademarks and logos associated with the Aira Fitness brand.

This arrangement is common in franchising, where a parent company licenses its brand and operating system to related entities or franchisees. The FDD states that there are no agreements in effect that significantly limit Aira Fitness's rights to use or license the use of any marks in any manner material to the franchise. This suggests that Aira Fitness retains control over its trademarks and can continue to license them to other franchisees without significant restrictions.

For a prospective Aira Fitness franchisee, this indicates that the franchisor is actively managing and licensing its brand assets. It also implies that the franchisee will be part of a network where both franchisor-owned and franchisee-owned locations operate under the same brand standards. The FDD also states that there are no infringing uses actually known to Aira Fitness that could materially affect a franchisee's use of the marks, which provides some assurance that the franchisee's use of the Aira Fitness marks will not be affected by legal challenges.
