TESTIMONIALS

Coming from a banking background, I’ve always valued smart, long-term investments and health is the most important one. My own fitness journey led me to explore franchising with Anytime Fitness, and the 24/7 model stood out for making fitness accessible anytime, anywhere. Even after COVID, the brand has continued to grow strongly, and so have I as a multi-club owner, driven by the trust people place in it.

I wasn’t from the fitness industry and was initially hesitant, but the support I received made all the difference. From setting up my first gym to scaling operations, the guidance at every step helped me grow into owning two gyms across Mumbai. It’s been a truly rewarding journey- both professionally and personally.

Finding the right location was just the start, what really made the difference was how smoothly everything came together after that. Growing multiple gyms isn’t easy, but with Anytime Fitness, the support and structure made it feel manageable and steady. Over time, I’ve been able to build and grow across locations, and it’s been a genuinely rewarding journey- both as a business and in seeing more people become a part of fitness.
