What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate. This insurance coverage must include product liability, as well as personal and advertising injury coverage.
For franchisees operating multiple Aira Fitness locations under a single comprehensive general liability policy, the policy must also include "Per Location" aggregate limits. This ensures that the aggregate limit applies separately to each location, providing adequate coverage for each individual business.
Aira Fitness also requires that it and any entity with an insurable interest that it designates be named as additional insureds on all liability policies. Furthermore, each policy must contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of these additional insureds. This protects Aira Fitness from potential claims and liabilities arising from the franchisee's operations.
It is important to note that Aira Fitness may modify the required minimum insurance limits from time to time to reflect changes in circumstances, industry standards, experiences within the Aira Fitness system, standards of liability, and higher damage awards. Franchisees will receive written notice of any such changes.
