Fitness franchise Anytime Fitness has sold its 300th franchise in Australia.

There are currently 130 Anytime clubs open in Australia, meaning that the chain is to rapidly expand its presence in the country.

"We're currently opening about eight to 10 clubs each month. It won't be long before we have over 300 clubs open in Australia," says Justin McDonell, who along with his sister Jacinta is master franchisee for Australia.

"We believe that we have a further 50-100 clubs that can potentially open on top of the 300 territories already sold."

There are now more than 100,000 Anytime Fitness members in Australia; that number is expected to exceed 300,000 in the coming years.
