Anytime Fitness, Australia’s number one health club, has reached a major milestone with its 400th club opening in early May. With over 2700 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 Australia nationally, starting from humble beginnings with the first club in the small country town of Gunnedah, NSW, to the 400th club in Aspley, Queensland.
The Aspley club belongs to franchise Brett Colman, and is his first Anytime Fitness club. Brett comments “I am excited to be not only an owner of an Anytime Fitness franchise, but also being part of an industry that has such a positive impact on so many people’s lives. Anytime Fitness head office has provided me with endless support and operating systems to assist in the setup of my first club and I am very proud to be opening the 400th”.
As part of the launch the Aspley Club is holding a grand opening on Saturday 9th May – 10am -2pm. To celebrate the 400th opening the club will be donating $400 to charity The Hunger Project through sales of raffle tickets for a Brisbane Broncos Jersey signed by the whole 2015 Team.
