The Anytime Fitness health club that was to open this fall in International Falls is on hold.
Anytime Fitness, headquartered in Hastings, announced plans last May to open a corporate owned club in the Falls. Most of the clubs are independently owned and operated.
“We thought we had a deal on a particular location to build an Anytime Fitness club in International Falls, but at the last minute lease negotiations became challenging,” said Mark Daly, corporate communications, Anytime Fitness.
“At this point, I cannot tell you when an Anytime Fitness club will open in International Falls, but we remain hopeful that it will happen in 2009,” he added.
Anytime Fitness has about 100 fitness clubs in Minnesota alone, and 800 franchise clubs in 45 states, Canada and Australia. They differ from the big box clubs as a 24/7 club with exercise machines, but not swimming pools or basketball courts.
