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.

Non-stop support

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.

Choosing which franchise model to invest in for your future is one of the biggest decisions you will make, so here are just a few reasons why the Anytime Fitness family keeps growing:

Reliable, monthly direct debit income

Anytime Fitness Opens Trio of New Locations As Franchise Interest Soars

October 16, 2023

Leading gym provider Anytime Fitness has enjoyed a flurry of new openings in recent weeks, with three new locations opening their doors in Birkenhead, Leigh-on-Sea and Upminster.

The openings showcase the leisure industry’s potential to breathe new life into the high street, with Upminster and Leigh-on-Sea reinvigorating retail units left unoccupied by M&Co and a Post Office respectively.

All three gyms are operated by new franchisees, demonstrating the sustained interest in the franchise sector and the ambitions of entrepreneurs to run their own fitness facilities.

With a healthy pipeline of openings set for the rest of the year, the openings come at a time where Anytime Fitness has seen new franchisee enquiries rise by over 60% so far in 2023, compared to the same period last year.

“Despite the challenging economic climate we’re operating in, we’re proud to consistently be opening new Anytime Fitness gyms,” said Daniel Penn, Head of Network Development at Anytime Fitness UK. “The franchise sector is proving to be incredibly resilient and it’s exciting to be able to welcome these new franchisees into our network and see them open their first locations.”

The three gyms have all made a strong start to trading, opening their doors with a significant amount of members and already enjoying healthy revenue figures.

“The success of these new openings shows that gyms continue to be a welcome addition to local communities,” Dan added. “It’s been sad to see the demise of the high street in recent years and we want to play our part in occupying these empty units and giving people a reason to visit them again.”
The opening of the location in Birkenhead displayed the versatility of Anytime Fitness’ model, with Anytime Fitness Birkenhead being rebranded and comprehensively refurbished from an existing gym in the town.
