Anytime Fitness Info

An Anytime Fitness franchise allows you to truly have the best of both worlds: a business with a track record for growth in a high demand market segment with a lifestyle that allows for flexibility and family time.  Here’s why Anytime Fitness is the right opportunity for you, allowing you to take advantage of this rapidly growing space:

• Investing in yourself, but not being by yourself because of our systems and support.
• Low up-front investment in a recession-resilient industry.
• Say goodbye to endless work-weeks; let your business work for you.
• Find purpose in helping others improve their lives.
• We are a proven concept with over 3,500 clubs now open worldwide.
• Our proven model, new owner training, real estate assistance, and on-going franchisee support are some of the big reasons our existing franchisees continue to sign up for additional locations.

The perfect blend of several components makes Anytime Fitness extremely unique. The brand offers a business model and product that people need and enjoy in an industry that continues to grow every year. The convenience and affordability of their product, both for franchise owners and members, is just one of the many features that allow their concept to thrive. With Anytime Fitness, you can be your own boss, without having to go it alone. As a franchisee, you will have access to exclusive operational technology, including:

• Proprietary security systems, with integrated billing & payment processing.
• Member check-in and data management tools, with integrated marketing features.
• Tanning access systems, with integrated point-of-sale functionality.

As with every franchise opportunity, success is a combination of the industry demand, the franchise system and each individual owner’s efforts and work ethic.  Anytime Fitness is selective in its franchisee awarding process so that they can ensure they are partnering with individuals that share their values, their mission, and their willingness to do what it takes to be successful.  Click here to get more information on their Item 19 of their FDD.

Start-up costs to open an Anytime Fitness vary from market to market, based primarily on the cost of real estate.  The overall investment ranges from $131,002 to $722,796, depending on whether you are interested in their regular model or an Anytime Fitness Express.  This includes a one-time franchise fee of $42,500.  Unlike most franchises, the brand does not collect a percentage royalty on gross sales.  Anytime Fitness only charges a monthly fee of $549 to cover its ongoing training and support, and for continuing use of the franchise license, marks, etc.  More information can be found in the Item 7 of the brand's Franchise Disclosure Document.
