About Anytime Fitness
As the UK’s largest fitness franchise, Anytime Fitness provides its members with convenient gym locations and opening hours to suit all lifestyles at an affordable price. The business prides itself on supporting and coaching its members, with its class-leading customer service setting it apart from its competitors and attracting a broad demographic of fitness enthusiasts.
Gym membership gives you access to group fitness classes, face-to-face and smartphone-based personal training and a supporting and welcoming training environment for all ages and abilities.
Anytime Fitness has unveiled a new interior design for its clubs, as well as a new market positioning, shifting its business model from convenience to coaching. This is evident in the new design, which sees clubs split into various training zones with an open-plan layout, providing a welcoming and contemporary environment for its members.
In line with the brand’s evolved look and feel, the design changes are in response to the soaring popularity of functional training, a type of training that increases flexibility, coordination, balance and posture using a range of equipment associated with daily activities.
Make Anytime Fitness Your Next Step to Financial Freedom
Due to our unrivalled coaching culture, convenient locations, 24/7 access, and desire to support everyone to lead a healthier lifestyle, your club will become the centre of the community and the tool to change people’s lives.
We have worked hard to be able to provide you with a simple proven business model which is easy to follow and great to scale up. Our model is ever-evolving and in the past year, we have unveiled a brand new open-plan club design to stand out from the competition as well as launching a new online member platform.
Once you decide to open your first Anytime Fitness Club, you become part of the Anytime Fitness franchise success. Franchisees benefit from a range of expert partners, including CBRE, who will help you to find the perfect location and negotiate and advise on all property matters. All franchisees are appointed a dedicated New Openings Manager to create business, marketing and sales plans, and be on hand every step of the way to help you make a flying start to creating your successful business.
