Workout Anytime, the 24/7 fitness franchise with over 190 locations nationwide, named Tim Hicks as vice president of Franchise Development.

Hicks has more than 20 years of experience leading franchise strategy, operations and growth initiatives across multi-unit systems. He has worked for Elevated Brands, the parent of Massage Heights and The Gents Place, as well as The Bar Method, Gold’s Gym, Mystic Tan, and Capitol Entertainment Group.

“Workout Anytime sits at the intersection of what operators want and what investors value. It’s a straightforward model with strong margins, predictable execution and real scalability,” said Hicks. “I feel fortunate to be a part of the team that can provide the opportunity to help align franchisee success with long-term platform growth.”

The hiring follows the April 2025 appointment of Jerry Pugh, owner of Workout Anytime’s largest franchisee, as CEO. Workout Anytime plans to accelerate growth over the next few years, opening 50 additional locations in the next two years.

“Tim brings a rare combination of franchise sales, operations and brand leadership experience,” said Pugh. “As we continue building for the future, his focus on authenticity and franchisee success will be instrumental in shaping how we grow and who we grow with.”
