Who pays the shipping and delivery charges for the Aira Fitness equipment?

The 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) does not explicitly state who is responsible for paying the shipping and delivery charges for Aira Fitness equipment. However, the FDD does state that the franchisee is responsible for the costs of relocation if they choose to move their Aira Fitness business.

Item 23 outlines various financial responsibilities of the franchisee, such as covering the costs for ongoing training, staffing, attending meetings, technology systems, and yearly maintenance fees. It also states that the franchisee must purchase or lease an initial fitness equipment package from an approved supplier.

While the FDD details numerous financial obligations for the franchisee, it does not specify who bears the shipping and delivery costs for the required equipment. A prospective franchisee should clarify this with Aira Fitness during their due diligence, as these costs could be significant depending on the equipment and distance involved.

Therefore, a potential franchisee should seek clarification from Aira Fitness regarding the responsibility for shipping and delivery charges associated with equipment purchases or leases to fully understand the initial investment and ongoing operational costs.
