Anytime Fitness

Out of the four AF locations I’ve been to in the area this was my least favorite. There are no benches or hooks in the bathrooms, which makes it awkward to change clothes or even shoes — no toilet lid either so you are left to sit on the bare seat or stand up. Also no coat rack so you have to roll up your coat and stuff in into one of the cubby holes. I also didn’t see many people cleaning the equipment and I agree it did not smell that great either. The only thing that was good about this place was there were a couple of pleasant staff members.

I’ve got to update my earlier review. I’ve been coming here for a few weeks now and it’s great. The owners are doing a great of keeping the place nice and clean, including the machines, floors, and bathrooms. Its never really that busy, but there would be enough room were it to be. Ita a great ATF! Check it out… you will be glad you did!

After trying out a couple of gyms in the area and not being satisfied, I am so happy I found Anytime! The gym is always clean, never a line for machines, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The machines are new and up to date. I can go in and have a great workout without feeling intimated like other places in the city. The staff is always there during posted hours and fixes any issues in a timely manner. The members are also friendly and respectful of each other. Book a training session with Eric, he’s the best! Very knowledgable.
I would not use any other gym in New Orleans, Anytime Fitness on Freret is the best of the best.

I joined this gym and they promised that I’d get the first month free, and they charged me anyway. I let it go because it seemed the manager was doing it to be kind, and it didn’t seem like they offered that special to anyone. When I was charged the first month, I emailed him and asked if he would just not charge me the 2^nd month and he said «sure» and I was charged anyway. The gym is hot, not very clean, and the people who use the machines are not very good about cleaning them off after use. All in all, I was just not impressed and was disappointed and have opted to cancel my membership. I’ve been trying to get in touch with them to cancel but no one returns my calls or my emails. I’m very unhappy with this location of Anytime Fitness.

I am a fan! I am actually rewriting my review as the first was written in a moment of rage due to being unable to access the facility based on computer issues that would not allow the door to unlock 3 days in a row at 5am. The owner was at the facility everyday at 5am after the incident apologizing to members and offered each of us an additional month of membership. Which I though was VERY respectful and a great move on their part.
The facility is family owned and run. After speaking with the owner, he explained the situation of billing, which has been incorrect numerous times, but apparently it is the fault of the national billing company. It sounds like they have sorted things out with the billing company and there should be no more issues.
I felt bad because in my previous review, I accused the young man who works at the facility in the afternoon of seeming «high». Poor kid is just really quiet, that was my poor assumption and hung my head and apologized to the owner, who is the father of this young man. The family is doing what they can to keep the facility up and members happy. Each request I have made has been honored. Such as repairing the water fountain as well as the door issues. They have been working really hard to make this one of the best gyms in NoLa. And this is very much appreciated.
The trainer there, Eric, is awesome as well. I would recommend signing up for one on one sessions with him. He is very helpful with all members and a very knowledgeable trainer overall.
There is always open equipment in the morning, which is great, it’s like a private gym some days. It gets a little crowded in the evening, but there is still room and equipment. They also have a spin bike, which is great! I think I may be one of the only people who use it, but it is a definite plus.
They have Iphone/​Ipod chargers on the walls, which have really come in handy. You can also change the TV channels and watch what you would like. The members here are really nice.
This gym really is one of the better gyms in NoLa. It is maintained well and clean. The family staff is very friendly and will bend over backwards for it’s members. You can add tanning to your membership for only $ 20 a month which is super cheap and great. You can cancel at any time for a small fee, but they don’t hassle you about canceling like most gyms do.
It seems like the family is doing everything they can to appease members and deliver them the best services. I may even keep my membership here… if they will have me. :-)

This gym should get 5 stars but it literally stinks. Either the carpet is rotting or something is terribly wrong, but there is an unfortunate and pervasive gamy aroma to the place.
The equipment is great and unlike most gyms in New Orleans, it’s not over-​subscribed so there’s no wait for machines. Fix the revolting stench and it’s a top-​notch spot.
