Anytime Fitness opens three more locations as part of UK expansion

The gym brand has opened its doors in Tottenham Hale, Kingston, and Abbey Wood via franchise agreements

The new London locations will join Anytime Fitness’ Wimbledon and Brixton branches which opened in the first two months of 2024.

The gyms in Tottenham Hale and Abbey Wood have opened in retail units located in new build residential areas, Heart of Hale and Thamesmead, with the brand hoping to capture at-home footfall. Meanwhile, the Kingston gym opened its doors in a refurbished former restaurant.

All three gyms are operated by new franchisees, with Anytime Fitness stating it has seen an increase in new franchisee enquiries since the start of the year.

Daniel Penn, head of network development at Anytime Fitness UK said: “Despite the challenging economic climate we’re operating in, we’re proud to consistently be opening new Anytime Fitness gyms.

“The franchise sector is proving to be incredibly resilient and it’s exciting to be able to welcome these new franchisees into our network and see them open their first locations.

“The success of these new openings shows that gyms continue to be a welcome addition to local communities,” Dan added. “It’s been great to see Anytime Fitness being considered as a strong brand option by developers to occupy these new build units.”

The opening of the location in Kingston displayed the versatility of Anytime Fitness’ model, with Anytime Fitness Kingston being comprehensively refurbished from a closed down chain restaurant in the town.
