What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the Developer, or any of its associated parties such as shareholders, members, managers, partners, officers, or directors, engages in verbal or physical assault or abuse against any officer, director, member, manager, or employee of Aira Fitness or its affiliates, or against any Aira Fitness franchisee or their employees, the consequences depend on whether a prior warning has been issued.
Specifically, such behavior constitutes grounds for default only if it occurs after the Developer receives a verbal or written warning from Aira Fitness regarding the conduct. If the behavior occurs after such a warning, Aira Fitness has the right to terminate the Development Agreement immediately without providing an opportunity to cure the default.
This policy highlights the importance Aira Fitness places on maintaining a respectful and safe environment within its franchise network. It also places a burden on the franchisee to ensure that all people associated with the Developer's business conduct themselves appropriately, and that they heed any warnings issued by Aira Fitness. Failure to do so can result in the immediate termination of the Development Agreement, which would have significant financial and operational repercussions for the franchisee.
