The building (exterior and interior), equipment, fixtures, signage and trade dress employed in the operation of your Aira Fitness Business must be maintained and refreshed in accordance with our requirements established periodically and any of our reasonable schedules prepared based upon our periodic evaluations of the premises.
Within a period of thirty (30) days (as we determine depending on the work needed) after the receipt of any particular report prepared following such an evaluation, you must affect the items of maintenance we designate, including the repair of defective equipment and items such as carpet and/or the replacement of irreparable or obsolete items of equipment and signage.
If, however, any condition presents a threat to members or to public safety, you must affect the items of maintenance immediately, as further described in Section 6.F.
If you fail to complete the required maintenance, we reserve the right (but no obligation) to do so on your behalf and you must reimburse us for our costs and expenses.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for maintaining the Aira Fitness Business location, including the building's exterior and interior, equipment, fixtures, signage, and trade dress. This maintenance must adhere to Aira Fitness's requirements and schedules, which are based on periodic evaluations of the premises.
Within a timeframe determined by Aira Fitness (typically around thirty days, depending on the work needed) after receiving a report from an evaluation, franchisees must address the maintenance items specified. This includes repairing defective equipment and items like carpet, and replacing irreparable or obsolete equipment and signage. If a condition poses a threat to members or public safety, the franchisee must immediately address the maintenance items.
If an Aira Fitness franchisee fails to complete the required maintenance, Aira Fitness reserves the right, but not the obligation, to perform the maintenance on the franchisee's behalf. In such cases, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Aira Fitness for all costs and expenses incurred. This provision ensures that Aira Fitness maintains brand standards and protects the safety and reputation of the business, while also placing the financial burden of neglected maintenance back on the franchisee.
