What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Agreement, the company and its affiliate have developed a proprietary business format and system (referred to as the "System") for operating an exercise facility, known as an "Aira Fitness Business". This system is designed for both traditional fitness centers in commercial spaces and pre-fabricated modular buildings ("Pods").
The Aira Fitness system encompasses several key components. It includes automated member billing and collection procedures, along with the use of Aira Fitness's proprietary and confidential information. The system also incorporates a distinct interior layout, design, décor, color scheme, graphics, fixtures, and furnishings. Furthermore, it establishes specific operating and customer service standards and procedures, as well as advertising and marketing specifications and requirements.
In order to maintain uniformity across all Aira Fitness locations, franchisees must adhere to specific product and operational standards. Franchisees are required to use proprietary or non-proprietary equipment as specified in the Aira Fitness manual or other written directives. They must also purchase or lease an initial fitness equipment package from an approved supplier. If operating from a Pod, franchisees must purchase or lease the Pod from an approved supplier. Additionally, franchisees are obligated to use any technology system that Aira Fitness develops or selects, including all updates and modifications, which may include hardware and software for video surveillance, door access, digital media, telephone systems, billing, and business management programs.
