## Story

Mississippi is to welcome 25 more Anytime Fitness centers. The state already hosts 29 locations owned by entrepreneurs such as multi-unit operators Mark and Kristie Stevens, who own five locations throughout Mississippi. Mark Stevens said, “Anytime Fitness works hard to equip us with the tools needed to help our members achieve their fitness goals, One of the most rewarding experiences is to be able to impact lives. In an increasingly competitive market, it’s our members’ successes that become our best advertisements.”

Chuck Runyon, co-founder and CEO of Anytime Fitness said, “We’re not looking to simply grow a franchise brand – we’re looking to grow and help individuals reach their specific goals and achieve a healthy, happy lifestyle, We’re searching for local entrepreneurs who share our passion for building relationships and helping others so that we can achieve that vision in communities across the state.” Anytime Fitness has over 800 gyms on five continents.
