Item 19
What Anytime Fitness franchisees actually report earning
Median of All (1,656 Centers)
$394,973
Anytime Fitness' 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the 12 month period ended February 28, 2025 (the “Relevant Time Period”). Basis: Franchised Anytime Fitness centers operating with Coaching Suite; franchised Anytime Fitness centers using SmartCoaching; and company-owned Anytime Fitness centers.
Sample size: 1,656 outlets. The FDD also reports average of all (1,656 centers) of $442,686. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest outlets; the median is the middle outlet.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- Two centers that were severely damaged and temporarily closed for rebuilding during the Relevant Time Period were excluded from Section I.
- Twenty-nine centers that permanently closed during the Relevant Time Period were excluded from Section I.
- The company-owned center sold to a franchisee in 2024 was excluded from Section III.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Anytime Fitness outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
