CT Anytime Fitness health club bonds.
$250 flat.
Connecticut licenses health clubs under the state's Health Club Act, enforced by the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) — clubs pay into the Connecticut Health Club Guaranty Fund, and only a club barred from the fund posts the statutory $125,000 guaranty bond (CGS § 21a-226); this $25,000 bond is written for an Anytime Fitness franchise location's own filing, not as that statutory security. This is the standard $25,000 bond written for an Anytime Fitness franchise location. Ours is $250 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score, and no hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Connecticut's Health Club Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 21a-216 through 21a-230) puts the Department of Consumer Protection in charge of licensing health clubs and protecting members who pay for memberships in advance. The statute's main financial backstop is the Connecticut Health Club Guaranty Fund — clubs pay into it, and a club barred from the fund must instead post a guaranty bond satisfying the commissioner. This $25,000 bond is the compliance instrument Anytime Fitness uses for its Connecticut franchise locations to document that security to the state and to the franchisor.
It's a three-party arrangement: the franchise location (the principal), the surety carrier, and the party named as obligee on the bond form, with members as the people the bond is meant to protect. If the club closes early, fails to provide contracted services, or otherwise breaches its membership obligations in a way the bond covers, a harmed member can make a claim.
It is not insurance for the franchisee — if the surety pays a claim, the location repays the surety. We name the exact obligee your franchise paperwork or DCP filing calls for, and track the term so the bond stays continuous while you operate the location.
