Aira_Fitness Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You may not relocate your Aira Fitness Business without our prior written consent.
If you need to relocate because of condemnation, destruction, or expiration or cancellation of your lease for reasons other than your breach, we will grant you authority to do so at a site acceptable to us that is within your Designated Area, is reasonably suited for an Aira Fitness Business and does not infringe on the rights of any other AIRA Fitness franchisee, provided that the new Aira Fitness Business is open and operating within sixty (60) days after you discontinue operation at the present Aira Fitness Business, all in accordance with our then-current standards.
If you voluntarily decide to relocate the Aira Fitness Business, your right to relocate the Aira Fitness Business will be void
and your interest in this Agreement will be voluntarily abandoned, unless you have given us notice of your intent to relocate not less than sixty (60) days prior to closing the Aira Fitness Business, have procured a site within your Designated Area that we accept fifteen (15) days prior to such closure, have opened the new Aira Fitness Business for business within 24 hours of such closure and complied with any other conditions that we reasonably require. You must pay the costs of any relocation, and we reserve the right to charge you for any reasonable costs that we incur. Upon relocation of your Aira Fitness Business for any reason, we may modify your Designated Area, in our sole judgment, to take into account the designated areas of neighboring Aira Fitness Businesses and other factors.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Aira Fitness grants a franchisee authority to relocate due to condemnation, destruction, or lease expiration (not due to the franchisee's breach), the new site must meet specific criteria. The relocation site must be within the franchisee's Designated Area, be reasonably suited for an Aira Fitness Business, and not infringe on the rights of any other Aira Fitness franchisee. Additionally, the new Aira Fitness Business must be open and operating within sixty (60) days after discontinuing operation at the previous location, adhering to Aira Fitness's then-current standards.
If a franchisee voluntarily decides to relocate, their right to relocate will be void unless they meet certain conditions. They must provide Aira Fitness with notice of their intent to relocate at least sixty (60) days before closing the current business. They also need to secure a site within their Designated Area that Aira Fitness accepts fifteen (15) days before closure, and the new business must open within 24 hours of closing the old one. Compliance with any other reasonable conditions imposed by Aira Fitness is also required. The franchisee is responsible for covering all relocation costs, and Aira Fitness reserves the right to charge for any reasonable costs they incur.
Upon relocation, Aira Fitness may modify the franchisee's Designated Area to consider the designated areas of neighboring Aira Fitness Businesses and other relevant factors. This ensures that the relocation does not negatively impact other franchisees and maintains a balanced market presence. Franchisees should be aware that failure to meet these relocation requirements can result in the loss of their franchise rights and significant financial burdens.
