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.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee voluntarily decides to relocate their Aira Fitness Business, their right to relocate becomes void, and their interest in the Franchise Agreement is considered voluntarily abandoned. However, this is conditional.
To avoid this abandonment, the franchisee must provide Aira Fitness with a notice of their intent to relocate at least sixty days before closing the current location. Additionally, they need to secure a new site within their designated area that Aira Fitness approves at least fifteen days before closing. The new Aira Fitness Business must then open within 24 hours of closing the previous location, and the franchisee must comply with any other reasonable conditions Aira Fitness requires.
The franchisee is responsible for covering all relocation costs, and Aira Fitness retains the right to charge the franchisee for any reasonable costs they incur during the relocation. Furthermore, Aira Fitness may modify the franchisee's Designated Area after the relocation to account for neighboring Aira Fitness Businesses and other relevant factors.
