What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must not duplicate any materials containing Confidential Information, including Member Information. Confidential Information includes member information, contact information, and payment information concerning prospective and former members, as well as proprietary information contained in the Manual or otherwise communicated to the franchisee. Franchisees may only use Confidential Information to operate their Aira Fitness Business.
Franchisees must ensure their general manager and any employee with access to Confidential Information sign a nondisclosure and confidentiality agreement in a form satisfactory to Aira Fitness. A copy of each agreement must be provided to Aira Fitness upon request. This obligation to maintain confidentiality extends beyond the term of the Franchise Agreement, meaning even after the agreement expires or is terminated, the franchisee is still responsible for protecting this information.
These measures are typical in franchising to protect the brand's proprietary information and customer data. By requiring signed confidentiality agreements and restricting the use of Confidential Information, Aira Fitness aims to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of sensitive data that could harm the business or its members. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the definition of Confidential Information and ensure they have systems in place to comply with these requirements.
