operator in the UK, Anytime Fitness has opened 100 clubs in the last three years. It boasts an eclectic network of franchisees, ranging from experienced fi tness industry professionals to those with no experience in the sector, showcasing the strength of the brand and the support available. Paignton’s Emma and Simon Wright
are a case in point; the club is the couple’s fi rst, yet they already have two more in the pipeline. Working with the central Anytime Fitness support offi ce, a successful presale saw Anytime Fitness Paignton recruit close to 500 members by the time it opened its doors. Emma and Simon should be on target to recoup their initial investment. CEO Stuart Broster comments: “Reaching 150 clubs in the UK is a fantastic achievement and we’re delighted to be giving so many ambitious entrepreneurs the platform to run a successful business. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I want Anytime Fitness to become the biggest health-club operator in the UK and we’ve got a great support offi ce team and network of franchisees to achieve this.

investment. The Anytime Fitness banking partners were instrumental in the decision, with NatWest recommending this positive move to provide additional support to the growing franchisee network. Mark Scott, franchise development manager at NatWest, says: “NatWest has been working with Anytime Fitness and fi nancing their franchisees since they began trading the UK. We recently recommended an increased term option on the franchise agreement, which is great news for the franchisees and the bank. The reduced monthly payments, compared to a fi ve- year agreement, will enable franchisees to generate more cash that can be used for future expansion plans.” How can you become part of the
Anytime Fitness family? Opening a club with Anytime Fitness requires a minimum
