What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to pay ongoing training fees under specific circumstances. These fees are payable if Aira Fitness conducts additional training that the franchisee attends. The fees can be up to $1,000 per day, with the current rate being $500 per day, plus travel costs.
Aira Fitness may require a franchisee to receive ongoing training if they are not meeting the company's standards. In such cases, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs of the training or assistance at the then-current rate. This means that if a franchisee's performance or operational practices fall below the standards set by Aira Fitness, they may be mandated to undergo additional training at their own expense.
This policy highlights the importance of maintaining Aira Fitness's standards and the potential financial implications for franchisees who fail to do so. It is essential for prospective franchisees to understand these requirements and factor in the potential costs of additional training if their business does not initially meet the franchisor's expectations. Franchisees should proactively seek support and guidance from Aira Fitness to ensure they are meeting the required standards and avoid being required to undergo additional, costly training.
