What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Preliminary Designated Area, which is a general geographic area selected by the franchisee for operating their Aira Fitness Business before a specific site is approved, is identified on the Summary Pages of the Franchise Agreement. Within 90 days after signing the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee must secure a site for their Aira Fitness Business within this Preliminary Designated Area.
Once Aira Fitness approves the location, the specific location (referred to as the "Authorized Location") and the final Designated Area will be detailed in Attachment A of the Franchise Agreement. The Designated Area is defined as a radius between 1 and 3 miles from the Authorized Location, taking into account factors like zip codes, natural and man-made boundaries, political boundaries, and traffic patterns. Aira Fitness retains sole discretion over these factors when defining the Designated Area, also considering cultural demographics, household income and composition, population growth trends, and the density of residential and business entities.
It is important to note that Aira Fitness franchisees do not receive an exclusive territory. They may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other distribution channels. Aira Fitness reserves the right to operate or franchise other businesses, even those offering similar fitness services under different trademarks, both within and outside the Designated Area. However, Aira Fitness will not establish or franchise another Aira Fitness Business within the franchisee's Designated Area as long as the franchisee complies with the Franchise Agreement and meets the minimum membership requirements.
