TAIPEI, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Anytime Fitness, the world’s largest and fastest-growing fitness franchise, continues its momentum across Asia with significant new developments. With more than 5,600 clubs across 40 countries and on all seven continents, the brand remains unmatched in global presence and accessibility.

In Asia, growth is driven by Inspire Brands Asia (IBA), the exclusive regional master franchisee for Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan region, the Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong SAR, and Indonesia. With a rapidly expanding network of over 520 clubs, the region is now Anytime Fitness’ third-largest international market, behind only Japan and Australia. More importantly, it is the fastest-growing engine in the international Anytime Fitness system, selling one new territory every 2 days and opening a new club every 3 days.

Inspire Brands Asia operates the deepest and most diverse regional fitness network across its 8 markets. The company leads the market with 175+ clubs in the Philippines, 150+ clubs in Singapore, and 100+ clubs in Malaysia. In Indonesia, Anytime Fitness is the largest 24-hour gym chain with over 50 clubs, while Hong Kong SAR is nearing 40 locations. Expansion in Thailand has also accelerated, with nearly 20 new clubs opening in just over a year.

Today, the group announces the appointment of new regional agents for Taiwan, a pivotal move for one of the region’s most dynamic and high-potential markets. The new leadership includes two experienced, high-performing franchisees within the Anytime Fitness network:

• Kelly Lei, a multi-market franchisee operating in both Malaysia and Taiwan region, and a seasoned venture capitalist known for mentoring high-growth start-ups.
• Derrick Calixto, a decade-long pioneer of the brand in the Philippines and operator of nearly a dozen clubs.

Together, Lei and Calixto bring a strong combination of operational excellence, strategic insight, and deep consumer understanding. They are committed to accelerating development in Taiwan, with plans to open a dozen new Anytime Fitness clubs within the next year—representing one of the most ambitious expansion initiatives in the market to date.

Johannes Raadsma, Co-Founder and Group President of Inspire Brands Asia, emphasizes the significance of the Taiwan opportunity:

“Taiwan is one of the most mature, well-penetrated fitness markets in Asia, with an estimated 6% gym penetration. There remains substantial potential as we see a clear space for 24-hour, community-based gyms. The market is currently dominated by intimidating big-box formats. Our inclusive brand of ‘Coaching, Caring, Connecting,’ powered by our proprietary Smart Coaching Ecosystem, is uniquely positioned to address the evolving needs of consumers in Taiwan.”

The appointment of Lei and Calixto marks the next chapter of strategic growth for Anytime Fitness Taiwan. Backed by Inspire Brands Asia’s regional scale and the brand’s global leadership, the market is set for accelerated expansion, reinforcing Anytime Fitness’ position as the most accessible, community-driven fitness network in the world.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In the recently announced results of the 2025 Global Tech Awards, MediaGo — an intelligent advertising platform — once again secured top honors in the AdTech Excellence category with its newly upgraded smart bidding solution, SmartBid 3.0.

The Global Tech Awards are among the most influential and authoritative recognitions in the technology sector. Its AdTech category highlights the application of technological innovation in the advertising industry and honors platforms and solutions that significantly enhance advertising efficiency and return on investment.

As an intelligent advertising platform serving global markets, MediaGo continues to leverage deep learning technologies to empower advertisers, enabling sustainable growth and cost optimization in highly competitive environments. To address advertisers’ common challenges—such as prolonged cold start periods and volatile campaign performance—MediaGo introduced the upgraded SmartBid 3.0 through algorithmic enhancements, bringing substantial improvements in both efficiency and stability.

The upgraded SmartBid 3.0 shortens campaign cold start time by more than half. Its innovative global learning capability not only analyzes historical campaign data within the same account, it also incorporates diverse external signals to support real-time, dynamic adjustments to bidding and budget allocation. This approach enhances spending efficiency and scalability while ensuring cost controllability. Campaigns powered by SmartBid 3.0 achieve an average 58% increase in spend completion rate, and for cost-per-acquisition (CPA) optimized campaigns, the CPA overflow rate is effectively controlled within 1.15— ensuring dual stability in both performance and costs.

With its demonstrated ability to help advertisers significantly shorten the cold start cycle, stabilize campaign delivery, and improve returns in real-world scenarios, SmartBid 3.0 received high praise from the Global Tech Awards judging panel, who noted that it “delivers remarkable performance and value in a highly competitive market.”

“We are honored to receive the Global Tech Awards for the second consecutive year. This recognition not only validates our commitment to technological innovation, but also affirms MediaGo’s continued focus on creating value for clients,” said Jianjing Du, Deputy General Manager, Global Business Unit. “The challenges advertisers encounter in real campaign environments have always been the core driving force behind MediaGo’s product optimization. Looking ahead, we will continue to advance deep learning technologies and provide more efficient and practical solutions for global advertisers, supporting their sustained growth amid intense competition.”
