Anytime Fitness

Also a long overdue review for this awesome gym! The best parts about AF I would say are the staff, the quality of equipment, and the cleanliness. The staff and overall vibe at this gym is super fun, they write quotes on the board, always greet you with hellos and goodbyes, and it’s just like being greeted by your Fremont family in way. So, they are awesome.
Secondly this gym is SO clean. there are spray bottles everywhere for people to use on equipment when they’re finished, and it even smells good in there, which is hard for a gym to achieve. I really appreciate the cleanliness.
Also the equipment is awesome, it is brand spanking new and I don’t know of any equipment that is better.
The only reason I didn’t give this gym a 5 is because I am a big fan of the group fitness classes and they are just not quite developed at this gym. They do have several classes, but unfortunately to no fault of their own their gym is not super big and it’s limiting for fitness classes. However, they do work with what they have and their options are still good, just not as good as a gym with a huge studio and developed classes.
Thanks for everything AF!

Fantastic gym that has the perfect balance of size and options for cardio, lifting, and a space for classes and stretching. It’s always really clean and is surround by floor to ceiling windows that let in lots of great light. And Sean, the owner, is an incredible guy that is 100% customer oriented. Also, it’s right next to the heart of Fremont so lots of great options for food after afterward or a walk along the shipping canal to relax and mellow out. Honestly this couldn’t be a better place to come work out.

A long overdue review for my stellar gym, due in no small part to the lively gregarious Sean and his ever-​helpful staff. The place is clean, hip, brightly lit and couldn’t be in a better location.
I have to admit, I’ve been a high maintenance patron due to circumstance, joining freezing joining and freezing again, rinse/​repeat. And despite all that, Sean’s been wonderfully understanding and accommodating.
I’ve since moved quite a bit farther away and still this is my go-​to, that should say something! No complaints at all — these guys rock!

Gave it a whirl and thought it was pretty good for the price. Very friendly staff and they seemed very knowledgable.

I was on a night owl schedule and this gym was perfect for me. No longer and member but I miss going. Sean the owner is friendly and a good guy. I would join one of there gyms again as they have many locations nationwide.

I have been a member since 2008. Fremont Anytime fitness is great! Sean, Stefani & Marissa (and Aspen the dog) are really helpful. The place is alway clean and up to date. Wide variety of machines, cables & free weights. They have a ton of cardio machines facing 34^th. Group classes, Trainers Lisa, Jay & Heather know thier stuff! Free parking

I love this gym! It is easy to get to, nice parking garage situation, the staff is friendly and the gym is clean!

I think pricing for the gym is absurdly high for the very few amenities it has. LA Fitness in Ballard offers way more in terms of the facility but unfortunately is not 24 hours. So this is where Anytime wins out. They similarly have a national foot print but I can workout whenever I please which is great because I work long hours. The Freemont site is clean, not terribly crowded when I go around 8−9PM. Just be aware the place is pretty small so there aren’t a ton of different machines available.

Great gym with great customer service. Sean and his employees have shown experienced knowledge and with positive non judgemental vibes that would allow anyone to feel comfortable no matter where they are at!
There was a time when I became behind on payments and Sean made it very easy and communicated quite swiftly in order to resolve the conundrum. For a Seattle gym, this place does not come across as overpacked, in fact I would rate it as one of the better gyms I’ve been too across the mainland.

I did a free trial here. Sean and the team were GREAT. Got me set up quickly, easily, with everything explained. I knew Sean for probably about 20 minutes, and I felt like he was very competent businessman and fitness instructor. I would have loved to be trained by him, and that says a lot since I’ve trained myself all my life and am VERY wary of all fitness professionals because they usually make such horrible recommendations (this is a lifelong and well-​read athelete, scientist and final year medical student speaking).
Pros:
1) Vibe — love the purple colors and the layout
2) Machines — they all work and work well, good quality, clean
3) Private bathrooms — great to bring my stuffs for showering before or after work
4) Location — walkable
5) Easy parking below in the building for members
Cons:
1) The cleaners they use here smell SERIOUSLY chemically and quite bad. It’s an odd smell that permeates the place. I consider myself sensitive to chemical smells, and I really didn’t like the odor here at all. This was a problem. I mean, you’re breathing this in all the time at the hour+ you’re in the gym.
2) For me, price; but VERY affordable for most people not on a med school budget.
The only reason I didn’t end up joining Anytime is because of my schedule, which changes FREQUENTLY. I am a member of a small LA Fitness near my house, which I pay basically nothing for, but I wanted another gym in the city and close to work. Even though I didn’t become a member, I loved my free trial, and these guys deserve a glowing review.

I LOVE this gym.
The staff is great. It has all my favorite equipment. Even at peak times, it’s never crowded. It is always spotless. I love that, as a member, I had 24 hour access to the gym.
Almost all of the cardio machines have entertainment, cable plus on-​demand music videos and shows.
It’s the best!

The Anytime Fitness is awesome helping and all time it survived good knowledge and solution I love the place, all trainers are super friendly and experience-​able. Good atmosphere and good decoration and price are reasonable. I would recommend everyone try it out.

Before I talk about the great facility, I have to start with the great staff. They have been amazing from the start. There were a couple other gyms I toured in the area before stopping by Anytime Fitness. Sean and Aspen greeted me at the door. He’s probably one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. Sean was pumped to show me around the facility and mention the benefits of being a member (i.e. dedicated parking, 24 hour access, multiple locations, shower, etc). He’s well rounded not only on the business side, but in health and fitness as well. I’ve been at a good number of gyms but always felt like the staff was giving me a sales pitch. This was not the case. We sat down and exchanged tips on workouts, nutrition, etc.
It’s nice to have 24 hour access to the gym since my schedule can be a bit crazy sometimes. One of my biggest things was having a CLEAN facility (ESPECIALLY the bathroom/​shower) in the gym. Of course I signed up! The location is great. The facilities are clean and new. Staff and guests are awesome. I really can’t ask for more!
Keep up the great work guys!

This gym is nothing but amazing! Sean, Stefinie and the rest of the staff are always so incredibly kind, keep the gym clean, are encouraging and accommodating to their members needs!
If you are looking for a gym that people of all shapes, sizes and ages can sweat their butts off in and feel comfortable this is THE GYM for you!

I had the 14 day trial through Unilocal.It’s a solid gym. One squat rack + 2 power racks. Benching must be done in the racks. You’re apart of a business complex so deadlifts must be done on squishy pads to nullify sound. They have fractional plates (½#, ¾#, 1#) which is nice. No hack squat or hammer strength equipment but overall nice.

There are a lot of great things to say about this place, and they’ve pretty much already been said in previous reviews. I’ve been in a lot of gyms around the country, and Anytime Fitness has by far the best staff, and makes great use of the space they have. Definitely a great place to work out.

My experience with Anytime Fitness has been not only poor, but extremely absurd. I started my membership with them a year ago and ended it shortly after several months once I was singled out and treated unfairly by the manager of the gym (I believe his name was Sean). The first «complaint» I received was an email from him talking about noise levels, apparently the neighboring business downstairs were having issues with members dropping weights too heavy. At this point, I did not know I was being singled out. I would always use two foam pads on the floor when I am doing deadlifts (which is the only time I ever have weights on the ground). I disregarded the email. After another month or two, I receive another email from Sean talking about body odor surrounding the gym. I thought this was a very strange notice to send to members of a gym (considering people don’t go to gyms because they smell like a garden). I didn’t think anything of the email, until Sean personally called me himself shortly after the email was sent saying that the complaint was directed to me. Aside from embarrassment, I was completely dumbfounded that I would be receiving a phone call like this. He attempted to suggest different clothes detergents (which I scoffed at immediately and took this whole conversation as an insult). With the series of events that has happened in the hands of this manager, I concluded that this guy had it out for me. I canceled my membership the day of the phone call, which he did as if he was waiting for me to cancel. It’s a shame that this happened, considering that I actually enjoyed the gym and the 24-​hour availability, but to be treated like this for no reason at all is the clear reason why I can never recommend Anytime Fitness to anyone. There are better options to go.

I continue to love it here. The business model is obviously great, allowing one to schedule gym time according to one’s needs and availability. It’s a small gym, but strong and earnest. I go to a separate facility for a number of group fitness classes and recently had a bad experience there with another member. At Anytime Fitness the members err on the side of quiet diligence, friendly self-​focus, and an understanding of sharing the space. I feel safe there, the owner is above and beyond the best businessperson with whom I have ever engaged. It is always clean, accessible, and well-​equipped. Can I also mention again how incredible management is?
This is a great community gym that is building a great community.
Thank you for that, AF Fremont!

I can’t express how much I MISS this gym. Every time I see it, its like walking away from a bad regret in life. Since then I’ve hopped to two other gyms because I moved so logistics got in the way. NOTHING compares to this gym. In hopes that they open a downtown location one day, I will definitely come back. The management is great, its clean, the equipment is periodically replaced if things get too worn. If things go missing, they are quickly replaced. The owner always sets a great example by reorganizing the equipment so it looks nice. As a result, people at the gym always clean up after themselves and put their equipment away.
At my new gym (s), its hard to find a cleaning bottle, its gross to use the yoga mats, there is not enough space to stretch, the equipment is always full with people sitting and texting and not even taking their work out seriously.. Anytime Fitness just has it all + the right crowd. I really miss it.

I’ve had a great experience here and I’m sad to go but it’s only because I’ve moved a significant distance away.
Sean and his team are really lovely people who care about your personal health and fitness without being judgmental. Other gym members are respectful and are there to workout with minimal fuss. Equipment is high-​end and always in perfect working order. Great location for ²⁴⁄₇ access.
This is what a gym experience should. No BS with sign-​up or cancellation, helpful people, and an invite atmosphere to break a sweat.
