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 seven 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.

Anytime Fitness now has:

• More than a 1,000 clubs open
• More than 2,500 franchise territories sold
• Clubs open in 47 states, Canada and Australia and plans for expansion all over the globe!

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.
