What training requirements must be complied with when transferring an Aira Fitness franchise?

According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee must comply with the training requirements outlined in Section 7.B of the franchise agreement. This means that whoever is taking over the Aira Fitness franchise needs to meet the standards for training that Aira Fitness has set.

Section 7.B specifies that the franchisee, and any general manager they employ, must adhere to all training requirements prescribed by Aira Fitness. Before opening, the franchisee must attend and complete the initial training program to Aira Fitness's satisfaction. If the franchisee has been given a notice of default for failing to meet operational standards, Aira Fitness can require additional training as a condition of curing the default. Any new general manager must also complete the training requirements within a reasonable time specified by Aira Fitness.

In practical terms, this means that a potential buyer of an Aira Fitness franchise will need to factor in the time and expense of completing the required training. This could involve initial training programs, additional training to address operational deficiencies, or training for a new general manager. The transferee will need to ensure they, and their staff, meet Aira Fitness's training standards to maintain compliance with the franchise agreement.
