Apple, Anytime Fitness Partner as Tech Giant Enters Gym Space

Anytime members across the U.S. and Canada will get access to an Apple Fitness+ subscription included in their membership at no extra cost

Anytime Fitness, through its parent company Self Esteem Brands, is partnering with Apple Fitness+ to offer users a new way to workout both digitally and in person. Starting from December 1, 2023, Anytime Fitness members across the U.S. and Canada will have access to an Apple Fitness+ subscription included in their membership at no extra cost.

The partnership marks Apple’s first deal with a gym or health club and demonstrates the increasing trend of digital and in-person fitness companies coming together to offer consumers more omnichannel experiences. 

Anytime Fitness has more than 5,200 club locations across 42 countries and offers personalized training and nutrition for its members, who also have 24/7 access to clubs. Prospective Anytime Fitness members who try the gym for free can enjoy a complimentary Apple Fitness+ trial for up to three months, and Apple Fitness+ users who join Anytime Fitness and sign up for at least a 13-month membership will receive their first 30 days of the app free of charge. 

“Every one of our members gets a personalized plan, and we’re thrilled to integrate the power of Apple Fitness+ content with the Anytime Fitness App to help them further individualize the ways they achieve and sustain their goals,” said Stacy Anderson, president of Anytime Fitness.

“Apple Fitness+ was designed to be welcoming to all no matter where they are in their fitness journey, so whether members are looking for a supplement to their coaching through Anytime Fitness or guidance for how to get started on their fitness journey at the gym, there is something for everyone,” Blahnik said.

A personalized experience that combines Anytime Fitness access and Apple Fitness+ content is a strong step in that direction, and we are motivated to reach more people than ever and help improve their physical and mental wellbeing.”
