Anytime Fitness Inc. plans to open its first fitness center in Mexico within the next six months, the company announced Friday.
Hastings-based Anytime has signed a master franchisee agreement with Mexican-American entrepreneur Rodrigo Chavez, who already operates an Anytime location in Roanoke, Texas. He also owns several construction-related businesses.
Chavez plans to open five Mexican clubs within a year, then grow to 50 clubs within three years and 100 clubs within five years. He will focus on popular tourist destinations like Cancun, Guadalajara, Monterrey and Los Cabos, hoping to attract resort workers as members.
