The majority of your revenue will come from membership sales. We will recommend a monthly dues program with a one-time enrollment fee. Each member has the option to pay in full or pay dues each month via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). An EFT payment can be made using a credit card, checking account, or savings account. Your membership rates may vary based on area demographics and the offerings at your facility. We can help you set your pricing structure. Depending on your time and personal objectives for your club, we can help you set up a variety of revenue centers. Certified personal training, tanning, and vending are some of the more effective revenue centers your club can offer.

With Anytime Fitness, the training never stops. Initially, we have a mandatory, two-week training course at our corporate office in Minnesota.

Master franchisees must have the financial capability to establish and build a new business in their region, something which can require a significant amount of time, money, and human resources. They must also have the experience and acumen to enable them to build a successful business, supporting potentially hundreds of Anytime Fitness franchisees, and thousands of members. Being an Anytime Fitness master franchisee can be more difficult and time-consuming than operating individual clubs, but the long-term rewards can be substantial.
A master franchisee purchases the exclusive rights to sub-franchise the Anytime Fitness concept within their international geographic region. The master franchisee replicates the business strategy of Anytime Fitness in their geographic region, selling the proven Anytime Fitness concept to individual franchisees within that region, which could be a city, state, territory, country, or group of countries. Master franchisees receive extensive initial and on-going support from our talented headquarters team, allowing them to focus on promoting and selling franchises within their market.
Obviously other fitness clubs, community centers, hospital wellness facilities, and YMCAs are direct competitors. We can help you evaluate your competition and explore the possibilities of adding an Anytime Fitness club within your market before you make any commitment.
