What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase or lease an initial fitness equipment package from a supplier approved by Aira Fitness. This supplier may be Aira Fitness itself, its affiliate, or a third party.
The FDD identifies Pure Gym Equipment, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, as Franchisor's Affiliate. A purchase agreement is made between Pure Gym Equipment, LLC and the franchisee for the purchase of the Pod Package for the franchisee's Aira Fitness franchise business.
In practical terms, this means that new Aira Fitness franchisees do not have complete freedom to select their own equipment vendors. Instead, they must choose from a list of approved suppliers, which may include Aira Fitness or its affiliate, Pure Gym Equipment, LLC. This arrangement allows Aira Fitness to maintain quality control and standardization across all franchise locations. However, it may also limit a franchisee's ability to negotiate pricing or select equipment that best fits their specific needs, potentially impacting their initial investment and ongoing operational costs.
