2Red Flags Identified

Top Findings

Item 19 — Financial Performance Representations Available

Anytime Fitness includes an Item 19 FPR with solid median gross revenue data. Median annual gross revenue for US clubs falls in the $350,000-$450,000 range. This gives prospective buyers real numbers to model against, a meaningful positive compared to many franchises that disclose nothing.

Item 8 — Required Vendor Relationships and Tech Fees

Franchisees must use Anytime Fitness-approved vendors for POS systems, door access technology and certain equipment. The proprietary ABC Fitness software and key fob system add ongoing technology costs not fully reflected in the royalty calculation. Budget an additional $400-$800/month in mandated tech fees on top of royalties.

Item 12 — Territory and Competitive Saturation

With 2,600+ US locations, market saturation is a real concern in many metros and suburban markets. Territory protection is a 1-mile radius in most agreements, meaning multiple locations within a single city. Prospective buyers should review whether their target market already has nearby units or is approaching saturation.

Fee Burden Estimate

Royalty$699/month (flat fee, not percentage)
Ad FundApproximately $600/month national + local requirements
Combined~$1,300/month flat (~3.1% of gross at $500K)
Est. Annual Fees~$15,600 in royalties + ~$7,200 in ad fees = $22,800
