FRANCHISEFOCUS Anytime Fitness’ clubs and franchisees have
bounced back from lockdown admirably since indoor leisure facilities reopened in April and new franchisee enquiries have soared this year. The success of all these combined has seen Anytime Fitness UK win the bfa Business Resilience award – one of the most meaningful awards handed out this year. Anytime Fitness has made significant
investments in its Support Office team, adding two new directors and two new team members to its Franchise Development team. This has significantly enhanced the support and training available to new and existing franchisees as it sets it sights on surpassing the 200-club landmark in 2022. “It’s exciting to be able to look forward with so much positivity and see more ambitious entrepreneurs owning their own businesses,” says Ben Dixon, Chief Development Officer at Anytime Fitness UK. “Demand for health club memberships has been consistent throughout the year and we’re delighted to be positively impacting the health and wellbeing of even more local communities across the UK. It’s testament to the hard work and patience of our franchisees and development team in navigating the numerous supply chain challenges to have this strong pipeline of openings in place.”
“Anytime Fitness coach you at every stage of your franchise journey”
“Opening a club in Guernsey shows the versatility of our model and it’s great to be able to reach another new market, after opening our first club in Jersey earlier this year. These new clubs are being opened by a combination of brand-new franchisees and existing club owners in our network adding to their portfolio and scaling their investment with us. Things are very much on the up again and ahead of what is traditionally our ‘golden quarter’ between January and March, we’re excited to be able to support more people across the UK with improving their health goals.”
Non-stop support From the moment you sign your franchise agreement, you have immediate access to over 30 industry experts and Anytime Fitness’ market- leading partners. This includes leading banking partners, including HSBC, Barclays, Natwest and Lloyd’s Bank, who can provide additional funding of up to 75% of your total turn-key costs. Minimum personal investment starts from £112,000.
Anytime Fitness’ expert team will coach you
at every stage of your franchise journey, initially working with the new openings and development team to help you find your perfect site, negotiating competitive financial rates and commercial terms on your behalf. A dedicated Presales Manager will oversee the all-important presale stage, working with you to ensure you open with as many members as possible. Many of our new clubs open their doors at operational break-even point which is a huge success due to the model of selling memberships prior to opening. After successfully opening your doors, you will be assigned a dedicated Franchise Performance Coach (FPC), who have all operated health clubs at a senior level. Their ongoing coaching helps you to run successful, profitable health clubs and maximise all revenue opportunities available to them. Franchising opportunities with Anytime Fitness
are available across the UK and Ireland. Due to a recent change in legislation, there are now greater opportunities to open an Anytime Fitness club on the high street. The amendment to the Uses Classes Order means there are fewer planning obstacles when moving into previous retail units and allowing a quicker turnaround for facilities in sought-after, high footfall locations.
