Anytime Fitness

There are definitely upsides to this place (the security, the hours, the newer cardio equipment, and the two squat racks for a small place). However I was definitely ready to bounce when my contract was up.
For one thing, strength training equipment was always strewn everywhere. That is partly standard shitty gym etiquette, but also they had lots of random bits of equipment (like 3 random weight kettlebells) that actually had no place to actually live.
And, again, the gym had 3 kettlebells. Total.
I also generally went outside of staffed hours and, dude, when there are only like 8 people and it is super quiet, annoying people are even more annoying. Leave your shitty music blaring on your phone and walk away? Get on the treadmill right next to me and have a loud angry phone conversation right in my ear? Do random crossfit type stuff wrong, just between equipment because there is no other place? Blare random crap on the TV (or, more often, it was just set to blare with no remote in sight)? Check, check, check, check.
And no guests were allowed. For $ 40 a month that is ridiculous, every budget gym $ 19.99 membership includes that.
I thought I would miss this when I went back to a big chain gym (for half the price), having to fight for parking, not being able to touch the squat rack (and the cables are dicey), and keep an eye on my stuff. I don’t. Especially because the last time I went back to workout, they had shut off my key early and I was left shivering in the cold and SOOL. No, no one will let you in, because they could have their memberships cancelled for it, and because random weird people will stand in front of the window and make faces at you (awkward).

Anytime Fitness in Manchester is an awesome gym. It’s open ²⁴⁄₇ to members, and all the equipment is like new. The free weights area is small but well stocked with plenty of dumbbells, two squat racks that can double as bench presses, and a variety of other equipment. The atmosphere is really friendly, it’s never crowded, and the employees are extremely helpful. If you’re looking for a gym in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by!

I am totally blown away by this place! I’m just visiting from Las Vegas, and I love that I can come anytime and do a virtual fitness class. I have never seen anything like it! Plus, the gym is clean, open, well designed, and the equipment is ultra high-​tech. I would definitely recommend anyone give this place a look!

Great clean atmosphere with new equipment. The place is never crowded and it draws the right people vs. a typical gym.

Brand new gym (as of a few months now), still has that new gym smell lol. All new precor branded machines. All the cardio equipment has priva. AWESOME.
The owners name is Sean. Extremely nice guy. Every time I walk in he’s immediately smiling and asking how I’m doing. His wife is also an awesome person and she tends to be there helping out a lot.
I’ve been a member of ATF for three years now… Glastonbury used to be my home gym… Now Manchester is… Haven’t used glastonbury since this one opened
Prices for ATF are steep… But then again the higher price point and contracts tend to weed out the POS people so not only is the gym not half as busy as any other gym. But you feel more comfortable to set your phone down. Or jacket with keys and a wallet and know they’ll still be where you put them upon returning.

Absolutely love this gym! I love the fact that I can go anytime, that it has all the equipment you need, virtual classes, is clean, and never too busy. And Michelle is great! Give it a try!
