What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee proposes to occupy their Aira Fitness Business premises under a lease, Aira Fitness must approve the lease in writing before the franchisee executes it. Aira Fitness may also require a Lease Addendum, in the form attached as Attachment E to the Franchise Agreement, as a condition of approval. The franchisee must provide Aira Fitness with a copy of the lease, and Aira Fitness has fifteen days to either accept or reject the site. After execution, the franchisee must deliver a fully executed copy of the approved Lease, as amended by the Lease Addendum, to Aira Fitness within ten days.
However, Aira Fitness's approval of a lease does not indicate that the economic terms of the lease are favorable. It only means that the lease contains the terms that Aira Fitness requires. The document also states that the landlord acknowledges that the provisions of the addendum are required pursuant to the Franchise Agreement and that the tenant may not lease the premises without this addendum.
Furthermore, the landlord acknowledges that the tenant is not an agent or employee of Aira Fitness, and the tenant cannot act for or bind Aira Fitness in any way. The landlord enters into the addendum with the understanding that it creates no duties, obligations, or liabilities for Aira Fitness. The addendum does not make Aira Fitness a party or guarantor to the lease and does not create any liability or obligation for Aira Fitness.
