We’re concluding this list of 11 most popular gym franchises in America with Anytime Fitness. As it’s name suggests, Anytime Fitness offers 24/7 availability to their clients even during the unstaffed hours. This isn’t only the most popular fitness franchise in the country, but number 10 overall in aforementioned Entrepreneur’s list of 500 best franchises. This fact can be confirmed by 2,090 US franchise locations in 2016, as well as with 985 worldwide locations. The company-owned gyms are a vast minority, however, since they only amount to 28 locations. Usual initial investment fee stands within $62,900 and $417,900. Net worth requirement of $250,000 should suffice, while liquidity doesn’t have to be that high; only between $70,000 and $100,000.
