Anytime Fitness Franchise Opportunities - History

Chuck Runyon, Dave Mortenson and Jeff Klinger founded the Anytime Fitness chain in 2002, opening the first location in Cambridge, Minnesota. The ultra-convenient fitness concept grew rapidly, and by 2005 there were 77 locations across the United States and Canada. In the years that followed, Anytime Fitness expanded into Europe and Asia and was the first United States fitness chain to be granted a franchising license in China.

How Much Does An Anytime Fitness Franchise Cost?

It costs approximately $78,012 to $521,437 to open an Anytime Fitness franchise location, including an upfront franchise fee of $21,000 to $42,500. The Anytime Fitness royalty and ad fund model is different from most; rather than pay a royalty percentage of their gross sales, franchisees pay a flat $449 to $549 per month royalty and contribute a flat $300 per month to the franchisor's national advertising fund.

The franchise has nearly 5,000 globally operating locations, split approximately 60% U.S. and 40% international. Over 99 percent of Anytime Fitness centers are franchised.
