Anytime Fitness Australia Celebrates 6th Birthday with 350th Club Opening! Anytime Fitness, Australia’s number one health club, celebrated both its 6th birthday and 350th club opening last month! With over 2500 clubs and 2 million members’ worldwide, since Anytime Fitness launched into Australia in 2008 it has become the quickest growing segment of the world’s fastest growing fitness chain. This growth has spanned across the whole of Australia nationally, starting from humble beginnings with the first club in the small country town of Gunnedah, NSW, to the 350th club in Alice Springs, NT. The Alice Springs club belongs to franchisee Jarrad Boffo, and is his 11th Anytime Fitness club in three years, with another 5 planned to open before the end of 2014! A real estate agent by profession Jarrad Boffo teamed up with 3 great friends to become an Anytime Fitness Franchisee. Boffo comments “My business partners and I have always taken a keen interest in researching different business opportunities, our Director of operations Ben Germein had previously achieved great success in the fitness industry with a Personal training business, so the natural progression was to investigate the 24/7 model that was disrupting the mature fitness industry”. Like Jarrad, Anytime Fitness credits its fast expansion to its members, who are the company’s number one priority. Anytime Fitness Australia Chairman & Co-Founder Justin McDonell says, “Our members mean a lot to us. They’ll always be what matters most and are the secret to our success”. Anytime Fitness want their members to feel like they belong, and feel something better every time they visit their club. McDonell says, “When designing our clubs, we look at what our members will want in their club and the services they will expect. We have world class equipment, a functional
layout, online health resources, clean bathrooms, top of the range security systems, Fitness On Request group training facilities and knowledgeable staff who take an interest in all their members – and all of this available for members 24hours 7days a week.” The company plans to keep on growing with 400 clubs forecasted to open by December 2014.
