What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for a single Aira Fitness franchise varies depending on whether the franchisee establishes a Fitness Center location or a Pod location. For a Fitness Center location, the initial investment ranges from $125,682 to $532,959. For a Pod location, the initial investment ranges from $137,700 to $341,864.
These figures encompass various pre-opening expenses, including the initial franchise fee, equipment, leasehold improvements, and working capital. The FDD notes that costs can fluctuate based on factors such as the size and condition of the premises, local market conditions, and the franchisee's management skills. For example, the cost of leasehold improvements depends on how much the landlord contributes to the build-out. The initial investment also depends on whether the franchisee chooses to purchase or lease the initial fitness equipment package from Aira Fitness's affiliate.
For franchisees considering a Multi-Unit Development Agreement, the initial investment also varies depending on whether the franchisee establishes Fitness Center locations or Pod locations. The initial investment for three Fitness Center franchises ranges from $125,682 to $532,959, while the initial investment for five Fitness Center franchises ranges from $209,470 to $888,265. The initial investment for three Pod franchises ranges from $173,700 to $402,864, while the initial investment for five Pod franchises ranges from $289,500 to $671,440. These figures include the Development Fee of $6,000 for each additional Aira Fitness franchise to be developed under the Multi-Unit Development Agreement after the first one, which will be applied to each initial franchise fee.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review all components of the initial investment with a business advisor, considering their individual circumstances and market conditions. It is important to note that these are estimates, and actual costs may vary. Franchisees should also consider ongoing fees and expenses, such as royalties and marketing fees, which are detailed elsewhere in the FDD.
