About the Business
Anytime Fitness in Kent was established in April 2014. With hard work and dedication, the owner has built an excellent reputation for the club within the area. This business boasts a turnover in excess of £300,000 and a membership base of over 800 people. With a capacity for 1200 members, there is potential to grow this business further.
The club is fitted out to a very high standard and the equipment is excellently maintained. Situated on a high street location with heavy footfall there is an excellent pool of potential customers. This club consists of a cardio area, free weights section, resistance training area and a class studio that currently runs 50 classes a week and hosts a 24-hour class kiosk.
The current franchisee employs a team of staff to run the business on a day to day basis. The franchisee works closely with the staff, regularly visiting the premises to ensure the gym is being run correctly. The main role as an Anytime Fitness franchisee is to establish and manage a team that runs the business while the franchisee oversees the process and keeps the business moving forward.
The UK Health and Fitness sector had an estimated revenue of £3.1bn in 2017. The sector has seen huge growth in recent years and this looks set to continue. Anytime Fitness is widely recognised as the fastest growing fitness club franchise in the world. This business presents an excellent opportunity to take advantage of this booming market.
On the market due to increased family commitments, this business is an excellent opportunity for an incoming franchisee, to build on the already established reputation and customer base. By increasing marketing activity and implementing potential changes this business could see a rapid increase in memberships.

Anytime Fitness was awarded second place in the Entrepreneur magazine Franchise 500 list and number one in the Fitness category for the fourth year in a row. It is a business that is not standing still.
Anytime Fitness has a blend of factors that make it unique. It has convenience and affordability combined with high-quality equipment in a great environment. Centres are situated close to the members, who can exercise at any time, day or night. Many Centres also offer personal trainers. There is also Anywhere Club Access which allows members access to all Anytime Fitness Centres worldwide.
The most distinctive element of an Anytime Fitness Centre is the use of proprietary access software, security and surveillance technology. The integration of these systems allows owners to operate safe and secure Centres with greatly reduced staffing. This system allows Centres to be open 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. It includes remote monitoring from a closed circuit television system to allow members to feel safe and secure.
