What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Private Studio' designation is based on the size of a Fitness Center location. Specifically, Aira Fitness Businesses operated from Fitness Centers with less than 700 square feet may, with the franchisor's approval, be designated as a 'Private Studio.' These Private Studios have a maximum entry limit of 4 members at one time.
This designation impacts the operational capacity of the Aira Fitness location, limiting the number of members who can be present simultaneously. This could affect revenue potential, particularly during peak hours, but it may also lower operating costs due to reduced wear and tear and potentially lower staffing needs.
For a prospective franchisee, understanding the implications of this designation is crucial. If considering a smaller Fitness Center location, the franchisee should carefully evaluate whether the 'Private Studio' designation and its associated member limit align with their revenue projections and business goals. It's also important to obtain clarity from Aira Fitness Franchising LLC regarding the criteria and process for obtaining approval for this designation.
