What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, once the Authorized Location for the Aira Fitness Business has been identified, Aira Fitness will define a Designated Area around it in Attachment A. This Designated Area will be substantially the same as the Preliminary Designated Area in terms of size, shape, and demographics. However, if the Authorized Location is not within the Preliminary Designated Area, Aira Fitness will define the Designated Area based on their current criteria for size, demographics, and topographical features.
The Designated Area, once defined in Attachment A, remains constant throughout the initial term of the Franchise Agreement unless the franchisee relocates or upon renewal or transfer. During the term of the agreement, provided the franchisee is in compliance, Aira Fitness and its affiliates will not develop or operate, nor grant anyone else the right to develop or operate, an Aira Fitness Business physically located in the Designated Area (other than at Special Sites).
The Designated Area will be an area of up to 3 driving miles from the Authorized Location, as determined by Aira Fitness in its sole judgment after reviewing relevant factors. The Designated Area may overlap with designated areas of other Aira Fitness Businesses, and in these overlapping areas, each Aira Fitness Business is permitted to market and solicit for members. Once identified by Aira Fitness, the Designated Area is fixed for the initial term of the Franchise Agreement unless the franchisee relocates or upon renewal or transfer.
