What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This bond is not a Montana state licensing requirement — Montana has no health-club or physical-fitness-services bonding statute on its books. It's a franchise-agreement requirement: Anytime Fitness, LLC directs its franchisees to carry a $25,000 surety bond, purchased through the franchisor's designated bond program, so members who prepaid dues or personal-training packages have somewhere to turn if a location closes before delivering what they paid for.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal and franchisee), the surety carrier, and the parties the bond protects — your prepaying members, with the franchisor administering the requirement. If a location shuts down owing prepaid fees the bond covers, an affected member can bring a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Keep the bond in force for as long as your franchise agreement requires it; we track your term and remind 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
Pay & e-sign. Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. Issued when you pay. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
