CO Anytime Fitness franchise bonds.
$250 flat.
Operating an Anytime Fitness location in Colorado means posting a $25,000 surety bond under your franchise agreement — ours is $250 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only — no hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Colorado's health club deceptive-trade-practices law (C.R.S. § 6-1-704) does impose its own bonding duties on some health clubs — a $100,000-per-location bond for a club open more than two years that sells membership contracts longer than 24 months, and a separate $50,000 bond or escrow tied to preopening membership sales at a club that hasn't opened yet. That statutory bond is separate from this one. This $25,000 bond is a condition of your Anytime Fitness franchise agreement: the franchisor requires each Colorado location to carry it as a financial guarantee tied to operating under the Anytime Fitness brand.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the franchisee), the surety carrier, and Anytime Fitness or its designated affiliate (the obligee), with the franchise system and its members as the protected interest. If a franchisee fails to meet the obligations the bond covers, a claim can be made against it up to $25,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Keep a copy of your bond and your franchise agreement together, since the exact conditions triggering a claim are set by your agreement with Anytime Fitness, not by state law. Confirm the current required amount and any renewal terms directly with your franchisor before you apply — and separately confirm with the Colorado Attorney General's office whether your specific membership contract lengths also trigger the statutory health-club bond.
