, /PRNewswire/ – Purpose Brands LLC is pleased to announce that Anytime Fitness, the world’s largest fitness club and personalized coaching experience brand, has announced its latest master franchise agreement with ABFit, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The announcement arrives as the Kingdom continues to pursue its Saudi Vision 2030 for improving the quality of life and promoting the health of all its citizens and residents.

“We are thrilled to bring the Anytime Fitness brand to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Raed Alarabi Alharthi, investor partner and general manager, ABFit. “Health and fitness are key components of The Saudi Vision 2030 goals, and we are proud to make this investment and expand access to fitness services across the Kingdom.”

The first Anytime Fitness club will open in spring 2026, followed by the opening of at least 60 clubs over the next six years with both women’s and men’s branches in various cities across Saudi Arabia.

“There has never been a better time than now to welcome the Anytime Fitness brand to the Kingdom,” said Asem Abu Eisheh, CEO, Anytime Fitness Saudi Arabia. “The Ministry of Health offers numerous nutrition and physical activity initiatives to support healthy lifestyles; the Ministry of Sports works to increase the percentage of individuals who engage in regular physical activity; and the Ministry of Investment encourages investments in the fitness sector, creating an attractive environment that supports sustainable growth. Working together with these initiatives and continuous efforts from government entities, we look forward to growing a thriving base of Anytime Fitness clubs that help all people across the Kingdom live stronger, healthier and longer lives.”

With the addition of KSA, Anytime Fitness clubs offering personalized coaching, nutrition and recovery services will now operate in 49 countries and territories around the world, a key benefit for the 5 million Anytime Fitness members worldwide.

“As we move with intention to expand the ways Anytime Fitness helps people with their personal health and wellness journeys, this agreement with ABFit and the vote of confidence from the Kingdom is something we deeply respect,” said Stacy Anderson, global president, Anytime Fitness. “We strongly believe in the double-digit growth forecasts for the $6.3 trillion global wellness economy* over the next decade, and investments like those being made by the Kingdom are crucial to help ensure we evolve health and wellness in ways that are more accessible for people and communities worldwide.”

The deal additionally expands the Purpose Brands presence in Saudi Arabia, with the Anytime Fitness brand joining Orangetheory Fitness, which also operates in the Kingdom.
