Anytime Fitness Named #1 Top Global Franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine
ANYTIME FITNESS NAMED #1 TOP GLOBAL FRANCHISE BY ENTREPRENEUR MAGAZINE Anytime Fitness, the world’s largest and fastest-growing co-ed fitness club chain, is ranked No. 1 on Entrepreneur magazine’s annual Top Global Franchise list. Averaging more than 300 new gyms a year for each of the past 8 years, Anytime Fitness will soon open its 3,000th franchised unit – in fewer years (13) than it took other franchising legends like McDonald’s, Subway, 7-Eleven and Pizza Hut to reach that same milestone. To compile the Top Global Franchises ranking, Entrepreneur started with each company's 2015 Franchise 500® score – based on objective, quantifiable criteria including system size, growth and financial strength and stability – then adjusted to give extra weight to international size and growth. Brother and sister team Justin and Jacinta McDonell launched the highly successful US franchise into Australia in 2008, and it has since become the quickest growing segment of the world’s fastest growing fitness chain. Anytime Fitness Australia has the largest group of clubs open outside of the USA, and is the biggest health club chain in Australia, starting from humble beginnings with the first club in the small country town of Gunnedah, NSW, to the 400th club in Aspley, Queensland. They are currently operating in 411 locations nationally with over 500 territories sold to date. Anytime Fitness credits its fast expansion to its members, who are the company’s number one priority. Justin McDonell says, “Our members mean a lot to us. They’ll always be what matters most and are the secret to our success”.

MASTER, REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISING Global Franchise www.globalfranchisemagazine.com ASIA FITNESS SPECIAL FOCUS: FITNESS: FITNESS WHAT WORKS AND WHO’S WORKING OUT FRANCHISES IN ASIA RIGHT NOW IN SOUTH EAST ASIA South East Asia Report Anyone involved in global franchising will tell you that a franchise that has proven successful in Maryland won’t necessarily succeed in Malaysia. Food franchisors found out early that tastes can vary widely and while a concept itself may be welcomed at an overseas destination, some changes are often necessary to the menu if the brand is to have a long-tern future in the area. You may reason that fitness centers will be exempt from this rule. What can be so different about body toning? It’s true that the adjustments in this field may not be as radical as those you may make in other sectors, but as ever be aware of beware cultural difference. Where people may prefer to exercise on their own back home, there are parts of Asia where the group is the important unit. An increasing number of Western franchises are successfully tailoring their concepts to ASIA local demand and the future of franchising fitness in the East looks strong indeed.
