What modernization obligations must an Aira Fitness franchisee fulfill to be eligible for renewal?

According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, to be eligible for renewal, an Aira Fitness franchisee must comply with Section 5.F regarding modernization. This includes agreeing in writing to make the necessary capital expenditures to refurbish, replace, and modernize their Aira Fitness Business. The goal is to ensure the business conforms to Aira Fitness's then-current standards for new Aira Fitness Businesses.

Specifically, Aira Fitness requires franchisees to modernize their businesses within five years of the agreement's effective date. Additionally, all fitness equipment must be replaced within three years of the effective date. These requirements are designed to maintain public acceptance and patronage of the Aira Fitness Business and prevent deterioration.

Furthermore, the franchisee must ensure that the building (both exterior and interior), equipment, fixtures, signage, and trade dress are maintained and refreshed according to Aira Fitness's requirements and schedules. This maintenance includes repairing defective equipment and replacing irreparable or obsolete items. Failure to comply with these maintenance and modernization requirements may allow Aira Fitness to perform the work on the franchisee's behalf, with the franchisee responsible for reimbursing Aira Fitness for all costs incurred.
