ANYTIME FITNESS FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT

services to the fund. We will not spend any portion of any advertising fund for advertising principally
designed at solicitation of the sale of franchises, unless we contribute additional amounts to the fund to
cover the cost of that portion of the advertising.
You must conduct a grand opening advertising and promotional program for your center within 30 days
after you open your center. Also, you must, at your own expense, obtain (or contribute to the cost of
obtaining) a listing for your business in the principal "yellow pages" and other telephone directory
serving your area and each of these listings must be of the style, format and size we specify. You may
develop additional advertising materials for your use at your own cost. Before you begin using those
materials, you must submit them to us for our approval. We may also provide you with advertising
materials or offer them to you at an additional cost. You are ultimately responsible for insuring that your
advertising complies with all applicable laws before using them.
Computer Hardware and Software
You will need to purchase a computer to operate your business. We do not specify the computer you
purchase. You may purchase any computer as long as it meets our minimum requirements.
The system we recommend (which meets all our requirements) is available at a current cost of
approximately $1,800. You can lease that system from Provision (see Item 10). This particular computer
has a warranty of 12 months on parts and labor from the date of installation. However, we do not have
any obligation to upgrade or maintain the hardware you purchase or the software that comes with that
computer and we cannot predict the costs of upgrades or maintenance.
Much of the software you will use for your computer is standard software that you will order with your
computer. However, Provision will license to you the billing and payment software for your computer at
no initial cost so long as you obtain your computer from Provision. If you obtain your computer from
another source, then you must pay Provision a software license fee of $999 for this software (see Item 5).
(We own that software, but we license it to Provision, to re-license to our franchisees.) We have been
using this software (or prior versions) since our first Anytime Fitness center opened. The software is
proprietary to us and we have not approved any compatible equivalent software. (Provision's principal
address is 12181 Margo Avenue South, Hastings, Minnesota 55033, and its telephone number is 651-306-
0066.) Provision will also provide the continuing monthly support you need to operate this software.
You will pay Provision a fee, currently $89 a month, for this software support. Provision has advised us
that it intends to provide software updates at no cost to you as part of the monthly support it provides, but
it is not obligated to do so, and whether it does so or not is likely to depend on the extent of any upgrades.
We may require you to upgrade or update your hardware or software at any time during the franchise
term. There are no limitations on the frequency and costs of hardware and software upgrades or updates.
We do not have any contractual obligation to upgrade or update any of your hardware, or software, during
the term of the franchise.
You will use your computer in a variety of ways. It will provide access control for your Anytime Fitness
center, track usage of the center, and allow members reciprocity between centers. You can also add a
point of sale program, but we do not require you to do so. You can also use your computer for e-mail,
internet access, and word processing support.
We will have access to the information in your computer, which we can access as we believe is necessary.
There are no limits on our right to access this information.
