Inside the Anytime Fitness Franchise with Tony Wind — 5,600+ Locations, Flat Fees & 24/7 Profits
On this episode of Franchise Business Radio, hosts Pam Currie and Shari Currie Skjoldager sit down with Tony Wind, Director of Franchise Development at Anytime Fitness, to unpack how the world’s largest gym franchise scaled to 5,600+ locations across 43 countries (all seven continents!). Discover how the 24/7 access model, advanced security, and lean staffing create operational efficiency—and why a flat royalty structure can widen EBITDA margins as you grow.
Tony breaks down revenue streams beyond memberships—personal training, in-club PT/chiropractic sublease, and infrared red-light therapy saunas—plus typical initial investment ($458K–$908K), common SBA funding, multi-unit paths, and data-driven equipment planning. He also shares why Anytime Fitness reports a low annualized failure rate and how robust real estate, build-out, and coaching support set new owners up for success, including semi-absentee operators.
If you’re exploring a gym franchise, 24/7 fitness franchise, or Anytime Fitness franchise ownership, this conversation is packed with practical insights to help you investigate before you invest.
