total of $19,999, rather than $17,999) at the earlier of 90 days after you sign the Franchise Agreement,<br />

and the day you begin your initial training. In the case of a Veteran who is qualified for an Initial<br />

Franchise Fee of $14,999, you may pay $7,999 when you sign the Franchise Agreement, and an<br />

additional $8,000 (for a total of $15,999) at the earlier of 90 days after you sign the Franchise Agreement,<br />

and the day you begin your initial training. We do not charge any interest on the portion that is deferred,<br />

but, as indicated, the total Initial Franchise Fee is higher when you pay in installments (see Items 5 and 10<br />

for additional information).<br />

(4) The principal operator of your business must attend mandatory training in Hastings, Minnesota or<br />

such other place we designate. In addition, if your principal operator is not also the person that will own a<br />

controlling interest in your Anytime Fitness center, then the person holding the controlling interest must<br />

also attend and complete this training to our satisfaction before you open your Anytime Fitness center.<br />

While we do not charge you for this training, you do have to pay your travel and living expenses while<br />

you attend the training. Your actual cost will vary, depending on the distance to be traveled, your method<br />

of travel, and your personal circumstances.<br />

(5) Our estimate for initial expenses for real estate and improvements assumes you will lease space for<br />

your Anytime Fitness center. If you open an Anytime Fitness center, you should have at least 2,500<br />

square feet, and we recommend that you not have more than 5,500 square feet for your center. An<br />

Anytime Fitness Express center would generally have less than 2,500 square feet. All our estimates are<br />

based on these assumptions. Rent for these locations will typically vary from $10.00 to $25.00 per square<br />

foot per year. Our franchise model is based on minimizing overhead expenses, including real estate costs.<br />

Costs will vary in relation to the physical size and location ofthe fitness center. A lower cost center is<br />

one that would require fewer leasehold improvements and fewer equipment expenditures. The lower<br />

estimates assumes the landlord will cover many ofthe leasehold improvement costs, as well as free rent.<br />

You may also need to provide a security deposit and a personal guaranty of the lease. Moderate and<br />

higher cost fitness centers may require extensive interior renovations and additional equipment. The<br />

above figures do not include extensive renovations.<br />

(6) Our estimate for equipment assumes you lease all the equipment. The estimate therefore covers only<br />

the security deposit and other up-front costs. The total cost of equipment will vary depending on various<br />

factors, including whether you purchase or lease the equipment, and what equipment you obtain. If you<br />

choose not to lease your equipment or leasing is not available, your initial investment for fitness<br />

equipment, tanning equipment, and operating systems (not including monitoring costs), will increase to:<br />

Anvtime Fitness Anvtime Fitness EXDress<br />

Exercise Equipment $70,000 to $120,000 $40,000 to $70,000<br />

Tanning Equipment Approximately $8,000 Approximately $4,000<br />

Operating System $11,000 to $24,000 $8,000 to $14,000<br />

If you purchase this equipment, the amount of Additional Funds for the 3 months operating expenses<br />

would also be adjusted to reflect that you will not make 3 monthly equipment lease payments, but your<br />

total initial investment will be substantially higher than we have estimated. Some costs will vary in<br />

relation to the physical size of the fitness center and whether you purchase from our recommended<br />

sources or from others. Exercise equipment includes fitness equipment, security devices, access<br />

equipment, televisions and/or stereo, durable floor pads, decorations and fixtures.<br />
