Anytime Fitness

The one star is a gift because there was no option for zero stars. Good luck expecting them to honor their contract. They raised my monthly fee without my knowledge or consent even though my contract states no increase after 11 months. Went to cancel in person and they never submitted my cancellation to the firm who does automatic withdrawals. Smarmy! Avoid them!

This a clean and brand new beautiful gym. The staff is very friendly and helpful everyone was very knowledgeable. The owner and manager are wonderful, friendly and looked very fit like this is their passion. I love this gym and I am now a member. Our community loves this facility and the owner and family. Great price and worth every penny!

I held off reviewing Anytime Fitness until I had actually been there long enough to both commit to health, and form a true opinion of the gym and the staff that I work with. I then came to Unilocal this weekend to post a review and I saw a negative one. I was shocked and my experience is not consistent with that at all; and many other members seem to share my viewpoint. Below is my detailed review–
Location and Hours:
Perfect for our rural community and easily accessible. It’s always open and I never find it difficult to get an open machine, floor space, or shower. It isn’t always staffed but someone is usually there until 7 or 8pm in the evenings which is nice for the after-​work crowd who may need extra help or have questions.
Staff:
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. I was terrified walking in the door for the first time in January as an extremely overweight person with a long road ahead of me. The gym is family owned and managed. Both the owner and manager have been caring and helpful and always work to make people feel welcome and comfortable. This has been the case with me and with others I have witnessed with working out. I also pay for personal training, which is separate from regular gym membership. I am able to work one-​on-​one with a trainer (the gym manager) and make progress that I can’t make on my own on a treadmill. Again, working one-​on-​one with someone who is physically fit can be scary but I am always made to feel comfortable. My trainer is caring, professional, accessible, encouraging, and pushes me to do things I could not dream of doing six months ago. Even the other gym trainers with whom I don’t work always encourage me and ask how my exercise and weight loss are going.
Pricing:
Both the monthly fees and personal training prices are far more reasonable than any gym within 40 miles of our town.
Tanning is also far more reasonable than any tanning salon nearby.
Gym Set Up and Cleanliness:
Ok, the last place that I want to sweat in is a place that is already unclean. This is NOT the case with Anytime. The floors, equipment, tanning bed, and bathrooms/​showers are always clean. Trust me, I look. With such a small staff I am always please about how clean and organized the gym is. I looked at quite a few facilities in Fluvanna and Charlottesville and many were not nearly as clean as Anytime.
The space is somewhat small, but they have done really well with the space they have. There are ample cardio machines and weight equipment and it is set up to give us the most usable space possible.
I’m very happy I decided to join and have stuck with it. I would recommend the gym to anyone and plan to stay with them for the long haul!
