Anytime Fitness

Business overview

Anytime Fitness is the world’s largest 24-hour gym franchise, with over 4,700 clubs worldwide. It has a relatively low-cost setup: initial franchise fee $25,000–$42,500 and total investment from about $73,000 up to $694,000 for a club. Franchisees need a net worth around $350,000 and liquid capital of $160,000. Uniquely, Anytime Fitness uses a flat monthly royalty ($449–$699 per month) rather than a percentage of sales (this is roughly equivalent to ~7% of revenue). The marketing fee is also a flat $300–$600 per month. With its 24/7 access model, low staffing needs, and strong global brand, Anytime Fitness appeals to semi-absentee owners and has a broad member base.
