The fitness brand, which was founded with a mission to provide valued customers with a convenient and results-based exercise solution, has signed a deal with Honduras-based organization Lady Lee Corporation. Lady Lee Corporation will sell, open and manage Workout Anytime gyms in Belize, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama and act as the Master Franchisee for each country.&nbsp;Lady Lee Corporation develops multi-purpose shopping centers that combine food establishments, office spaces and more. The company also owns and operates Wendy’s franchises in Honduras and Venture X franchises throughout Central America. Workout Anytime is the perfect addition to the Lady Lee Corporation portfolio.&nbsp;“Workout Anytime is a well-structured franchise, with well-defined procedures and a highly aggressive pricing and service strategy that does not yet exist in the Central American region,” Lady Lee Corporation Director of Marketing and Advertising Félix Rivera said. “Our partnership will enable people from different social backgrounds to improve their lifestyle through a highly modern and well-equipped gym concept at a low price.”Lady Lee Corporation has three openings planned for 2020 in Honduras and is scouting real estate for more locations in that country, as well as throughout Central America and in the Dominican Republic. Rivera and his team look forward to bringing a valuable service and job opportunities to the region through the partnership.&nbsp;“Through our Lady Lee Foundation, we build and execute the social investment strategy of Lady Lee Corporation, identifying, studying and providing solutions to the fundamental problems in high-risk communities in Honduras,” Rivera said. “It is with this philosophy that we stay present, assuming as a socially responsible company the commitment to promote the development of our communities, with actions aimed at generating value in the fields of health, education and childhood.”Workout Anytime’s leadership team is thrilled that the Lady Lee Corporation will represent the brand in Central America and the Dominican Republic.&nbsp;“Workout Anytime has always had ambitious expansion plans, predicated on finding the right partner, which is why we’re is so excited about associating with Lady Lee Corporation,” Workout Anytime COO Mark de Gorter said. “The Lady Lee Corporation has extensive experience bringing a variety of leading brands to Central America and the Dominican Republic. Their strong presence in retail franchising, as well as real estate development, provides the perfect partnership to launch our international expansion into that region.”Workout Anytime was first founded in 1999 and has since grown to more than 160 clubs nationwide, all of which are locally owned and operated. This new partnership marks a major turning point for the brand in its mission to surpass the 200-unit mark and capture a global audience.&nbsp;“Workout Anytime has come a long way in our 20-year history, and we’re far from finished growing,” Workout Anytime Director of Franchise Development Terri Harof said. “We have many tools in place to help our franchisees grow, including pre-negotiated real estate and strong developer partnerships, and we’re eager to continue bringing new franchisees on board. This is an exciting time to be part of the Workout Anytime brand, and our partnership with Lady Lee Corporation proves that we are in it to win it.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

ATLANTA —&nbsp;<a href="https://workoutanytimefranchise.com/">Workout Anytime</a>, the premium 24/7 fitness franchise with more than 190 locations nationwide, has appointed the viral Savannah baseball star and influencer Kyle “KJ” Jackson as its first Chief Aura Officer, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to intentionally leading culture, connection, and community across its clubs.KJ, known for his high-energy presence and ability to connect with fans across generations, will serve as a culture-focused ambassador for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/workoutanytime/info">Workout Anytime</a>. The role is designed to extend beyond social media into the member experience, from digital welcomes and club-level storytelling, to new ways for members to share their own stories.“Workout Anytime has always been more than a place just to work out,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynsay-flynt-5b6b54b3/">Lynsay Flynt</a>, Director of Marketing at Workout Anytime. “Over the past year, especially through The After campaign, we realized we weren’t just talking about fitness results. What truly makes the journey transformative isn’t access or equipment alone, it’s how people feel when they walk through our doors. It’s the energy, the consistency, and the human connection that reminds them they belong.”Flynt said the Chief Aura Officer role is meant to steward and lead the brand’s culture with intention as the franchise system continues to grow.“When we talk about aura, it’s not about hype or volume, it’s about presence,” Flynt said. “From the first time I met KJ, he showed a rare ability to walk into a room and make people feel seen, welcomed, and inspired. His personal journey, overcoming injuries and obstacles that could have derailed his path, instead became a launching pad for his growth and success. Like so many people, KJ faced real hurdles, and it’s that authenticity, that lived experience, that makes his aura such a natural fit for the culture and message that Workout Anytime is championing.”The partnership between Workout Anytime and KJ gained national attention through “The After” campaign in 2025, which proved to be a defining moment for the brand, demonstrating what’s possible when an athlete becomes embedded in a brand’s culture and story, rather than simply representing it. This moment became a natural bridge for KJ to step in as Chief Aura Officer.“Aura isn’t something you claim, it’s something people feel,” said KJ. “For me, it comes from being real, relatable, and grounded. I never want to feel above anyone. I want people to know that if it’s possible for me, it’s possible for them too.”For KJ, partnering with Workout Anytime as Chief Aura Officer is deeply personal, and a passion for him to continue to use his platform and influence for good.“I’ve faced injuries, setbacks, and moments where everything felt uncertain, but I learned that small wins, the right people, and the right environment can change everything,” KJ said. “Workout Anytime creates that environment, a place where people belong, feel supported, and are empowered to become their best selves, one step at a time.”By introducing the Chief Aura Officer role, Workout Anytime is taking an industry-first approach, placing culture, energy and authenticity at the center of leadership, not as a campaign or tagline, but as a lived experience across every club and community it serves.“This partnership with KJ feels like a natural next step for our brand,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-pugh-31296b41/">Jerry Pugh</a>, CEO of Workout Anytime. “He doesn’t just understand our culture, he lives it, and we’re excited to grow together.”For more information or to find a location near you, visit&nbsp;<a href="http://workoutanytime.com">workoutanytime.com</a>.ABOUT WORKOUT ANYTIME:Atlanta-based Workout Anytime is a premium, 24/7 fitness concept with over 190 locations across the U.S. Founded to provide members with state-of-the-art fitness facilities and an exceptional experience at an accessible price point, the brand delivers a strong, profitable business model for franchisees.
