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 137 hours of initial training-well above typical for Health & Wellness brands-giving new operators strong preparation, but startup costs are very high, with minimum total investment of about $1,060,850 and up to $1,840,550, so your upfront capital and financing needs will outpace most peers.
Pros
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
Workout Anytime. Part 1 (Facts): A franchisee sued over inclusion of personal-training income in Gross Revenue for royalties; Workout Anytime counterclaimed for unpaid royalties and trademark claims. Parties consented to a transfer and mutually dismissed the case in 2018 without admitting liability. Part 2 (Advice): Review Gross Revenue definition, audit rights, transfer/termination and dispute-resolution clauses.
Territory Protection
Workout Anytime grants a protected, non-exclusive territory (shown on a map) with a right of first refusal within the site-selection area, while reserving development and licensing rights nearby and under other marks. Territory rights are contingent on meeting performance quotas and the franchisor retains e-commerce/alternative-channel sales.
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.
Franchisee Stability
Workout Anytime earns an Excellent Stability Score. Three-year turnover of 2.26% is well below the typical Health & Wellness franchise (around 7%), placing the system well under most industry peers. Out of 12 total exits, terminations dominated with 8, alongside no non-renewals, no franchisor buybacks, and 4 ceased operations.
The dominance of terminations points to franchisor-initiated exits, suggesting either operators struggled with the model or the franchisor enforces standards aggressively. Prospective buyers should ask how the franchisor supports new operators, how common corrective actions are, and for examples where locations recovered after a termination. Also review the geographies where closures occurred to judge whether location economics or local competition drove those ceased units. Talk to current franchisees about onboarding, ongoing support, and time-to-profitability. For prospective franchisees, this is among the strongest retention profiles in franchising.
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.
