What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must maintain a minimum level of membership after their first year of operation. Specifically, beginning on the one-year anniversary of opening for business, an Aira Fitness franchise is required to have at least 150 members. This is referred to as the "Minimum Membership Requirement".
If an Aira Fitness location fails to meet this membership threshold for two consecutive months during its second year or any subsequent year, Aira Fitness has the right to intervene. The franchisor may require the franchisee's Principal and General Managers to attend additional training programs. Alternatively, Aira Fitness may opt to provide on-site assistance and consultation to help improve membership numbers.
It's important to note that if Aira Fitness provides additional training, assistance, or consultation, the franchisee is responsible for covering all associated costs and expenses. Furthermore, if the Aira Fitness franchise fails to maintain the minimum membership requirement for six consecutive months, Aira Fitness may eliminate the franchisee's territorial protection or even terminate the Franchise Agreement. This underscores the importance of actively managing and growing the membership base to sustain the franchise's viability and adherence to the franchise agreement.
