What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Aira Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document, Aira Fitness grants the franchisee the right and license to use its marks under specific conditions. The franchisee is permitted to operate a single Aira Fitness Business, sell authorized products and services at retail from the business premises, use the marks to promote the business, and solicit memberships for the Aira Fitness Business. The franchisee's use of the marks must adhere to Aira Fitness's standards and requirements regarding quality, safety, and performance.

However, this license is limited. Franchisees cannot sell services and products identified by the marks at any location other than the Authorized Location, or through any other distribution channels, including the internet. They also cannot sell services and products identified by the marks to any person or entity for resale or further distribution. The agreement specifies that Aira Fitness retains ownership of the marks and all associated goodwill, and the franchisee's use of the marks benefits Aira Fitness.

Upon termination of the franchise agreement, all rights to use the marks revert to Aira Fitness. The franchisee must immediately cease all use of the marks and any confusingly similar materials, remove all signage bearing the marks, and transfer all telephone numbers and assumed name rights to Aira Fitness. The franchisee is responsible for altering the appearance of the business to differentiate it from licensed Aira Fitness Businesses. These post-term obligations are critical for franchisees to understand, as they dictate the extent to which they can continue operating a similar business after the franchise agreement ends.
