Anytime Fitness

I would not change a thing about this gym.
Clean, bright, ideal size for me. (There may not be enough of the machines that super-​serious-​lifters are into.) I’d say it’s more relaxed than a Gold’s and more serious than a Planet Fitness (that place where you can’t grunt, and they have pizza days, WTF.) This place has free bananas, free small loaner towels, and there are Internet cat meme pics around that place that are both informational and goofy. In fact, I would like more.
Music is ideal and should appeal to most (e.g. Ke$ha, Ozzy, Michael Jackson, Shakira, Foreigner, even Weird Al sometimes). Nothing to rave-​y and no godawful rap-​rock from 20 years ago. Not too loud. Two TVs usually showing Comedy Central and something-​sports. Gym is actually open 24 hours unlike some gyms that have misleading claims in their brand name.
Colleen and Will (office girl and personal trainer guy — hope I’m not having a mental lapse on their names) are both super pleasant, helpful, normal, and have a sense of humor. They are there every M-​F as far as I can tell. Keep them on staff! All of the members have been easy-​going and respectful in my interactions.

The girl who works there is super nice, gym is clean, all what you need for good workout
Went there for a day, they didn’t charge me anything.
I would recommend it to others

I love this gym! I come as often as I can. The girl who manages it is great to talk to and she is super friendly.
The equipment is always well maintained and the other patrons here actually clean up after themselves. I find that at bigger gyms the stuff is always gross with dried out sweat prints so it’s really nice to not have to deal with that here. So fresh and so clean, clean!
The TVs are always on something good so I don’t have to mess with that either. None of that political junk unless you’re on the treadmill and want to watch it on your own!
Basically it’s a nice cozy gym with a reasonable cost where you won’t get harassed by people trying to upsell you on anything. You choose to come here, you don’t get tricked into it.

while its a fairly small gym, there is still pretty much any type of machine /​equipment you will need. what i like most about this gym is the casual/​friendly atmosphere. the people here are chill, particularly the staff. Colleen keeps the place spotless and is always willing to chat or help out with any issues you may have. There is a suggestion box that actually gets responses which are posted on the community board. I should also mention that this place is never crowded, which is a very big + for me.

Pretty good AF. As someone who thrives on functional movement, it’s a bit upsetting to see an Anytime in a city as large as Austin with only one squat rack. Aside from that, the facility was very clean and I enjoyed the meme and pictures posted everywhere.
My last negative is that I could not find the WiFi password posted ANYWHERE visible. I wasn’t able to visit during staff hours so this was a bit of an inconvenience

This gym isn’t too bad. Kind of small but gets the job done. The problem is the staff. The other night I was at the gym with my spouse. We were working out and it looked like management came in. We could see them in the office talking but we didnt think anything of it.
The next thing we know they are standing out on the floor staring at us. They walk back to the office talk and come out again. Stare at us again. One of the managers took a seat in the lobby. We finished our workout and walked past him to leave. Not a «good night» «have a good day» nothing just stared at us as we walked out. Customer service is key.

The equipment selection is a bit limited, but it’s not crowded at all and has enough variety to perform most basic workouts.

A smallish but a nice place to work out.
Very much a what you see is what you get kind of deal too. The equipment is in good to great shape, the gym is kept clean, the patrons are friendly, and ²⁴⁄₇ access means you can come in whenever. If you come in and take a walk around and see everything you will need in a gym you’ll be quite happy here. I rarely go at peak times but even when I have it hasn’t been uncomfortably busy.
The only downside that I experience is the half rack. It works great for squats but doesn’t go low enough for a bench press.

This isn’t my home gym, but I’ve been a few times.
Pros:
*Cheaper than my home gym, I wish I would’ve signed up here, though I would’ve felt guilty about that… I think around 30−35/mo.
*Large space
*Not very crowded during daytime hours
Cons:
*One rack, and it’s the wonky rack I don’t prefer. This is a major con, and they can totally fix it, they have the space. My friend and I were lifting for two hours, and near the end a guy came up and asked when we’d be done; he’d been waiting forever just to do his routine. Two racks are necessary at a gym.
*Only two bathrooms/​showers.
Overall, decent space, a little lacking in equipment, but again, they have the space and can fix that. No stairmaster machines, they have the basic elliptical, treadmill, bikes. Basic circuit equipment. This is the least equipped AF I’ve been to, but I suspect it’ll improve with time.
3.5÷5 stars.

Very misleading and rude. I was signed in for a four month special, after I specifically mentioned to them that I was looking at Anytime fitness because I was moving to Indiana in a month’s time. They said the usual marketing things. However, after moving, I find that my keycard doesnt work. On checking with the anytime fitness in Indiana, I find that I’m not in the system. The manager in Indiana called this branch and they told him, I can’t go to any other branch because it was a «local special», something they conveniently forgot to tell me when i signed up. The manager especially is very rude, when I spoke to her. She said it’s in my rights to call my credit card company to cancel (When I asked her if we could work anything out and then said I had no choice but to contest). I did contest and won. Quite a pathetic experience really. I think the manager is the root cause, otherwise the chain is good (the manager in Indiana was reasonable). To be avoided.

I’ve been coming to Anytime for two weeks now. This is my first «real-​life» gym membership after having graduating from UT Austin’s gyms. In addition, I’m partly writing this review because the picture of the girl stares at me each time I check Unilocal.It must end.
Pros:
— They’ve got specials to sign up. I caved in for January’s promotion — $ 35/​mo (without tax), $ 30 access key, and no enrollment fee. Usually the access key and enrollment run for $ 40.
— Friendly staff. My interactions with them so far have been great! When I considered joining the gym, they answered the e-​mails and were helpful in person.
— Clean facilities. They supply sweat towels for you, and there’s about 3 stations that include hand sanitizer, paper towels, and solution for cleaning any used equipment. The bathrooms are extremely clean as well.
— Wide variety. Machines + free weights. For the most part, you should find what you’re looking for.
— 24 access (hence the earlier mentioned key card). Not only that, you get access to any location after 30 days.
— Lastly, it’s never that busy. The most people I’ve seen at this gym are probably around 6 – 7, and that was on a a Saturday at noon. Usually, there might be 2 people there maximum.
Negatives:
— Not much. When there are actually 6 – 7 people there, most of them are taking up the ellipticals/​treadmills/​etc. Only a negative if you’re one to use those.
— Nickleback plays over the gym stereo system. It’s happened. It was terrible.

The gym itself is not a problem. It is clean, the equipment is functional. Some of the treadmills have fuzzy static on the TV. Overall I liked working out here.
Gyms are notorious for having vague cancellation policies. This gym is not an exception. I think all Anytime Fitness locations are separately owned and operated.
I hesitate to write this review (they have my information on file and I am somewhat frightened by that fact), but I do so in an effort to either protect others from the same experience or illustrate to the managers how poor customer service can backfire in the age of Unilocal.
Asking me to adhere to a cancellation policy is fine, as long as an employee had not previously assured me that I would not have to do so. The policy is to send a physical letter of cancellation. They don’t cancel your membership in-​house. An employee said she could. She could not, she didn’t know she could not, and I suffered for it. A month later there was a big mess with the manager involved. He insisted the cancellation process be adhered to despite his employee’s error.
After some litigious discourse (the manager threatened legal action against my family), the matter is settled. I will not go back. The manager apologized for the inconvenience.
If you need to cancel, make sure you read the policy. The folks who work there will not be able to assist you.
I regrettably expect an angry, litigious email over this review will show up in my inbox. So long, Anytime Fitness. Good luck to you.

Not a trusthworthy company!!!
I signed up for a six months membership along with a friend. At the time of registration, my friend did not have a credit card so the person signing us up said I could add my card to his profile so he could create his membership since their system would not allow them to do it otherwise. She told me my card would be charged for both our keyfobs and I agreed but made sure more than twice my card would not be charged for my friend’s membership. She said: «no, it will not it’s just that I can’t create a membership without a credit card.» Prior to the first month being charged, I called anytime fitness’s manager and and spoke to the her to make sure once again my credit card was removed from my friend’s account. She said she had removed it and would contact him to get a new card and my card would only be charged for my own membership. I then took her word for it. But when I looked at my credit card statements two months later, I was surprised with double charges:
07/01/2012ABC*ANYTIME FITNESS 888−827−9262 MN $
07/​01/​2012 ABC*ANYTIME FITNESS 888−827−9262 MN $
06/01/2012ABC*ANYTIME FITNESS 888−827−9262 MN $
06/​01/​2012 ABC*ANYTIME FITNESS 888−827−9262 MN $
They are charging me for someone else’s membership as well. I requested that my credit card is removed from their system and my money refunded and complained to the BBB. Now they are disputing it with me instead of admitting what they did,
Also, they have invaded my privacy. I added an emergency contact to my profile. The manager of this facility called my emergency contact and left a message to someone else on my contact’s voicemail charging them for the membership. I find this business to be dishonest and I do not trust them with my information. I do not wish to do business with this kind of company. I asked for my membership to be cancelled and my money refunded. The manager sent em an email agreeing but now the owner is disputing it and threatening to send my info to collections. I had my card on file and was auto paying. The fact that they are liars and dishonest is the reason I do no want to do business with them anymore and who’s to say I have to?
I did my part!
The facility location was very convenient for me and I liked how it’s small and not so busy.
But instead of making amends and apologizing for their mistakes they’d rather be greedy and fight me when I was not the one in the wrong. They certainly have lost me and anyone I know as a customer.

Small but awesome gym. A TV on some machines, 2 on the wall. 2 Clean, good sized bathrooms/​showers. There is a tanning bed too, but I’ve ever used that. I come here at night, sometimes rarely during the day and its never SUPER busy. Maybe once I had to wait a few minutes to get a treadmill, but that was a long time ago.
I’d recommend this to anyone who was looking for a gym and didn’t feel comfortable in a big place like planet fitness.

Though this location is kind of small, it has all the necessary equipment needed to get in a good work out. It is clean, and they have tanning available for those UV junkies. What I really like about this location is their responsiveness to client needs. They have a corkboard where gymgoers can write down complaints, suggestions, or inquiries, and the staff is pretty quick with providing a response. Theyhave free weights, nautilus, treadmills, and a rowing machine (I don’t understand why more gyms don’t have rowing machines), and like the name says you can use it all at anytime.

I am amending my review because of the great customer service. Travis contacted me personally regarding the Groupon debacle and let me know that this was particular gym was not supposed to be part of the promotion and offered a free meal plan, awesome.
The pluses of the gym are the TV machines and free tanning (if you are into that sort of thing — a mystic tanning machine could sway my decision to actually get a membership) Also, posting the suggestions with feedback is a really good customer service gesture, and it makes the patron feel appreciated. I like that it is small and relatively empty, even though that might change soon. According to the latest update the price range is about ²⁵⁄₂₉.
I have a feeling this gym is gonna grow quickly once the resolutions hit in January, but hopefully the ²⁴⁄₇ access will help that. Even though I am still not sure about joining, the owner and staff are friendly, and it seems it will be a good place to workout at least for 3 months.
