Talk to Averan → Move your books and accounting to Averan →- A member pays $32.46 a month. That is $389.46 a year across the top quarter’s 45 clubs *, ranging from $243.14 to $550.93, $20.26 to $45.91 a month.
- The average club needs 1,327 members and a bottom-quarter club is running 708. That is $516,823 and $275,824 at $389.46 a member *, a gap of 619 members.
- Revenue per square foot runs $61.92 to $157.69 inside the top quarter alone. 2.5 times *, on clubs of 5,500 to 18,100 square feet, so the top quarter of the system already contains the whole range.
- The filed system total is $1,299,011 below what 181 clubs at the filed average produce. That is $92,245,952 against $93,544,963 *, within a dollar of the single largest club’s $1,299,012.
- Fees paid to the brand take 8.00% of revenue at every sales level. Local advertising adds a further 5% above $480,000 and 17.70% at the lowest-selling club, $24,000 on $135,597 *, because the $2,000 monthly minimum advertising charge reaches 5% only at $480,000.
How much does a Workout Anytime franchise make?
The average Workout Anytime unit reported $516,823 of revenue in the 2026 FDD, and the median reported $448,160. The brand’s disclosure document discloses revenue and not profit, so what an owner keeps depends on the cost structure set out below. Fees come off the top first, at about 8% of sales across royalty, brand fund and the rest of the stack. Revenue is not income. Rent, wages, cost of goods and the franchise fees all come out before an owner is paid. The figures for the highest-selling and lowest-selling businesses are below.
What a member pays
Sales by quarter and implied members, 2025
Revenue covers all 181 clubs open the whole of 2025; member counts cover only the top quarter. Those 45 clubs hold 2,375 members on average and produce $389.46 a member a year. Read the rest of the system at that rate and revenue becomes a headcount.
| Quarter | Clubs | Average | Median | Lowest | Highest | Members at $389.46 * | A month at $32.46 * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top | 45 | $868,297 | $857,287 | $655,692 | $1,299,012 | 2,230 | $72,358 |

Club counts, revenue figures and the quarter structure are as the brand reported it; the last two columns are marked *.
A member pays $32.46 a month. That is $389.46 a year *, on a range inside the top quarter of $243.14 to $550.93. So the top-monetizing club in that group earns 2.27 times what the lowest-selling does from each person.
The gap from the bottom quarter to the average is 619 members. That is 708 against 1,327 *, $241,000 of revenue, or about 52 net joiners a month for a year.
The highest-selling club earns 9.58 times the lowest-selling one. $1,299,012 against $135,597, and the top quarter averages 3.15 times the bottom *.
Filed total against filed average
The all-club block reports both a total of $92,245,952 and an average of $516,823 across 181 clubs. Those two describe different populations: 181 clubs at the average come to $93,544,963.

Top performers

Both run the same brand, on the same agreement, paying the same fees. The middle location sold $448,160. The average was $516,823. More than half the system is below the number the brand quotes.

Square feet
Top quarter clubs, 2025
Square footage across the top quarter of clubs runs wider than the model tables suggest. 5,500 at the smallest, 18,100 at the largest, median 8,400 and average 8,862. Revenue per square foot inside that same group runs from $61.92 to $157.69.
| Measure | Highest | Median | Average | Lowest | Top to bottom * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | $1,299,012 | $857,287 | $868,297 | $655,692 | 1.98× |
| Active members | 3,848 | 2,382 | 2,375 | 1,485 | 2.59× |
| Square feet | 18,100 | 8,400 | 8,862 | 5,500 | 3.29× |
| Revenue a member | $550.93 | $395.83 | $389.46 | $243.14 | 2.27× |
| Revenue a square foot | $157.69 | $108.85 | $106.91 | $61.92 | 2.55× |
Every figure here is as the brand reported it and the last column is marked *.
The average top-quarter Workout Anytime club has 3.73 square feet for each member. 2,375 across 8,862 square feet *, a club at the 18,100 square foot end needs 4,851 members to hold that density.
Space varies 3.29 times where revenue varies 1.98 times. So inside the top quarter, floor space is the loosest variable of the three and the one an owner fixes on day one *.
The lowest-selling revenue per square foot in the top quarter is $61.92. Against $157.69 at the top quarter, $95.77 a square foot, which on a 12,000 square foot Core club is $1,149,240 of annual revenue between the two *.
Three models and the brand’s cut
Cost to open by model
Three models are priced. Core runs 8,000 to 12,000 square feet, Plus 12,000 to 16,000 and XL 16,000 to 20,000. The build and the equipment package move together.
| Line | Core low | Core high | Plus low | Plus high | XL low | XL high |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real estate improvements and build-out | $524,000 | $657,000 | $676,000 | $909,000 | $1,110,000 | $1,313,000 |
| Initial equipment package | $393,500 | $450,000 | $513,000 | $566,000 | $606,000 | $660,000 |
| Additional funds | $40,000 | $80,000 | $40,000 | $80,000 | $40,000 | $80,000 |
| Initial franchise fee | $35,000 | $35,000 | $35,000 | $35,000 | $35,000 | $35,000 |
| Low-voltage audio-visual and door access | $20,000 | $40,500 | $35,000 | $48,000 | $45,000 | $52,000 |
| Signage | $20,000 | $40,000 | $20,000 | $40,000 | $20,000 | $40,000 |
| Rent and security deposit | $16,000 | $24,000 | $24,000 | $32,000 | $32,000 | $40,000 |
| Advertising and start strong | $16,000 | $24,000 | $16,000 | $24,000 | $16,000 | $24,000 |
| Architect fees | $9,000 | $18,000 | $9,000 | $18,000 | $9,000 | $18,000 |
| Furniture, office equipment and supplies | $9,000 | $18,000 | $9,000 | $18,000 | $9,000 | $18,000 |
| Insurance | $6,000 | $18,000 | $6,000 | $18,000 | $6,000 | $18,000 |
| Deposits and permits | $2,000 | $5,000 | $2,000 | $5,000 | $2,000 | $5,000 |
| Travel and living while training | $1,200 | $2,400 | $1,200 | $2,400 | $1,200 | $2,400 |
| Total | $1,091,700 | $1,411,900 | $1,386,200 | $1,795,400 | $1,931,200 | $2,305,400 |
| Per square foot * | $90.97 | $176.49 | $86.64 | $149.62 | $96.56 | $144.09 |
Every amount is as the brand reported it and the per-square-foot row is marked *; all six columns add to their stated totals exactly.
Build and equipment are 84.0% of a Core club’s low estimate. $917,500 of $1,091,700 *, and the XL model adds $798,500 of the two together against Core.
The XL box costs 1.77 times the Core one. That is $1,931,200 against $1,091,700 *, for 2.0 to 2.5 times the floor area. So the cost per square foot falls as the box grows while the revenue per square foot has to be earned.
Royalty and advertising costs
Royalty is 6% of gross revenues and the brand development fee is 2%. Local advertising is $4,000 a month for the first year and then the greater of $2,000 a month or 5% of gross revenues. So the minimum applies to any club below $480,000, and the system median is $448,160.
| Sales | Royalty at 6% | Brand development at 2% | Local advertising | Paid to the brand | Share paid to the brand | Members it costs * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1,299,012, the highest club | $77,941 | $25,980 | $64,951 | $103,921 | 8.00% | 267 |
| $868,297, the top quarter | $52,098 | $17,366 | $43,415 | $69,464 | 8.00% | 178 |
| $516,823, the system average | $31,009 | $10,336 | $25,841 | $41,345 | 8.00% | 106 |
| $448,160, the system median | $26,890 | $8,963 | $24,000 | $35,853 | 8.00% | 92 |
| $275,824, the bottom quarter | $16,549 | $5,516 | $24,000 | $22,065 | 8.00% | 57 |
| $135,597, the lowest club | $8,136 | $2,712 | $24,000 | $10,848 | 8.00% | 28 |
Rates, minimums and revenue figures are as the brand reported it. Every dollar figure, share and member count is marked. Taking the greater of 5% and the $2,000 monthly minimum on the advertising line, which the owner spends and which is not in the paid-to-the-brand total, and dividing that total by the $389.46 a member the top quarter produces.
The minimum advertising charge costs the lowest-selling club 17.70% of its revenue. That is $24,000 on $135,597 *, 62 members carried for a full year just to fund it.
A club at the system median pays the minimum by $1,592. 5% of $448,160 is $22,408 against the $24,000 minimum *, so half the system sits on the fixed side of that line.
Launch marketing is $108,000 across six months. $30,000 before opening, $30,000 after, and $48,000 over the first twelve months *, which is 277 members at $389.46 before a single one has paid for the year.
The network of locations
Clubs opened and closed, 2023 to 2025
| Year | At start | Opened | Terminated | Ceased for other reasons | At end | Transfers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 179 | 8 | 0 | 2 | 185 | 10 |
| 2024 | 185 | 12 | 7 | 0 | 190 | 8 |
| 2025 | 190 | 10 | 11 | 0 | 189 | 17 |
Every figure is as the brand reported it, and start plus openings less departures reconciles to the year-end count in all three years.
Departures overtook openings for the first time in three years. That is 11 against 10 in 2025, after 7 against 12 and 2 against 8 *.
One club in eleven changed hands in 2025. 17 transfers against 189 clubs *, more than double the eight of the previous year, so buying an existing club is a live route into this system.
