What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must remit 50% of the actual yearly maintenance fees collected from members, with a minimum payment of $19.50 per member. This payment is due upon the collection of the fee from members and is facilitated through Aira Fitness's payment processing system.
The remaining 50% of the yearly maintenance fees collected are designated for the franchisee to use for maintaining their gym. This arrangement implies that while Aira Fitness collects a portion of the maintenance fees, the franchisee retains the other portion to cover local maintenance expenses, ensuring the upkeep and quality of the fitness facility.
This fee structure is important for prospective franchisees to understand as it directly impacts their revenue and expense management. Franchisees need to ensure they collect sufficient maintenance fees to not only meet the minimum remittance to Aira Fitness but also to adequately fund the maintenance of their gym. Careful financial planning and membership pricing strategies are therefore essential for maintaining profitability and operational standards.
