'I was first a member of the club in Cookeville and fell in love with the concept and the brand and knew immediately I wanted to try to open up one of these clubs,' Pugh said. Pugh and EJ Williams, a former Crossville police officer, opened their first Workout Anytime gym in Cookeville, Tennessee, in 2017 and have since grown their business to include 21 clubs in six states. 'This is located where people live and where more housing is being added, so we hope with the expanded facilities and services at this new location, we will attract more members,' Jerry Pugh, one of the co-owners of the new 12,000-square-foot gym, said during a grand opening Monday.

This includes the franchise’s first international location in Calgary, Canada. “We’re looking for area developers as well.”Īccording to Strickland, Workout Anytime is already reaching towards its goal of 100 locations by the end of 2014, with around 20 locations currently in the pipeline. “We’re actually looking for franchisee owners across the country,” said Trotter. “It’s a real testament to our model,” said Trotter.īased in Atlanta, where many of its clubs are located, Workout Anytime is exploring other markets nationwide, including Indiana, Alabama, Florida and more specifically, Cincinnati and Chicago. “What stands out about Workout Anytime is what we offer, for the money we charge the consumer,” said Strickland.Īccording to Trotter, it’s worthy noting that 55 percent of the franchise’s owners are multiple club operators.

For $15.00 per month, members gain access to cardio and strength equipment, locker rooms, and some locations boast tanning and HydroMassage (for an extra fee). Similar to other small box franchises, Workout Anytime clubs range between 4,800 and 6,000 square feet, and boast a minimal amount of amenities. “It’s been successful beyond our wildest dreams,” said Strickland. The co-founders began franchising in 2006, and brought on Randy Trotter as VP of development, to help facilitate growth. Workout Anytime was founded by Strickland and co-founder John Quattrocchi in 1999 as a single location. “Getting to 50 took a lot longer than we expect reaching 100 locations will take.” “It’s been somewhat of a journey since we began franchising our concept, but it’s really taken off in the past two years,” said Strickland. For Steve Strickland, the co-founder of Workout Anytime, the milestone is just the beginning, estimating that the franchise will reach 100 locations by the end of 2014. Workout Anytime, a small box, 24/7 franchise, opened its 50 th location this week in Milton, Ga.
