Georgia Anytime Fitness health club bonds.
$250 flat.
Anytime Fitness franchisees in Georgia post a $25,000 surety bond under the terms of the Anytime Fitness Franchise Agreement, to protect members who pay in advance for memberships or personal training — Georgia's own Fair Business Practices Act does not itself require a health club to post a bond. Ours is $250 flat.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Anytime Fitness LLC, the franchisor, requires each Georgia franchisee to carry a $25,000 surety bond for the term of the Franchise Agreement. Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.2) regulates health-spa membership contracts and disclosures, but the Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division confirms that health spas are not required to post a bond under state law — the protection here comes from the franchise agreement, not a statute.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the franchisee), the surety carrier, and Anytime Fitness LLC (the obligee), with members who prepaid for memberships or personal training as the protected parties. If a location closes or fails to honor prepaid membership terms, a harmed member's recourse runs through the bond and the franchisor's claims process.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for the life of your Franchise Agreement, so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out. Confirm the exact bonding clause in your own Franchise Agreement and Item 6 of the Franchise Disclosure Document — terms can vary by franchise vintage.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
