Formula: Item 19 Section I median Total Revenue / Item 7 total (midpoint, low, high). A ratio of 1.00 means one year of median unit revenue equals the investment; it says nothing about profit.

Source and method
Every figure above comes from the Anytime Fitness Franchise Disclosure Document issued 2026-03-31 and amended 2026-09-14, as filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (filing 640660, registry record). The PDF is the franchisor's and is not hosted here; the item and page beside each figure is where to check it. Item 7 and Item 20 tables were read cell by cell; Item 19 was read by hand; each Item 20 year was checked to sum (start + opened − exits = end) before it was recorded.
