What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee employs a general manager, that manager must attend and successfully complete all required training programs. Specifically, the general manager must attend and complete the Initial Training Program before opening the Aira Fitness Business.
In addition to the initial training, the General Manager must attend and complete all other training programs that Aira Fitness requires from time to time. Aira Fitness may also require the Principal and General Managers to attend additional training programs if the location does not maintain a minimum of 150 members after the first year of business for 2 consecutive months.
The franchisee is responsible for covering the expenses, including wages, for the general manager to attend the training programs. If additional training, assistance, or consultation is required due to not maintaining the minimum membership requirement, the franchisee must cover all associated costs and expenses.
