What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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.
How to file it
File with the Attorney General. 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.
