What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may face specific staffing requirements imposed by state and local laws. Some states and municipalities may require Aira Fitness facilities to have a staff person present during all operating hours.
Furthermore, these regulations might mandate that the staff member on duty holds certifications in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or possesses other specialized training. This implies that franchisees may need to budget for the costs of training and certifying their employees to meet these requirements.
These regulations vary by location, so prospective Aira Fitness franchisees must investigate the specific laws in their area to ensure compliance. This could impact the franchisee's operating costs and staffing model.
