AL Anytime Fitness health club bonds.
$250 flat.
Alabama's Health Studio Services Act (Ala. Code §8-23-3) puts every seller of health studio services through registration and a security-bond filing with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division — this listing is the $25,000 bond written for an Anytime Fitness franchise location's registration. Ours is $250 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and the short application includes only a soft credit-consent, never a hard pull.

Consumer-protection registration bonds like this are simple. Here's the entire process:
Apply online
Business details, your Anytime Fitness location, and an effective date. That's most of the application — the only sensitive field is a soft credit-consent checkbox.

Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
File with the Division
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division alongside your health studio registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Alabama's Health Studio Services Act (Ala. Code §8-23-1 et seq.) requires every person who sells health studio services — instruction, training, or the right to use exercise or weight-reduction equipment, which reaches a franchised gym like an Anytime Fitness location — to register with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division and to maintain a security bond as part of that filing. The statute's own dollar figure, "not less than $50,000," is written for a studio that sells contracts for services at a planned or under-construction facility — a club taking prepaid dues before it opens its doors. An operating, already-built franchise location is registering under the same chapter without that preconstruction fact pattern, and the Division's registration filing for this Anytime Fitness location specifies a $25,000 bond; confirm the figure on your own filing before you buy.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the franchise location), the surety carrier, and the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division as obligee, with your Alabama members as the protected parties. A member who suffers a loss because of the studio's breach of contract or bankruptcy may bring an action on the bond and recover against the surety; the surety's total liability can never exceed the bond's face amount, no matter how many claims are filed.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a member's claim, you repay the surety. The application asks for a soft credit-consent, not a full credit application, and it runs no hard inquiry. Keep the bond continuous for as long as the location is registered; we send renewal notices ahead of expiration so the Division filing never lapses.
