What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Aira Fitness retains the right to re-inspect the facilities and products of any supplier, including those already approved. If a supplier or an item fails to continue meeting Aira Fitness's criteria, Aira Fitness can revoke its approval. The FDD states that Aira Fitness will provide notice of any revocation through a detailed phone call or email.
The general criteria Aira Fitness uses to approve a proposed supplier are: (i) cost of product; (ii) quality of product (iii) ability to make product in conformity with their specifications.
This means that even after a supplier is initially approved, Aira Fitness franchisees are not guaranteed that the supplier will remain approved. Aira Fitness can change its standards or a supplier's products may change, leading to a revocation of approval. This could force franchisees to switch suppliers, potentially impacting costs and operations. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand Aira Fitness's standards and how they are enforced to assess the risk of supplier changes.
