Anytime Fitness to open in New Zealand
New Zealand's first Anytime Fitness club is set to open this August.
The club, located in Christchurch on the South Island, will measure 380sq m and offer a full range of Life Fitness CV and resistance equipment.
The expansion to New Zealand follows a 12-month period in which Anytime Fitness opened eight clubs in Australia.
The brother-sister team of master franchisees in charge of the Australian development - Jacinta and Justin McDonell - will also direct all of the franchise's operations in New Zealand.
"Our research tells us that the New Zealand market will be very receptive to our lower fees. Many competitors specialise in group fitness classes that require three-year memberships at rates of NZ$80-plus a month," says Jacinta. "Our monthly fees will start at NZ$59.95 and we'll be the first provider of 24/7 access."
The McDonells also expect to open 10 new clubs in Australia in the next two months, and five more by the end of the year. Plans for New Zealand are not yet as detailed, but their hope is for "dozens" of clubs within the next two years.
