What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aira Fitness FDD, franchisees must provide immediate notice of any change in the designated Principal, who is the owner with majority ownership interest responsible for the Aira Fitness Business. This Principal must complete the initial training program and have the authority to make decisions and bind the franchisee in agreements with Aira Fitness. The franchisee must arrange for any new Principal to attend the initial training program.
Additionally, if a franchisee voluntarily decides to relocate their Aira Fitness Business, they must provide Aira Fitness with notice of their intent to relocate no less than sixty (60) days prior to closing the business. They must also secure a site within their Designated Area that Aira Fitness accepts fifteen (15) days prior to the closure. The new Aira Fitness Business must be open for business within 24 hours of closing the previous location, and the franchisee must comply with any other conditions Aira Fitness reasonably requires.
These stipulations ensure that Aira Fitness maintains control over key personnel and location decisions, which are critical for maintaining brand consistency and operational standards. The immediate notice requirement for changes in the Principal allows Aira Fitness to ensure that the replacement is adequately trained and authorized. The 60-day notice for relocation provides Aira Fitness with sufficient time to assess the new site and ensure it meets their criteria, minimizing potential disruptions to the business and protecting the brand's image.
