A DAY IN THE LIFE Fit for life...
A typical day for Anytime Fitness Wickford fra nchisee Cihan Gokensel

face-to-face while I’m there. These conversations are so valuable, not just for reviewing how we’re tracking against our sales and membership targets, but also to make sure we’re aligned on brand updates and new marketing initiatives. Anytime Fitness often rolls out new tools and resources, and I like to make sure we’re implementing them effectively and staying ahead of the curve. One of my favourite parts of being in

Whether I’m on the gym fl oor, supporting my team, or looking for new opportunities, I love the variety and the impact I can make each day.
