What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, to be eligible for renewal, a franchisee must adhere to the training requirements prescribed by Aira Fitness. Prior to opening, the franchisee must attend the initial training program and complete it to Aira Fitness's satisfaction. If a general manager is employed, they must also meet these training requirements.
If a franchisee receives 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 complete the required training within a timeframe specified by Aira Fitness. The franchisee cannot allow anyone to manage the Aira Fitness Business's operations regularly unless they have successfully completed all applicable training to Aira Fitness's satisfaction.
Aira Fitness may also require franchisees and key employees to attend ongoing training sessions at designated locations, with the franchisee covering the costs, including a per diem training fee not exceeding $1,000 per day, plus travel and living expenses for the trainers. While the FDD outlines various training obligations, it does not explicitly state that fulfilling these training requirements is a condition for franchise renewal. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Aira Fitness whether these training obligations are, in fact, prerequisites for renewal.
