About Anytime Fitness

Widely recognised as a leader in the fitness industry, Anytime Fitness has been on the UK market for 10 years now and counting since. Established in 2002, perhaps more impressive is that the franchise is the world’s largest health chain and it has over 5,000 clubs open in 39 countries and growing.

The brand has new franchise opportunities available as it grows and expands. Will you raise your hand and grab your chance?

What the Franchisee is All About

The average size of an Anytime Fitness gym is around 6,000 square feet and a new member joins every three minutes. But apart from a large area for members to enjoy and participate in gym and fitness activities, what sets it apart from others is that it’s open 24/7/365. This means that members can fit a gym session in whenever it suits them and their schedules. Not the other way around.

The staff at Anytime Fitness gyms are super friendly and helpful, contributing to making the local community a more welcoming and enjoyable place. In addition to this, members are able to enjoy high-quality gym equipment and facilities.

With a “join one, join all” policy, members can visit Anytime Fitness clubs wherever these are located in the world.

Offering support that covers every aspect of the business – from training and locating a property,
to achieving a strong pre-sale, opening of the club and beyond – the Anytime Fitness franchise opportunity is not to be missed.

The Franchise Business Model

Anytime Franchise opportunities are now available in the UK and in Ireland. The franchise business model is simple to implement and the fixed franchise fee makes for an attractive offering. It’s ideal for those looking for more work/life balance. This is partially due to the low levels of staffing needed and the recurring income stream.

What’s more is that owing to a change in legislation that has taken place recently, high street opportunities are available for fitness franchises in the UK. This means that there are fewer planning obstacles and prospective franchisees can capitalise on the much sought after, high foot traffic locations.

The Ideal Franchisee Partner

According to Anytime Fitness, no previous industry experience is required in order for you to own and operate your fitness club. Nice-to-haves would be a passion for improving people’s health and making a difference in their lives.

The Cost

The minimum capital investment required to open your Anytime Fitness franchise starts at £122,000 and could go up to £187,000. The total Anytime Fitness project cost will be in the range of £455,000 and £745,000. It is estimated that the average monthly membership yield is £34 with an average membership per club of 1,059.

Getting Funding

Remember that financial lenders such as banks look on franchises more favourably than independent start-ups because they are considered more stable as a business model and this often means they are recession-proof. What’s more is that if you need help in getting financing to help you get started with your Anytime Fitness franchise business, you’ll be able to apply for funding of up to 75% of the total turnkey costs. Remember that your loan application will be subject to several criteria and individual circumstances at the time of the application such as income and credit score and it could take several days for you to receive the reply from the lender.

Training and Support

Anytime Fitness boasts an extensive team whose combined experience in opening hundreds of fitness clubs will help you excel. Extensive training and support is provided to franchisees and this is no better illustrated than by the Anytime Fitness Annual Conference. But this is just one sneak peek at the type of support you get. In fact, you can rely on extensive support from day one. A team dedicated to franchise recruitment will be able to guide you through the initial stages of your research process and provide you with all the information you need to become an Anytime Fitness franchisee.

Once you’ve made the decision to join the franchise network, you’ll get assistance from the Club Openings Manager who will help you open your club from start to finish. You’ll also be able to gain advise and help with the club opening and with all aspects related to the property on which the club is located including lease negotiations and more.

When you’re up and running, you can also rely on extensive marketing support from a leading marketing team. This team will be there for you with aspects ranging from pre-sales, operations, product concepts and social media to help you boost your clientele and retain them.

But that’s not all. The Franchise Performance Coach will be able to help you with the full spectrum of your operations including staff, members, contracts, suppliers and more.

As the cherry on the cake, there is also continuous learning and development through a dedicated eLearning & development platform that will help you and your teams. Some of the courses you’ll cover include Health & Safety, Sales Training, Accounting, Marketing, etc.
