What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must maintain a minimum of 150 members to meet the 'Minimum Membership Requirement'. This requirement begins on the one-year anniversary of the franchise opening for business. Failure to maintain this membership level can lead to consequences.
If an Aira Fitness franchise fails to maintain the Minimum Membership Requirement for two consecutive months during its second year of operation or thereafter, Aira Fitness may require the Principal and General Managers to attend additional training programs or provide on-site assistance and consultation at the franchisee's expense. The franchisee is responsible for covering all costs associated with this additional training, assistance, or consultation.
If the Aira Fitness franchise fails to maintain the Minimum Membership Requirement for six consecutive months during its second year of operation or thereafter, Aira Fitness has the right to eliminate the franchisee's territorial protection or even terminate the Franchise Agreement. This highlights the importance of consistent membership acquisition and retention for Aira Fitness franchisees to maintain their territorial rights and avoid potential termination of their franchise agreement.
It is important to note that the Minimum Membership Requirement is not a statement of projected income by Aira Fitness. This means that franchisees should not interpret this requirement as a guarantee of financial success, but rather as a benchmark for maintaining territorial protection and avoiding penalties.
