Operating an Anytime Fitness location in New Hampshire 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.
New Hampshire's own health club law, RSA 358-I:2, requires a health club that registers with the Attorney General to post a $50,000 surety bond, or the equivalent in cash, marketable securities, or an escrow account — the Attorney General designates the bond type, and may reduce the amount when a club's membership-refund liability warrants it. This $25,000 filing is not that reduction order; it's the amount your Anytime Fitness franchise agreement sets for opening or renewing a New Hampshire location, 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 state law. Confirm the current required amount, the correct obligee, and whether New Hampshire's own RSA 358-I:2 filing or exemption also applies to your location directly with your franchisor and the Attorney General's office before you apply.
These are the actual issuing fields, including your Anytime Fitness contract date. The credit section authorizes a soft pull only.
