Aira_Fitness Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
During the term of this Agreement and provided you are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, neither we nor our affiliates will develop or operate, or grant to anyone else the right to develop or operate an Aira Fitness Business that is physically located in the Designated Area (other than at Special Sites, as described in Section 2.D).
You also acknowledge and agree that certain locations within and outside the Designated Area are by their nature unique and separate in character from sites generally developed as Aira Fitness Businesses. As a result, you agree
that the following locations ("Special Sites") are excluded from the Designated Area and we have the right to develop, license or franchise Aira Fitness Businesses within such locations: (1) military bases; (2) public transportation facilities, including, without limitation, airports, railway stations, limited access highway travel plazas and other transportation terminals; (3) sports facilities, including race tracks; (4) student unions or other similar buildings on college or university campuses; (5) hotels, resorts or similar short-term lodging; (6) apartment or condominium complex; and (7) corporate office buildings or office parks.
The Designated Area may overlap with designated areas of other Aira Fitness Businesses. In the overlapping areas, each Aira Fitness Business is permitted to market and solicit for members (see Section 6.B). Once identified by us, the Designated Area is fixed for the initial term of the Franchise Agreement unless you relocate the Aira Fitness Business and upon renewal or transfer (see Sections 4.B, 5.G, and 12.C). The driving miles are fixed as of the date the Designated Area is determined by us based on our mapping program used at the time the Designated Area is determined (currently, ESRI). No Designated Area will be enlarged due to any future road construction or other alteration.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, during the term of the agreement, Aira Fitness and its affiliates will not develop, operate, or grant anyone else the right to develop or operate an Aira Fitness Business that is physically located in the Designated Area. This restriction is in place as long as the franchisee remains in compliance with the terms of the agreement. However, this restriction does not apply to Special Sites, which are excluded from the Designated Area.
Special Sites include locations that are unique in character from typical Aira Fitness Business locations. These include military bases, public transportation facilities (airports, railway stations, highway travel plazas), sports facilities (race tracks), student unions or buildings on college campuses, hotels/resorts, apartment or condominium complexes, and corporate office buildings or office parks. Aira Fitness reserves the right to develop, license, or franchise Aira Fitness Businesses within these Special Sites, even if they fall within a franchisee's Designated Area.
Furthermore, the Designated Area may overlap with other Aira Fitness Businesses, in which case each business is permitted to market and solicit for members in the overlapping areas. The Designated Area is fixed for the initial term of the Franchise Agreement unless the franchisee relocates or upon renewal or transfer. The driving miles that define the Designated Area are fixed as of the date Aira Fitness determines the area based on their mapping program at the time of determination.
