Anytime Fitness, the world&rsquo;s largest fitness club chain, is &ldquo;about to make history&rsquo; by opening a location on Antarctica, making it the first franchise to have locations on all seven continents, according to an article on <a href="https://www.franchising.com/news/20190408_anytime_fitness_is_poised_to_make_history_as_the_f.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=anytime-fitness-prepares-to-become-the-first-franchise-on-all-seven-continents-2709660" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Franchising.com</a>. 

&ldquo;Anytime Fitness currently has more than 4,500 gyms serving 4,000,000 members in nearly 40 countries on six continents. The company&#39;s first gym in Antarctica is currently being built on board a new adventure expedition ship operated by Antarctica21. The ship, Magellan Explorer, is a boutique luxury vessel, custom built in Chile for Antarctic air-cruises, with a capacity for 69 passengers,&rdquo; the article said.

Anytime Fitness&rsquo;s preferred vendor, Life Fitness, will equip the Magellan Explorer location with &ldquo;state-of-the-art cardio and strength-training machines, along with a wide array of free weights and other high-tech exercise equipment&mdash;making it the first fitness equipment manufacturer to outfit gyms on all seven continents,&rdquo; according to the article.

According to the article, Dave Mortensen, president and co-founder of Anytime Fitness, said, &ldquo;We&#39;re extraordinarily proud to partner with Antarctica21. Ever since the first Anytime Fitness gym opened in Cambridge, MN in 2002, it&#39;s been our goal to foster health and happiness everywhere possible. We&#39;re truly doing that now&mdash;plus penguins.&quot;
