Workout Anytime®
What Is Workout Anytime?
Workout Anytime is a franchise in the Health & Wellness category for the development and operation of Workout Anytime® Clubs (health clubs). The operational model is brick-and-mortar: franchisees operate a physical club location, typically in highly visible, high-traffic areas, with prescribed exterior and interior design and 24-hour access to the general public. It serves individual consumers (B2C) and the core service bundle is operating the Workout Anytime® Club and offering the products and services designated by the franchisor under the Franchise Agreement and Operations Manual.
Workout Anytime Franchise: Pros and Cons
The franchisor provides extensive operator preparation with 137 hours of initial training and an uncommon franchisee Right of First Refusal (only ~5.5% of peers offer this), but prospective owners face materially higher startup costs, estimated at $1,060,850–$1,840,550, than most Health & Wellness concepts.
Pros
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
Part 1 (The Facts): A 2017 franchisee dispute concerned whether personal‑training revenue counted in Gross Revenue for royalty purposes and involved threatened termination; parties consented to a franchise transfer and the case was mutually dismissed with prejudice. Part 2 (The Advice): Review Gross Revenue definitions, royalty accounting methods, termination and transfer clauses, dispute-resolution terms, and request historical royalty reconciliations.
Territory Protection
Grants a protected operating area where the franchisor will not place other physical units. The franchisor retains rights to sell via e-commerce/retail, operate alternative venues and trademarks, and acquire/convert units; protection is contingent on meeting performance quotas, and the franchisee holds a right of first refusal and may relocate site-specific operations.
Training & Support
The brand provides a comprehensive 137-hour training curriculum designed to prepare two initial franchisee designees for launch and initial operations. The program includes on-site launch support for operational readiness; associated on-site support fees and travel and lodging expenses are the responsibility of the franchisee.
Unit Growth Analysis
Growth is positive but decelerating: total units rose from 167 in 2022 to 190 in 2025, with annual additions of +12 (7.2%) in 2023, +6 (3.4%) in 2024 and +5 (2.7%) in 2025. For investors this signals a healthy franchise still adding locations but with waning momentum—the growth rate has fallen roughly 4.5 percentage points since 2023—suggesting market maturation or tighter franchisee recruitment and worth monitoring the development pipeline and unit-level economics.
