What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and licenses for building and operating their Aira Fitness business. Specifically, before construction can begin, Aira Fitness requires written consent to the franchisee's submitted plans. These plans must align with Aira Fitness's design and layout requirements detailed in their manuals.
The franchisee must also secure all required permits, licenses, and architectural seals, ensuring compliance with all applicable ordinances, building codes, and legal requirements. This includes adhering to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and obtaining necessary zoning changes, building, utility, and sign permits and licenses. Franchisees must also maintain these permits and licenses throughout their operation.
Aira Fitness emphasizes that it is the franchisee's responsibility to ensure the premises are free from environmental contamination and comply with the ADA and other applicable laws. While Aira Fitness provides site approval, this does not guarantee profitability or compliance with all regulations; it merely indicates that the site meets their minimum criteria. Franchisees are expected to conduct their own due diligence to ensure full compliance with all local, state, and federal laws.
