HASTINGS, MN -- Anytime Fitness opened its 1,000th club last week in Nash, TX.

Founded in 2002, the company currently has facilities in 46 states, plus Canada and Australia, serving nearly 600,000 members. During the past two months, Anytime Fitness has opened nearly 90 new clubs.

“In two or three years, we’ll have at least 2,500 clubs open in the U.S., and we’ll have another 750 clubs open internationally,” Jeff Klinger, Anytime Fitness CEO, said in a statement. “Right now, we see incredible opportunities for international growth.”

Klinger says he hopes to open more than 30 clubs in Canada this year, as well as the company's first clubs in Italy and India. Klinger also says the company has sold franchise territory rights for another 1,500 clubs in the United States and expects to celebrate the opening of its 2,000th club next year.

To celebrate the opening of its 1,000th club, Anytime Fitness is offering deals for new membership at participating clubs during the week of Feb. 9-15. Deals include reduced enrollment fees, free tanning and personal training sessions, and one month free with a 12-month membership.
