Don’t just make a living, make a difference

You don’t need fitness industry experience to own an Anytime Fitness club, what’s more important is a passion for improving the health of the nation and making a difference to people’s lives.

Minimum personal investment starts from £170,000, with additional funding of up to 70% of your total turn-key costs available from leading banking partners, including Barclays, Natwest and Lloyd’s Bank.

With joint venture opportunities available, you could be closer than you think to owning your own Anytime Fitness club.

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.
