Anytime Fitness Lyon Villeurbanne, France
Designing for Connection and Confidence
When the first Anytime Fitness clubs opened in France, the mission was clear: create a community-driven experience where every workout feels personal.
Partnering with Life Fitness meant blending premium design with approachability. Each zone was designed to encourage learning, comfort, and motivation ‒ especially for older or less experienced members.
Key design highlights include:
- Open, light-filled layouts for a welcoming environment.
- Functional training zones to build community through group sessions.
- Simple, intuitive machines that educate members on proper movement.
- Digital consoles that combine entertainment and customization to enhance engagement.
The result: clubs that feel both local and world-class ‒ spaces that motivate without intimidating.
BRINGING THE ANYTIME FITNESS EXPERIENCE TO FRANCE
A Partnership That Builds Momentum
Launching Anytime Fitness in a new country required flexibility, trust, and shared ambition. Together, the teams navigated design approvals, construction timelines, and evolving club concepts ‒ all while staying focused on one goal: opening strong and staying true to the brand.
Now, three clubs are thriving across France, with more to come in early 2026 and beyond. The collaboration has proven that when expertise meets adaptability, growth follows naturally.
What began as a project has evolved into a partnership built on mutual understanding ‒ and a shared belief in doing things right.
