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.

Anytime Fitness To Surpass 200 UK Clubs Landmark in 2022 As Impressive Growth Continues

January 19, 2022

Anytime Fitness is looking forward to a prosperous 2022 and is poised to reach the impressive landmark of opening its 200^th club across the UK and Ireland.

With a flurry of new openings set for 2022, Anytime Fitness UK & Ireland is once again strengthening its Support Office team. The recruitment aims to enhance the coaching and guidance provided to new franchisees in finding their perfect club location and successfully opening a new club, as well as strengthening the support structure for franchisees beyond their opening. Upcoming new hires include the addition of a Director of Marketing, a further Franchise Performance Coach and multiple new members of the finance team.

Despite a disrupted 2021 which saw its clubs closed for the first three-and-a-half months of the year, the Anytime Fitness network showed remarkable resilience, with a significant amount of its clubs exceeding their pre-COVID revenue. It managed to open close to 20 new clubs throughout the year, including in two brand-new territories; Jersey and Guernsey, all while laying the foundations for future growth with the recruitment of two new directors and further additions to its Support Office team.

“2022 is set to be another big year for Anytime Fitness UK as we continue to embark on an exciting period of growth,” said Ben Dixon, Chief Development Officer at Anytime Fitness UK.

“The fitness industry is continuing to recover admirably and reaching the 200-club landmark this year is testament to the resilience of our franchisees and the appetite of ambitious entrepreneurs who see the potential in opening their own health club.

“The performance of our sector has significantly increased our access to sought-after property locations. Landlords and agents see our industry as a key footfall driver and the sustained demand for health club memberships meant that last year, we had a 210% increase in the amount of property locations that reached the legal stages. With that figure expected to rise again this year, this means we’re able to secure new club locations faster and open clubs in a shorter timeframe than ever for new franchisees.”

As well as an investment in its Support Office structure, Anytime Fitness has rebranded and significantly updated the learning and development offering to its network as Anytime Academy. The move ensures that as well as providing an omni-channel experience to support its members, its team members receive the same benefits.

The platform provides new franchisees with a comprehensive onboarding and education process, as well as thousands of training courses for club staff. As well as advancing its franchisees’ learning potentials, Anytime Academy provides all club staff with flexible learning opportunities to encourage continued self-development.
