What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is responsible for specific taxes and fees related to the pre-fabricated modular building referred to as the "Pod." The franchisee is required to pay all personal property, sales, and use taxes, along with any other taxes assessed against or incurred by either the franchisee or Aira Fitness's affiliate in connection with the Pod.
In addition to these taxes, the franchisee is responsible for arranging and paying for the delivery of the Pod to their business premises. The purchase price for the Pod itself is Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00), payable in cash upon signing the agreement, and this amount is non-refundable.
The franchisee accepts the Pod "AS IS" and indemnifies Aira Fitness's affiliate against any third-party claims related to the Pod's use or performance. If the franchisee fails to meet their payment obligations, they will be responsible for all costs of collection and enforcement incurred by Aira Fitness's affiliate, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
