Brand Analysis
The 2026 FDD prices an Anytime Fitness franchise at $539,329 to $905,482 and charges a flat $842 monthly royalty, not a percentage. Every Item 7 line item, the four revenue quartiles, and the fee clause most cost pages have never read.
Brand Analysis
Club Pilates' 2026 FDD shows total investment of $403K to $1.0M, a $65K franchise fee, and an 8% royalty.

Here's the math.
