Anytime, anywhere

Franchising opportunities with Anytime Fitness are available across the UK and Ireland.

Due to a recent change in legislation, there are now greater opportunities to open an Anytime Fitness club on the high street. The amendment to the Uses Classes Order means there are fewer planning obstacles when moving into previous retail units and allowing a quicker turnaround for facilities in sought-after, high footfall locations.

From the moment you sign your franchise agreement, you will have immediate access to over 30 industry experts and Anytime Fitness’ market-leading partners.

Our expert team will coach you at every stage of your franchise journey, initially working with our new openings and development team to help you find your perfect site, negotiating competitive financial rates and commercial terms on your behalf.

A dedicated Presales Manager will oversee the all-important presale stage, working with you to ensure you open with as many members as possible. After successfully opening your doors, you will be assigned a dedicated Franchise Performance Coach (FPC), who have all operated health clubs at a senior level. Their ongoing coaching helps you to run successful, profitable health clubs and maximise all revenue opportunities available to them.

Anytime Fitness UK reaches membership milestone with record-breaking start to 2024

May 14, 2024

Anytime Fitness UK has reached the milestone of 200,000 members and a record 1 million club visits per month in the first quarter of 2024.

The fitness franchise hit 200,000 members and 1 million club visits per month in Q1
Network revenue and member yield both increased in Q1 2024 vs. Q1 2023
Anytime Fitness Brixton broke the international record for number of members before opening

The brand’s expanding network of clubs and members contributed to an 8.3% increase in revenue in Q1 compared to the same period in 2023; this was also supported by a 4% increase in average member yield.

As the UK’s largest fitness franchise, Anytime Fitness has 185 clubs in operation and is on target to sell 25 new franchise licences in 2024.

The brand’s franchise development efforts have been strengthened by several new initiatives, including investment into enhancing its data-driven approach to the identification of new ‘hot’ locations for potential clubs.

The growth is also aligned to the roll-out of the brand’s new club design, which has seen a full refresh of the interior specification and layout.

The new model, which is being implemented in all new openings and transitioned to across the existing network, puts community and coaching at the heart of each club, with a large functional training space as one of the key features.

The UK remains the biggest European market for the global brand, with 50% of Europe’s total franchise sales in Q1 attributed to the UK.

February’s opening of Anytime Fitness Brixton also broke the international pre-sales record, with the club opening with more members than any other previous Anytime Fitness facility outside of the US.

“2024 has been our strongest start to the year for some time, with key metrics from both the consumer and franchising sides of the business showing real growth,” said Andy Thompson, Chairman of Anytime Fitness UK.

“We’ve been working hard to get an even stronger understanding of our members and how we engage them, investing in our tech infrastructure and systems, as well as making sure we’ve got the right people in place to support the business moving forwards – these are all critical factors that have contributed to a stronger performance across the network.

“Our sector isn’t without its challenges, but we’re receiving positive levels of interest in franchising and the projected growth makes for an exciting year ahead.”

Anytime Fitness UK is part of a global franchise network of over 5,000 clubs worldwide and across nearly 40 countries. The brand was named Global Franchise Grand Champion and Best Fitness Franchise at the 2024 Global Franchise Awards.
