Does Aira Fitness guarantee that the negotiated purchase arrangements will result in lower prices for products or services compared to the market?

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Aira Fitness negotiates purchase arrangements for the benefit of franchisees, specifically for the Initial Fitness Equipment Package. However, Aira Fitness does not guarantee that the prices for these products or services will be lower than other products or services available on the market. This means that while Aira Fitness attempts to secure favorable pricing, franchisees may find similar or identical products at different price points from other suppliers.

As an Aira Fitness franchisee, it's important to understand that the negotiated purchase arrangements are intended to be beneficial but are not a guarantee of the lowest possible price. Franchisees should still conduct their own market research to ensure they are comfortable with the pricing of required purchases. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, where franchisors leverage their network's buying power but cannot always promise the absolute lowest prices due to market fluctuations and other factors.

Furthermore, the FDD states that Aira Fitness does not have any purchasing or distribution cooperatives in the System as of the date of the disclosure document. Aira Fitness also does not provide any material benefits to franchisees, such as renewal rights or the right to acquire additional franchises, based on their purchases from approved or designated suppliers. This means that franchisees are not incentivized through additional benefits to purchase from Aira Fitness's designated suppliers.
