Health club operator Anytime Fitness is set to open a new club in the heart of Crawley in June.

The 3,200sq ft (297sq m) gym, located in Crawley Town centre, will be equipped with Precor gym equipment and be open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, with a security-access key allowing members to enter the club even when it is not staffed.

The club will be operated by entrepreneur James Ussher on a franchise model.

Ussher said: “There is a great sense of support and community coupled with the ability to expand in the future with further clubs. The Crawley site is the first of a cluster group of clubs that I am seeking to open over the next five years.”

Anytime Fitness is currently ranked number six in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2013 Franchise 500 list. Opening new clubs globally at a rate of nearly one every business day, the group currently has around 1.5 million members.
