We will be setting-up Anytime Fitness clubs across Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman, in a phased and systematic expansion of the chain. In several ways, our gyms will be unique and the first-of-their-kind in these markets, just as they are in the rest of the world, by effectively addressing the needs, preferences, and expectations of all fitness enthusiasts."
Founded in 2002, Anytime Fitness has been the fastest-growing fitness chain in the world, and is ranked #1 on Entrepreneur's prestigious "Top Global Franchise" list, with more than 3 million members and 3,000+ clubs worldwide.

We applaud their vision to improve the health and wellbeing of residents of the Gulf region with the convenient, customer-focused approach of Anytime Fitness, and we look forward to a long and productive partnership".
"Joining one of our clubs and being able to access any of the over 3,000 Anytime Fitness clubs worldwide, accessing the clubs anytime as per your convenience wherever you are, and making use of our group exercise services, are some of the numerous wonderful benefits that the members of our clubs enjoy in addition to being able to undertake the personal training options that we offer", added Fakhro.

Whether weight-loss is your goal, or increased strength or improved balance and flexibility — or a combination – we're committed to helping you achieve all of those goals."
Commenting on the signing, Amin Al Arrayed, CEO of First Bahrain stated, "El Mercado Janabiya was designed with the needs of its neighborhood in mind. Accordingly, we are thrilled to welcome Anytime Fitness.
