Updated November 17, 2020 In Response To Recent Public Health Concerns Anytime Fitness is dedicated to keeping our members, staff, and all those in the community safe while social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis. We believe that exercising is imperative for people to stay healthy, and we would like to offer our insight on how best our industry can adapt to new guidelines and move forward to operate in this new environment. Our brands have a significant presence throughout North America. There are 2,650 independent, small business Anytime Fitness franchises in the United States and Canada, each employing approximately 4 people. As such, we play a vital role in shaping our local communities. In many situations, we represent the only option that many people have to maintain and improve their physical health. We are proud to bring members a quality of life amenity that supports communities and helps people live healthier lives. Our clubs are owned and operated by our hardworking, entrepreneurial franchise owners who care about and are invested in making their community a great place to live and work. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the beginning of Shelter in Place orders, we have been working day in and day out to put forth and implement tools that will best serve our franchise small business owners, protect our employees, do what is best for our members, and be responsible to the greater community. We are committed to bringing the best of our organization to the table to work with government officials and health experts to map out the safest way for our businesses to reopen and serve our members safely. After monitoring industry and various federal and state guidelines, we have developed steps for Anytime Fitness owners. These guidelines are outlined below. Franchisee/Gym Protocol All safety guidelines will be made available upon entrance, throughout the gym, and via digital platforms. Live and video monitoring of clubs will be implemented by each franchisee to ensure protocols are being followed. Staffing Staff will: Understand quarantine behaviors; Be strongly encouraged to wear masks and gloves at all times whenever provisions are available; Know club capacity restrictions (if any) and how to monitor; and No employees will share offices or be in enclosed spaces within 6 feet of each other.

Updated April 1st, 2020 A message from our founders: Our COVID-19 response The safety and health of our customers, franchise owners and employees of Anytime Fitness are of utmost importance as we adhere to COVID-19 policies and mandates from federal, state and local authorities. The franchise owners representing Anytime Fitness in communities and physical locations worldwide are independent, small-business operators. We have advised these franchise owners to continue to follow the guidance of local health officials and government mandates and to use good judgment when making decisions that affect their customers and communities. They are closest to the latest local guidance and mandates; they are monitoring the course of events daily and making the appropriate changes to their local operations, including the closure of our storefronts. We do not have a timeline currently to reopen any of our closed locations. We will update this message with details as soon as they are available. If you are a member of Anytime Fitness, many of our clubs are offering members a freeze on their memberships while the clubs are temporarily closed, with the time credited to the end of their memberships. We are also providing free access to our virtual content via our Instagram and Facebook profiles, including workouts, health and wellness tips, and members have access to workouts anytime, anywhere on the AF App. Some clubs continue to serve members through virtual training. Please check your local franchise location for details. Again, the public and club members may access virtual online fitness, health and wellness content via Anytime Fitness.
