What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, payments for the pod package are made to 'Our Affiliate.' The cost of the pod package ranges from $14,400 to $40,000. This payment is due upon signing either the Pod Package Purchase Agreement or the Pod Package Lease Agreement, depending on whether the franchisee chooses to purchase or lease the pod.
If an Aira Fitness franchisee chooses to purchase the Pod Package, they must pay the full amount in cash. Alternatively, if they opt to lease the Pod Package, they are required to pay a nonrefundable deposit of $12,000 upon signing the Pod Package Lease.
In addition to the purchase price or lease deposit, the estimate includes rent on the Pod Package for a period that covers between one and two months before the business opens and the first three months of operation. This rental cost ranges from $2,400 to $3,000 if the franchisee chooses to lease the Pod Package. Franchisees should note that rent payments begin on the first day of the month following the delivery of the Pod Package.
