🏋️ Build a Healthier Future with an Anytime Fitness Franchise

A Global Fitness Giant with Local Impact

Founded in the USA in 2002, Anytime Fitness franchise has rapidly grown into a global fitness brand serving over four million members. In the UK, the franchise launched in 2010 and has since expanded to more than 190 clubs nationwide. Thanks to its 24/7 access, premium facilities, and personalised customer service, Anytime Fitness franchise has become the go-to choice for health-conscious communities across the country.

The brand’s mission is simple: to help people lead healthier lives, while giving franchisees the tools and support to build successful, sustainable businesses.

Why Choose Anytime Fitness franchise?

Anytime Fitness franchise is more than just a gym franchise—it’s a proven investment model offering:

• A reliable monthly income from direct debit memberships
• A fixed franchise fee, unaffected by revenue or member numbers
• A lean staffing structure to maximise profit margins
• Access to industry-leading partnerships with banks, property experts, and suppliers
• Opportunities to scale with multi-site ownership—60% of franchisees own more than one club

With joint venture options and up to 70% funding available through major banks such as Barclays, Lloyds and NatWest, your dream of owning a health club could be closer than you think.

The UK fitness sector continues to grow, with support from organisations like ukactive, which champions physical activity and innovation in gyms nationwide.

Full-Service Support from Day One

The Anytime Fitness franchise support system is among the most comprehensive in the industry. From your very first enquiry, you’ll be guided by a team of over 30 dedicated experts across property, construction, marketing, and operations.

Support includes:

• Expert site selection and lease negotiation
• Presales coaching to maximise membership numbers before launch
• In-depth training in all aspects of club operation
• A dedicated Franchise Performance Coach (FPC) to guide your growth
• Continuous operational, marketing and business development support

You don’t need a background in fitness to succeed—just a passion for making a difference and a commitment to learning and leading.

Flexible Business Ownership with a Positive Impact

Each club is designed with Anytime Fitness’s signature open-plan layout, offering a premium experience with state-of-the-art equipment and digital fitness solutions. Clubs are open 24/7, 365 days a year, giving members the ultimate convenience—and you, as the owner, predictable recurring income.

Franchisees have the flexibility to run the club themselves or hire a Club Manager to oversee day-to-day operations. Either way, the business model is built for work-life balance and long-term financial reward.

High Street Opportunities and a Growing Market

Recent planning law changes have opened the door to more high street locations by reducing the barriers for converting retail spaces into fitness clubs. This means faster setup and greater visibility in high-footfall areas.

With the UK fitness industry continuing to grow—and demand for accessible, flexible fitness options stronger than ever—Anytime Fitness franchise is perfectly positioned for long-term success.
