What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the net change in the number of affiliate-owned outlets during 2023 was -1. This is based on having 8 affiliate-owned outlets at the start of 2023 and 7 at the end of the year.
It is important to note that while the total number of affiliate-owned Aira Fitness outlets decreased, this does not necessarily reflect the performance of individual locations. Factors such as closures, sales to franchisees, or reacquisition by the franchisor could contribute to this net decrease.
A prospective franchisee should inquire about the reasons for the decrease in affiliate-owned locations and the overall strategy of Aira Fitness regarding company-owned versus franchised locations. Understanding these trends can provide valuable insight into the stability and growth potential of the franchise system.
