ANYTIME FITNESS
bfa Associate Member
24/7 Fitness Clubs with state-of-the-art equipment and members have access to any other club
Anytime Fitness is aimed at customers looking for convenience and affordability yet wanting good equipment and an excellent environment. The 24 hour, co-ed fitness franchise means members can exercise even when the club is not staffed. They also offer the exclusive benefit of Anywhere Club Access, which allows members to use all Anytime Fitness centres worldwide with one standard membership. Many gyms also offer certified personal training as conveniences for their members.
Each centre uses proprietary access software, security, and surveillance technology. The integration of these systems allows owners to operate safe and secure clubs with greatly reduced staffing needs. The exclusive access system allows a club to be open on a 24 hour basis. The system, which includes remote monitoring of a closed circuit television system and personal safety devices, allows members to feel safe and secure, even when a club is not staffed. In addition, the member check-in software is fully integrated with the onsite security systems.
There is also a community aspect to the centres - helping people to mix and helping people become healthier.
Since the franchise founding in 2002 in the USA and UK expansion in 2010, Anytime Fitness has gown and now has over 2000 centres worldwide. In the UK, the market continues to expand. They have won an number of accolades including Entrepreneur Magazine's Top 500 Franchises: Anytime Fitness —1st.

BRITISH FRANCHISE ASSOCIATION
In 1977, the major franchise companies in the UK decided to set up their own association. The British Franchise Association (bfa), was formed to act in the interests of the industry as a whole in assessing and accrediting franchising companies as those which meet its criteria for the structure of the franchise business, the terms of the contract between franchisor and franchisee, the testing of the system and its success as a franchise.
On this site, we only feature franchisors who are either:
Full Members of the bfa
Full Members are established franchised businesses with a proven trading and franchising record. They are prepared to have their reputation examined by the bfa, and have an established network of franchisees.
or
Associate Members of the bfa
Associate Members have proven their ability to launch and support at least one franchised outlet for 12 months and are now in the business of building their network. There will be few franchisees whose experience you can research and a short period of time over which the business has been tested.
