What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Anytime Fitness LLC's franchise agreement requires its Ohio franchise owners to carry a $25,000 surety bond as a condition of the franchise, separate from any state licensing scheme — Ohio does not license health clubs, and this bond is not conditioned on an Ohio statute. Franchisees across most states carry the same $25,000 amount, because the franchisor, not a state regulator, sets it.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the party the franchise agreement designates as obligee, with members who prepay for memberships as the protected parties. If a franchise closes or otherwise defaults on its obligations to members in a way the bond covers, a claim can be made against it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Separately, Ohio's own Prepaid Entertainment Contracts Act (R.C. 1345.41 to 1345.50) requires a narrower $10,000 bond, in favor of the State of Ohio, but only from a health-spa seller whose facility is still under construction when membership contracts are sold — a different, state-set requirement that this $25,000 franchise bond does not replace or satisfy. Confirm both obligations with your franchisor and, if applicable, the Ohio Attorney General's office.

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 your franchisor. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to send to Anytime Fitness LLC as your franchise agreement requires. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
