About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

New York does regulate health clubs under General Business Law Article 30 — but that statute's own bond schedule (GBL § 622-a) starts at $50,000 for a contract term of 12 months or less and scales upward from there, with additional amounts layered on for multi-location operators. A $25,000 bond does not match that schedule, so this filing is not the GBL 622-a health-club bond. It is a condition of your Anytime Fitness franchise agreement — the franchisor requires each New York location to carry it as a $25,000 financial guarantee tied to operating under the Anytime Fitness brand.

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 and any renewal terms directly with your franchisor before you apply — and separately confirm with New York's Department of State whether your location's membership structure also triggers the GBL 622-a bond.

Anytime Fitness franchise agreement — not the New York GBL § 622-a health-club bondThis $25,000 bond is a condition set in the Anytime Fitness franchise agreement. New York General Business Law § 622-a does require most health clubs to post a bond, letter of credit, or certificate of deposit payable to the people of the State of New York for the benefit of injured buyers — but its scaled minimums start at $50,000 for a 12-month-or-shorter contract term and rise from there, with a narrow exemption for clubs whose fees stay at or under $150. A $25,000 figure appears nowhere in that schedule, so confirm with your franchisor and, separately, with the New York Department of State's Division of Licensing whether your location's own contract terms also require the statutory bond.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the New York Anytime Fitness franchise bond?The premium is $250 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every New York location. The $25,000 bond amount comes from your franchise agreement, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond?Franchise bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many franchisees finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.

Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.

Is this the same as New York's health-club bond law?No. New York's General Business Law § 622-a sets its own health-club bond schedule starting at $50,000 — this $25,000 bond comes from your Anytime Fitness franchise agreement instead. Confirm with your franchisor and with the Department of State's Division of Licensing whether your location's contract terms also require the statutory bond.
