A Minnesota health club that takes membership prepayments — including an Anytime Fitness franchise location — has to keep a surety bond on file with the Attorney General under Minn. Stat. § 325G.27, so a member who loses a prepaid fee if the club closes has somewhere to collect. This form is built for the $25,000 amount Anytime Fitness franchisees file — ours is $250 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price.
















A health club bond filing is one of the simpler filings in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business and franchise details, plus the date of your Anytime Fitness franchise contract and an effective date. No financials, no lengthy underwriting file.
This bond is one of 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 file with your club registration or renewal at the Minnesota Attorney General’s office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Minnesota regulates health, dating, and buying clubs under Minn. Stat. §§ 325G.23–325G.28. A club that registers with the Attorney General and accepts membership prepayments has to back those prepayments with security — a surety bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, or a cash deposit — sized to what the club could owe its members if it closed.
Under Minn. Stat. § 325G.27, subd. 2, every bonded club maintains a bond issued by a surety company admitted to do business in Minnesota "in an amount not less than the aggregate value of outstanding liabilities to members," and no club is required to post more than $200,000 regardless of how many locations it runs. This filing is built for the $25,000 amount used for a Minnesota Anytime Fitness franchise location — the figure Anytime Fitness and its franchisees have set for this registration.
A copy of the bond goes to the Attorney General with the club’s registration. It is not insurance for you — if a member files a valid claim and the surety pays it, you repay the surety. Registration renews annually, so we track your filing and notify you before it lapses.
These are the actual issuing fields — your franchise contract date, business details, and an effective date. The application includes a soft credit consent only.
