In what year was Anytime Fitness founded?

Anytime Fitness was founded in 2002.

The fitness franchise began in Cambridge, Minnesota, with founders Chuck Runyon, Dave Mortensen, and Jeff Klagstad. Its central idea was to offer members access to gyms at any hour, supported by electronic entry systems and a networked membership model.

The brand expanded through franchised clubs rather than relying primarily on company-owned gyms. That structure allowed local operators to open locations while using common equipment standards, branding, technology, and marketing.

Anytime Fitness is sometimes confused with 24 Hour Fitness, another brand built around extended gym access. The two companies are separate businesses, and Anytime Fitness was established in 2002.
