Anytime Fitness becomes second largest UK private gym operator

Published: 01 June 2018

Anytime Fitness is now the second largest private gym operator in the UK, having opened 30 new sites in the past year.

According to the 2018 State of the UK Fitness Industry Report, Anytime Fitness now has over 140 clubs open in the UK and sits only behind PureGym in the standings of the largest operators by number of sites.

Stuart Broster, Anytime Fitness UK CEO, says: “The latest State of the Fitness Industry Report shows the impressive progress we’re making against our plan to become the largest fitness club operator in the UK.

"The franchise model and the strength of the brand is allowing us to grow significantly, and as well as successfully attracting new franchisees, we’re working hard to support our current network and encourage them to open more clubs with us. Over 60 per cent of our franchisees are now multi-club owners and are playing a key part in our growth.

"We’re making a number of changes within the business that will also assist our growth and I would like to thank our customers and franchisees for working with us to drive both present and future success."

Anytime Fitness is expected to reach 150 sites in the UK in the next few months and it opened its first site in Northern Ireland earlier this year.
