Anytime Fitness

I became a member of this very small and unequipped gym for approximately four months merely because it was the closest gym to my house. From the start I could tell I made a big mistake. There is absolutely no air circulation in the entire place! There is an old dingy fan that works on a timer and only stays on for 10 minutes at a time and does absolutely nothing to circulate air. I have never been more sick in my entire life than since joining this gym! I have had two physicians tell me they are adamant I am becoming ill due to the lack of air circulation in this place and have compared it to a petri dish! During the last month 4 out of 6 machines are missing the magazine holder. When I asked the gal if they could provide me with an extra one she said I doubt it as we keep extra supplies in a storage closet and I don’t think we have any. Seriously? Another major flaw is the lack of locker rooms. You have to change in a bathroom next to a toilet and hope someone doesn’t need to use it while you’re trying to quickly change! It is extremely unsanitary to say the least! To add insult to injury this place is a total rip off! They charged me $ 46 per month and that was a SPECIAL! Did I mention there are hardly any classes either?! If you’re considering joining a clean gym with proper air circulation and locker rooms (isn’t that a given?) I would recommend City Sports for $ 32 per month AND they have a pool and lots of classes. I only gave this place two stars because the manager Dacie is very sweet but that is where it ends. Thankfully I have cancelled my membership and looking forward to having better health!

This place is great from top to bottom. Don’t be put off by the small-​ish size-it’s tailored to their membership level, and you will be able to use your desired equipment and area without things feeling cramped. There’s a level of accountability here that other gyms don’t have, and extraordinary convenience. This is literally THE ONLY 24 hour gym in town (24 Hour Fitness is actually closed part of the night), is affordable, and has a great staff. In particular, Jon Sargent is the man you want to see if you need training-​his professionalism, knowledge, and kindness have helped many members achieve their goals.

i went in for the 1 week trial, i was told i had to sign up to get the special deal but was told i could cancel the 1^st week without obligation. the few machines didn’t fit me, the personal fitness was going to be $ 250 for 1x week and up +$ 64/​month fee. the personal trainer/​sales guy was a dick, i asked to get someone to show me the machines, all i got was a sales pitch/​close for the «free personal fitness appointment» and when i came in to return there electronic key before weeks end, i was told i am already committed and paid for it from the girl-​bad business practices here,

I really liked working out here. The staff are extremely friendly, it’s very clean and i like the «anytime» convienence. Only reason i left is because it is very small and limited cardio equipment. i felt that didn’t justify the 50/​mo I was paying. But it is a really nice place

Extremely tiny location. Very limited equipment. Charging $ 64 a month where I would expect less than 20 given the lack of amenities. Not a suitable gym if you want to workout.
Edit– all the positive reviews just seem planted. This is literally the most under-​equipped gym I’ve ever set foot in (I’ve been to numerous all across the western part of the country) and for $ 64 a month it’s really just a rip off.

If you’re looking for a casual social club, this isn’t it! On the other hand, if like me you prefer a real gym where people come to get results, and become healthier, physically fit and challenged to do their best, then this IS the place! I have been training at Anytime here in Petaluma with trainer Mark Leiker for aprox 4 ½ months now, and can honestly say the results have been amazing. It’s important to note, that I mean that statement not just because of the positive changes in my body. It has also had an amazing effect on me mentally as well. Stress relief, being more focused and in general and overall confidence in myself I didn’t think possible! This week I also found out from my dr, that my previously bad cholesterol number was cut down by over 70 points! This as a direct result of the work I’ve been doing at Anytime. To end I’ll simply say, in case this all sounds too good to be true, or that the gym is somehow paying to say all these great things, you’d be dead wrong on both counts.

This is a great gym. I joined when they had a special to join for $ 8 last year. That’s what drew me in really, just a cheap price. I generally try to avoid busy times so was definitely into the idea of being able to come to the gym at 3am to avoid people. I haven’t done that. Yet. The staff here is top notch, everyone is friendly, helpful and professional in my experience. I did sign up for some personal training here as well with Jon Sargent, who was great-​full of positivity, motivation and humor. They have a free bootcamp every Saturday at 10am which I try to attend when I can, it’s fun and challenging. Definitely recommend stopping by to check it out!

This place is GREAT! The atmosphere is encouraging and fun, the building itself is pleasantly decorated and nice to be in (AND doesn’t feel like a fishbowl or a zoo, where you’re on working out simply to show all the other people in town you’re working out). Plus, all the staff is incredibly friendly and non-​judgmental – very important for someone who has always been really gym-​shy.
Even better than that, Anytime is super active in the community (pun totally intended). I recently went to their free outdoor community boot camp workout, held every Saturday morning, and I was blown away by how intense it was – but also how doable, due to the trainers’ tireless encouragement and support (even of someone as out of shape as I am!). Jon in particular is a great trainer, and knows how to make even the hardest moments of the workout fun, and how to push you to keep going harder, longer.

This gym is great! All the staff are super nice and very helpful! The owner Ben is very flexible and nice as well! It’s always kept up with the matinance and cleaning! Everyone that is a member of the gym are all nice. This gym is over all just very good and it’s not expensive!

I love this Anytime Fitness location!
The atmosphere is very relaxed and the employees are very helpful and really make you feel like you’re part of the gym.
It is smaller than most gyms, but it has all I need, free weights, TRX system and cardio options.
I also really love how «crowded» here means at most 6 people in the mornings!

I love this gym the management is great and friendly. The place is always kept clean including the machines. I can always get in and get my workout done without waiting for machines. Everybody is friendly and no bad attitudes great gym love it thanks Ben, John, Paul and all the trainers.

I’ve been a member since they opened in Petaluma and I love this gym! I love being able to go whenever I want, rarely do I have to wait on a machine and it’s always neat and clean. The managers are always pleasant and helpful and parking is never a problem. My only wish is that they would get another rowing machine. That’s the only machine I have ever had to wait for but it’s not often enough to be a problem. It’s so much better than any other gym I’ve belonged to. They have really great personal trainers and classes to take advantage of as well. All the equipment is top-​notch and well maintained. All around great gym to belong to!

I left 24 hour because of how many people went there and am worried about telling anyone about anytime because I’m sure if I told them how great it is they’d all come and I’d have to leave because of overcrowding again. Oh the troubles I have. This is a great gym and it’s always easy to get a work out in. There is never a «max capacity» feel when I go and they have every machine needed to get the work out I want.

What a great neighborhood gym! Yes, the sq. feet is less than expected for a «standard gym» but the facility is almost never busy for you to complete your full routine. It’s available 24 hours, so pick a time that works and badge in at the door.
Beyond free weights and standard machines the gym has other creative equipment that encourages you to mix it up (both weight, cardio, circuit). The entire management is very friendly and helpful and the community is a great variety of people all working towards personal fitness goals without any showmanship behavior.
Take advantage of the 1 or 2 week trail pass (find it online) and check it out at your own pace without any pushy gym membership tactics.

I signed up here originally on a 2-​week free trial offer through facebook back in September ’13. What first attracted me here was the fact it is the only true 24-​hour gym in Petaluma, secondly it’s less than a half mile from my house and third reason is you have access to all the other A.F. clubs, which are almost everywhere so if you traveling you can take your workout with you!
I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about at first because it is smaller than most gyms, but it has all the equipment you’ll need to achieve a great workout. It is also very CLEAN.
What may turn some people off is it doesn’t have locker rooms, pools or saunas. For me that stuff seems more appropriate if you’re looking for a social club. It has a shower and restrooms that are always clean/​maintained and that is enough for me. Comparing to other gyms in town without naming names, I have also been a member of the other ’24-​hour’ gym, and also the largest, most expensive ‘club’ on the north end of town, and I still like A.F. the best.
You won’t find people hanging around on the benches or machines wasting time, in fact actually every member I have come in contact with has been rather polite whether they were asking if I was using a machine next to me, if I minded they change the t.v. channel or even what kind of shoes I am wearing (lol).
Due to my work schedule, I workout at night during the non-​staffed hours and to me it has a feel of my own personal gym in that you dont need to walk across the building to get to your next station if you’re adhering to a specific plan. The staff also let me know that you can plug your mp3 player into their dock system and blast your own music in the training room or the machine room, when nobody is around.
Lastly you also get a membership to the anytimehealth website which is cool if you want to track your progress online, the staff here will help you get your measurements done if needed.

A perfect gym for all types of gym-​goers. It’s convenient — since it’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week you can’t beat those hours! Anytime Fitness may not be the biggest gym, but it has top-​notch equipment — from cardio equipment, to strength equipment, and free-​weights. They even have a room where you can do functional training! (Tire flips, etc) It’s always clean, never too busy, and most importantly, their staff is personable. Most times you go to a big gym and you’re dealing with random staff who don’t know who you are and even worse… they don’t care about you. This is NOT the case at Anytime Fitness in Petaluma! I’ve even met the owner, Ben — and he’s genuinely engaged with all of his members. Hard to find that anywhere else.
I had the option to try other gyms and I must say… Anytime Fitness has my business because of the convenience, wonderful environment, and great staff.
Kudos Anytime, kudos.

Its my local gym, its always clean, never too crowded, the staff is hella friendly and they have all the free weights and machines I like to use so for me its a win!

Definitely the best and cleanest gym in petaluma. I signed up for just a month since they don’t have babysitting service:(this would be my first pick otherwise.

Anytime Fitness is Petaluma is a high quality gym in all aspects of the business. It is always very clean (almost obsessively) as there are workers consistently wiping down equipment, sweeping and doing spot cleaning. Their equipment appears brand new, no cracking of the fabric on the seats or benches, high quality weights and bar bells with no rusting or chipping. They have a wide array of equipment without making it appear crowded. They even have a separate room for yoga/​plyometric/​stretching etc. I have never seen this gym crowded. I use the gym Monday-​Wednesday afternoons and most of the time I have the whole gym to myself.
When you sign up for a membership, very reasonably priced at $ 40 a month, they give your own personal state-​of-​the-​art security key-​fob that will gain you access to all Anytime Fitness locations throughout the country. They have security cameras that monitor the gym ²⁴⁄₇ offering extra security, particularly for at night when there may not be any workers present.
Not sure where the complaints about customer service came from. When I first entered their facility to inquire about a membership, Jon (one of the owners) noticed me standing in the lobby from across the gym and interrupted his own conversation to greet me and assist me just moments later. These guys know most of the members by name and they do everything to make you actually feel like a member (free t-​shirts, boot-​camps, 80’s nights and a complimentary personal training session). Any gripes about this place probably come from the the privileged types that are never satisfied with anything.
Awesome!

My wife and I joined Anytime Fitness in Rohnert Park when they opened in 2010, and have been continually impressed by the simplicity. I’m happy that they have opened another facility in Petaluma.
Having this additional/​new location makes it very convenient for me, as a commuter from Rohnert Park to Larkspur every day, to be able to stop off on they way home and get in a great workout in a nice/​clean facility! Parking is never an issue, due to tons of reserved spaces. It is in a very convenient location — almost right off hwy 101; it’s on your way into town if you are coming from the south on Lakeville Hwy; and being at the south end of Casa Grande Rd and McDowell Blvd makes it EASILY accessible for all of the south side of Petaluma east of 101.
Having it be 24 hour access is a huge plus. You can come and go as you need to depending on your schedule — even in the middle of the night!
I have current memberships to Anytime Fitness as well as 24 Hour Fitness, and 90% of my time in the gym is spent at Anytime Fitness because of the people and facility. I cannot stand having to wait for equipment, or to be in an overcrowded gym. You won’t get that at Anytime Fitness!
The membership pricing is a great value and the location in Petaluma is outstanding!!! I’ve been to several of the gyms in Petaluma and historically been a member at a few. Anytime Fitness takes the cake! The gym is always VERY CLEAN, which can’t be said about most of the other gyms in Petaluma.
No, there isn’t a pool, and no, they don’t have daycare; but they have great classes, clean facility, state of the art equipment, and the best people around! When it comes down to it, do you really need a pool and daycare? I know some truly do, but my wife and I are just like most people with two young kids — historically we used to think that we «absolutely had to have» a gym with daycare and really wanted pool access. What we found in all actuality is that my wife and I have very different schedules and rarely work out together, so the daycare wasn’t necessity — used a few times a year. The pool, well let’s just say I used it once or twice in about two years, when I thought it would be used all the time.
