Partner with the Fastest Growing Fitness Franchise in the World

What do people really want from a health club? That's the key question Anytime Fitness co-founders Jeff Klinger and Chuck Runyon asked themselves six years ago. The answer was relatively simple. When you boil it all down, people want a convenient and affordable club with quality exercise equipment and a friendly atmosphere.

Thus was born the Anytime Fitness franchise - an alternative to over-sized and over-priced health clubs, providing a viable business model for independent franchisees and affordable fitness options for hundreds of thousands of members nationwide. The first Anytime Fitness club opened its doors in Cambridge, MN in 2002.

The world's largest 24-hour, co-ed fitness franchise

Anytime Fitness is not only the largest, but also the fastest-growing fitness franchise in the world. Nearly doubling in size from 308 to 593 clubs in 2007, and currently opening clubs at a rate of more than one a day, Anytime Fitness expects to celebrate the opening of its 1,000th club shortly before the end of 2008.  It has been listed in four of Entrepreneur's franchise rankings - Top 500 Franchises, Fastest Growing Franchises, Low Cost Franchises and Top Global Franchises.

If you are looking for a solid, proven franchise opportunity in a booming industry, you may have found it with Anytime Fitness. Ranked as one of the top low investment franchise options, club owners tend to experience a return on their investment at a faster pace than other businesses. There is great flexibility in our business model. From single club and multi-club franchisees, to international master franchisees, our unique opportunity includes varying levels of ownership and investment. Plus, we offer a great conversion model for existing club owners that wish to become a part of our industry-leading brand.

The secret to our growth

At Anytime Fitness, we understand how important convenience is to our members. People want to exercise on their own terms, whenever their busy schedules allow, close to their homes or work places, and when they travel. That's why Anytime Fitness clubs are open 24/7, allowing members to work out any time of the day or night, even when our clubs are not staffed. It's also the rationale behind our membership reciprocity program, which is known as Anywhere Club Access. With this benefit, members join one Anytime Fitness club and can use any other club, in 45 different states and Canada, at no extra charge. What could be more convenient than that?

Other features which separate Anytime Fitness from the rest of the pack include 24-hour tanning facilities (at most locations) and our integrated use of access software, security and surveillance systems, which allow owners to operate safe and secure clubs with greatly reduced staffing needs.
