Operating an Anytime Fitness location in Maine 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.
















A franchise-agreement bond like this is one of the simpler filings in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, your Anytime Fitness contract date, and an effective date. That's the application.
Franchise bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to submit as part of your Anytime Fitness location paperwork. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Maine has no health-club-specific licensing law and no state agency that registers health clubs the way some states do — the closest state statute, Title 10, Chapter 205-B, governs automatic-renewal disclosure and cancellation rights for health club memberships, and does not require or authorize a surety bond. This $25,000 filing is set entirely by your Anytime Fitness franchise agreement as a condition of opening or renewing a Maine location — it isn't a Maine statutory filing, and it's the bond this page issues.
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 Maine law. Confirm the current required amount and the correct obligee directly with your franchisor before you apply.
These are the actual issuing fields, including your Anytime Fitness contract date. The credit section authorizes a soft pull only.
