Anytime Fitness Will Soon Open Its 2,000th Club

November 27, 2012

COLUMBIA, SC – November 27, 2012 – In ten short years, Anytime Fitness (www.anytimefitness.com) has quickly become the largest and fastest-growing co-ed fitness club chain on the planet—with no signs of slowing down.

Featuring a unique combination of 24-hour access, online support, and personalized fitness plans, nearly 2,000 Anytime Fitness clubs now serve more than 2,000,000 members worldwide.

In anticipation of the opening of the franchise’s 2,000th club—expected to occur in early December—Anytime Fitness club owner Radley West is making a special offer to new members of the gym located at 2726 North Lake Drive, Columbia SC 29212.

“We know that money can be tight during the holidays,” said West“So, if you join now, you can use our club absolutely free for the rest of the year.  No payments until January 1st.  It’s a great way to get in shape, or at least avoid gaining weight, at a time of year when many of us tend to over-indulge at the dinner table.”

Anytime Fitness recognized that consumers would respond to extremely convenient and affordable clubs and developed a business model to meet this demand,” said Joe Moore, President and CEO of the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA).  “Their ten-year growth rate is truly remarkable.
