The vendor opportunity at Workout Anytime
Workout Anytime operates 190 franchised fitness locations, with a disclosed average unit volume (AUV) of $518,588.48. The system grew units by 2.7% year-over-year, and all locations are franchised—no company-owned units are disclosed in the 2025 FDD. For software vendors, this represents a 190-unit addressable market where technology decisions are centralized. The royalty rate is 6.0%, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years, with unlimited five-year renewal options available to operators in good standing.
Who controls software purchasing
The franchisor, Workout Anytime Global, LLC, maintains tight control over the technology environment. The 2025 FDD lists Steven C. Strickland (Co-Founder and Board Member), Jerry Pugh (Chief Executive Officer), Lawrence Brayman (Chief Marketing Officer), Michael Anderson (Chief Financial Officer), and Randy Trotter (Executive Vice President Real Estate) as HQ executives. While no dedicated CIO or CTO is named, the presence of a CMO and the nature of the mandated sales and engagement tools suggest that marketing and operations leadership drive software evaluation. Vendors should expect a top-down sales motion targeting the C-suite in Georgia.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD mandates six named systems. DataTrak Membership and Operations serves as the core club management platform. For sales, both GymSales and Ignite Sales are required. Member engagement runs through Ignite Engagement, and MyiCLUB Online handles the digital member experience. FranConnect HUB provides a library of resources. This stack leaves potential gaps in areas like billing, payroll, or advanced analytics, but any new tool must complement—not conflict with—these mandated platforms.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD does not provide an extract detailing procurement procedures, so the exact supplier approval process is not disclosed. However, the mandate of specific named vendors indicates a designated-supplier model for core functions. Renewal terms in Item 17 offer a strategic window: franchisees renew for five-year periods and must sign the then-current franchise agreement, which may contain materially different terms. This clause can force a system-wide technology reassessment as new agreements roll out, creating openings for vendors who align with evolving franchisor standards.
