Self Esteem Brands (SEB), the parent company of Anytime Fitness, LLC, Basecamp Fitness, LLC, The Bar Method, LLC and Waxing the City Worldwide, LLC, today congratulated Fast Fitness Japan (FFJ) on its successful debut on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, following its Initial Public Offering (IPO). FFJ, with more than 850 Anytime Fitness club locations across Japan, is the largest master franchisee of Anytime Fitness, the world’s largest and fastest-growing health club franchise brand.
SEB views the FFJ listing as a signal of fitness and wellness industry strength as economies emerge from the 2020 global health pandemic. The IPO is also seen as a bellwether for the global franchise industry: Anytime Fitness, with an elevated, personalized approach to fitness and wellness, has continued to experience significant growth. The brand, with more than 4,800 health club locations worldwide, was ranked in 2020 on Entrepreneur magazine’s first-ever Top Growth Franchises list.
“The long game for SEB is a bet on health and wellness, and it’s incredible to watch the growth and success of FFJ,” said Chuck Runyon, co-founder and CEO, SEB. “We embraced a disruptive model when we first started Anytime Fitness and built a multi-billion-dollar worldwide business that stands for health and wellness and supports small businesses. Now, the fitness industry is being disrupted again, shifting after the pandemic to a new normal as people worldwide reconsider the importance of exercise and movement to manage their health. This is a fantastic time for entrepreneurial franchise owners to join our brands, like FFJ, and help communities everywhere embrace their personal wellness in new and different ways.”
