About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

South Dakota's general consumer-protection scheme for prepaid membership clubs sits in the Buying Clubs chapter of the trade regulation title, which requires a club collecting prepayment for services or merchandise to maintain a bond filed with, and approved by, the Attorney General — that chapter's own bond amount is set at a much larger figure and is aimed at buying clubs generally, not sized to this specific filing. This $25,000 bond is instead the compliance instrument Anytime Fitness's franchise system uses for its South Dakota locations to document security behind prepaid, long-term memberships, whichever obligee your paperwork calls for.

It's a three-party arrangement: the franchise location (the principal), the surety carrier, and the party named as obligee on the bond form, with members as the people the bond is meant to protect. If the club closes early, fails to provide contracted services, or otherwise breaches its membership obligations in a way the bond covers, a harmed member can make a claim against it to recover prepaid fees.

It is not insurance for the franchisee — if the surety pays a claim, the location repays the surety. We name the exact obligee your franchise paperwork calls for, and track the term so the bond stays continuous while you operate the location.

Anytime Fitness franchise agreement — not a South Dakota statuteWe could not verify a South Dakota statute that sets a $25,000 bond specifically for health clubs. South Dakota's Buying Clubs chapter (SDCL 37-26) requires any club that collects prepayment for services or membership to maintain a bond filed with and approved by the Attorney General, but the amount that chapter sets is $100,000, not $25,000, and it is aimed at buying clubs generally rather than health clubs by name — so it is not the source of this specific $25,000 figure. This filing is the compliance instrument Anytime Fitness's own franchise system requires of a South Dakota location to document prepaid-membership security; the exact obligee named on the bond form should match whatever your franchise paperwork or any state filing you're completing specifies. Confirm the required obligee with your franchisor before filing, and we'll match the bond to it.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the South Dakota Anytime Fitness health club bond?The premium is $250 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this specific bond form, the same for every South Dakota Anytime Fitness location that files it. The $25,000 bond amount is fixed for this filing, 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 health club 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 credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.

Who is the obligee on this bond?It depends on exactly what your franchise paperwork calls for. South Dakota doesn't run this filing through a dedicated health-club bonding statute, so some locations name Anytime Fitness or a designated agent as obligee rather than a state agency. Tell us which one applies and we'll issue the bond to match.
