identify a good business opportunity. Russel Valler, franchisee of Anytime Fitness Colchester said: “I had been looking at a number of franchises but this seemed the one that presented me with the best chance of success and the most fun too! What attracted me to Anytime Fitness was the vibrant nature of the team involved along with the passion they had for the industry.”
“The Anytime Fitness model is flexible, so you can adapt to the changing trends and needs of each club”
Robin Drysdale owns three Anytime Fitness clubs in Bristol, one in Birmingham and plans for two more in the near future. “I love the concept of smaller local clubs for the community and the one thing I’ve learnt so far is that every club is completely different. It depends on the area, the
demographics etc. The Anytime Fitness model is flexible so you can adapt to the changing trends and needs of each club.” Robin and Russell are not the only ones who can see the benefits of an Anytime Fitness Franchise.
