Does Aira Fitness require a franchisee to enter into membership contracts with members for access to Aira Fitness facilities?

Yes, according to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to enter into membership contracts with members for access to Aira Fitness facilities. The FDD specifies that franchisees will be entering into membership contracts with Aira Fitness Business members, which permit them access to the Aira Fitness Business facilities. Furthermore, Aira Fitness requires that franchisees use their standard form of Membership Agreement, though this may be altered to comply with state and local laws.

The membership agreement must include a reciprocity provision, a waiver and release of Aira Fitness and its affiliates, a requirement for members to pay a yearly maintenance fee in addition to ongoing fees, and a statement identifying the Aira Fitness Business as an independently-owned franchised location. All membership agreements and billings must be processed through an approved technology system.

Aira Fitness also requires franchisees to execute a Membership Contract Assignment Agreement, which allows Aira Fitness to take over the membership contracts in the event of the franchise agreement's expiration or termination. This ensures the continuity and stability of the Aira Fitness Business. Additionally, franchisees must maintain a minimum of 150 members after the first year of business.
