F
or the fi rst time ever, over 14 per cent of the UK’s 64 million population have a gym membership. The market value is now estimated at £4.4billion,
a four per cent increase in the last 12 months alone. Fitness and technology expert, Bryan O’Rourke, believes the global fi tness market will grow 300 per cent in the next decade. Now really is the time to invest in this exciting sector! It’s fi gures like these that are driving the UK and global growth of Anytime Fitness, voted the number one global franchise opportunity for the second year running by Entrepreneur Franchise 500. The UK opened its fi rst club just over fi ve years ago and now has over 100 clubs trading. With over 350 territories sold, they will very soon be a high street brand associated with convenience, community and club culture. Anytime Fitness franchisees are seeing some amazing results, as they typically reach cash break-even point by month six of opening, and have taken back their initial investment of £110,000 within 18 months. More recently, based on growing brand awareness, consumer interest in getting healthy and, with the support from the 35-strong UK support team, they have seen clubs that break even before they even open their doors. It’s this kind of success that is seeing franchisees with no industry experience
opening multiple clubs, with over 54 per cent of territories sold now being part of a group. These kinds of stories attract the serial franchisee or entrepreneur, and, over the last six months, the business has seen franchisees from other premium brands join the Anytime Fitness family keen to help members get to a healthier place.
