Anytime Fitness

Tucked away in Downtown. Super convenient location, knowledgable training staff and management. Friendly environment, will help you obtain your training goals.

I originally joined Anytime Fitness at a different location but started going to this one after I moved therefore my account was transferred here after going for a long time. This review isn’t necessarily about the gym itself but about the people who run it. I’ve been trying to cancel membership here for a month but have been unsuccessful. No one has ever answered the phone when I’ve called and the first time I stopped in to try and talk to someone there was no one working there even though the hours on the door said they were supposed to be staffed. I sent an email through their website that I never got a response to. The second time I went in I spoke to someone, he took down my name and phone number and said Aaron, the owner, would get back to me but he never did. I’m still getting charged for the membership that I’ve been trying to cancel. So unless you want to be a member here forever I wouldn’t suggest going at this location.

A month later and zero improvement. Consistently 1 of the 3 toilets is out of service. This morning I walked into the restroom to shower for work to find both feminine napkins and someone’s #2 hanging out in the un-​flushable toilet. I then stepped into the shower onto an Afro which was clogging the drain. Of course the shower head is still being held together with duct tape…

A little bit of a disappointment. As a travel junkie, I love Anytime Fitness as a whole, because I can find one in just about any city. This one, however, is not my favorite. It’s on the smaller side, which I wouldn’t mind if it had a few more key items. Any gym that only has one real squat rack (I’m not counting smith machines) is hardly a gym in my opinion. This one has a single squat rack — and last time I was there at least it was missing the bar! Kind of critical. Otherwise, they have an adequate selection of treadmills, free weights, and other cardio machines, and I’ve never seen it too crowded.
They do, however, have a little studio with plenty of mats and stability balls, which is great for stretching/​abs/​etc. They also offer some fitness classes, bootcamp, etc., though I have never had the chance to take one. They also offer parking passes to members so that you don’t have to pay for metered parking in downtown Minneapolis, which is definitely a perk!

When I signed up here, the person who helped me was very attentive and friendly. She gave me a great tour and helped me with a few machines. I’ve been going for about a year. A lot of times the machines are out of order which is frustrating. Its also cramped quarters compared to the other anytime gyms. Ultimately, its an OK place to workout and the location is great for me but when my contract is up I will be switching to somewhere else.

Before I joined this place my friend told me that he used to be a member and that when he tried to cancel his membership he wasn’t able to, and it became an enormous headache. I wish I had listened to him. I figured it was a fluke and didn’t heed his advice. Sure enough when I tried to cancel my membership it was impossible. I was charged for months and months after attempting to cancel and eventually had to file a claim with my bank and have them put a stop payment on my credit card so that the gym couldn’t extract anymore money from my account, even though they have continue to try! TRUST ME!!! If you ever want to cancel your membership, these guys will VANISH! SAVE YOURSELF!

My wife an I love the layout and look of this club. Other AF clubs have gaudy color schemes, but the use of the natural brick and neutral colors help it look great. The equipment is well maintained and up-​to-​date. We love using it. The provided parking is essential for our needs. The automated work out instruction is a very helpful addition. The only downsides for us is that the television stations are inconsistent from machine to machine and some of our favorites have gone missing. I would like to see a water bottle refill fixture added to the water fountain, and the staff are very difficult to contact personally, even during «staffed» hours. We leave messages and never hear back.

You know what I love about this gym the most? Well, there are a few things but primarily the location, the price, the simplicity, and the great equipment!
If you reside in the hip and cool North Loop/​Warehouse area of Minneapolis then I would consider getting a membership at this locally owned gym. This gym is owned & ran by one individual, his name is Nick and he is wonderful.
You are not however going to get «pampered» at this gym. What does this mean? Well for starters, bring your own towels if you need those. There are cubby’s to keep your belongings but there are no lockers and no locks. It’s just all about fitness at Anytime Fitness! I prefer going mid-​day to the gym, like most gyms, it’s pretty quiet. Around 5pm, as you can imagine like at any gym around the MPLS area, it’s busier. There are unisex restrooms (wahoo) with showers! You seriously can’t beat the location, the price, the equipment and the community aspect of this gym. Anytime Fitness is only going to get cooler just like the neighborhood it’s in! Go and check it out!

I bought a groupon for this place that included personal trainings and a month membership. I emailed the club twice via their site with no response. I then called Aaron (owner) and spoke to him once, he was leaving out of town so needed to get back to me a week later to schedule a time to come in. Since then I’ve been unable to get a hold of him. this is a double bad review for Groupon since they expect me to call the guy 3 times a day before they even refund me for the groupon!
Before joining, I’d recommend any test out Aaron’s responsiveness. My biggest concern would be responsiveness if you have an issue or wanted to cancel down the line…

I had a membership at the old location, and just got back from the new one. Wow.
The facility is nice and clean. The equipment is new (and even lets you watch movies/​tv while you work out, which is pretty cool.) The staff is friendly and helpful. And the scenery is pretty good too. ;-D
I don’t like the membership fee, but it’s pretty comparable to the other fitness centers in the area. And this one has way nicer equipment and facility, so I suppose it’s worth it.

I guarantee this is the nicest fitness center Anytime offers in the state. All new in the warehouse district of MInneapolis located inbetween Runyons and Sex World.
LOTS of brand new, state of the art Treadmills, Elliptical Cross-​Trainers, Exercise Cycles, Stair Climbers, Treadclimbers, AMT cross trainers, weights, and much much more. Classes galore that you can view on a touch screen computer. private bathrooms/​showers, tvs, stereo. and an ultra chic and modern gym make this a top pick for your money. Once you go here i guarantee you will ditch your standby fitness center
