Workout Anytime Goes Nationwide: Fitness Anytime, Anywhere

Making Fitness Accessible Nationwide

Most Americans feel happier when they stick to a regular workout routine, yet nearly 48% say busy schedules prevent them from exercising. Workout Anytime, one of the fastest-growing 24/7 fitness centers in the U.S., is tackling this challenge by offering over 190 locations nationwide. With plans to expand rapidly in the second half of 2025, the brand could soon open in cities — and even small towns — across the country. CEO Jerry Pugh points to the 60 million Americans living in rural areas as the brand’s sweet spot.

Strategic Growth and Leadership

Jerry Pugh, a former multi-unit franchisee who now co-owns the company with Skyline Global Partners and Peninsula Capital Partners, is leading the expansion. “We aim to double our locations from 200 to 400 over the next five years,” he said. “Further down the line, we could add as many as 1,000 by focusing strategically on small and mid-size markets.”

Franchise Success in Smaller Markets

Franchisees are already seeing strong results. Greyson Boone, 25, opened a Workout Anytime in Easley, South Carolina (population 22,921), to serve her community. “A lot of people are financially driven, but for me it’s about giving back,” Boone said. “I want the community to come in and feel like family.”

Supporting Franchisees

Workout Anytime equips franchisees with comprehensive support, including pre-negotiated real estate, site selection guidance, marketing, training, and proprietary technology. Startup costs range from $1,060,850 to $1,840,550 with a $45,000 franchise fee. The brand offers discounts for veterans and multi-unit operators. It seeks owners who can open multiple gyms, ideally five to twenty, though smaller deals are welcomed.

Looking Ahead

The U.S. fitness industry is projected to generate $45.7 billion in 2025, and Workout Anytime has already signed three multi-unit agreements and finalized eight leases this year. The brand continues to emphasize integrity, simplicity, and personalized training programs that help members reach their fitness goals.

“Our momentum is strong, our vision is clear, and our team is all-in,” Pugh said. “Whether you’re a member or an entrepreneur, there’s never been a better time to join Workout Anytime.” More information is available at workoutanytimefranchise.com.
