Workout Anytime
Reviews
The owners of Workout Anytime, Mr. and Mrs. Fenn, made me feel at home during my time here. It just felt like I was at a gym owned by a friend. They have excellent facilities for a quality workout and they have helped me reach significant goals in my competitive running career. I left because of relocation, but I would recommend this gym to anyone. Truly one of the hidden gems of Cary.
My husband and I joined here last year for a mere 4 months... The gym is very clean and the flexibility of the schedule is nice. The price is right. The core area is extremely cramped and small with enough room for about 2 people comfortably max, but hey they have a big room for a tanning bed and massage machine! We had a bad experience with billing, however. When we joined we had the signup fee and the monthly fee explained to us. I asked if those were the ONLY fees very specifically, because gyms do typically have hidden fees of some sort and I wanted to BE SURE before signing on the dotted line. The front desk employee looked me in the eyes and assured me no. We then "signed" our contract on a credit card type pad and did not get to look it over or see a printed copy beforehand. It was emailed to us later that night, so it was out of sight and out of mind. We then about a month or two later had an extra charge in our account and called to ask about it. Oh, the owner said, that is our rate guarantee fee. It assures that you will lock in your rate and is charged once a year. Ok, so first of all I specifically was told there were no other fees and was told no (he said I surely must have been mistaken). Second of all, if it is charged once a year to guarantee a rate it should be charged a the year mark. You know, to ACTUALLY guarantee the rate for the next year. The owner would not refund the menial fee to us, basically ended our positive relationship right then and there. We left the gym that month. On an ending note, the owner is nice, but gave me very uncomfortable vibes when he came up to me 4-5 times on separate occasions and corrected my form while lifting without being asked. He didn't seem to do it to other people, which made me annoyed and uneasy. He even once said "You can go harder than that!" while I was in the core area trying my very best and actually working out hard- not cool. I stopped coming during hours he was typically there after that because I don't really enjoy confrontation. So I just started avoided the gym altogether. I see that many people have had a wonderful experience here and it actually is a nice place to work out. We just had a bad time and it was probably just unfortunate circumstance. Just be aware of the things I outlined above and you should be just fine. :)
Gym is alright, staff is friendly but the moment I had to cancel my membership because of an out of town move, I was charged all sorts of money. The day I signed up, it was clearly said to me that they wouldn't charge for any cancellation fees. This was not honored and instead, they blamed an employee who no longer works here for that. I'm not sure why I have to pay for previous staff mistakes, but somehow I did. After that, they charged $20 for not returning my little barcode keychain piece of plastic that people usually give away for free. Again, yet another terrible business practice. What I'm trying to say is, if you want to work out in this area, consider other options, and don't trust the staff's information. They obviously don't care if the employee gave out wrong information, because, hey, it's up to me to find out in the future...surprise!!!
I've been going to this gym for almost a year now. It's clean, they have all the proper free-weights and machines you need to do any workout. They are friendly and the staff is professional. For the price, they are definitely the best Gym in the Neighborhood.
I joined this gym little over a year. Great Gym, Good for late night workouts, Boot Camps, constant workout programs, Reasonable monthly membership, Very Clean, Eye Candy, and a solid staff. (I go to Frank for everything.) Overall a great gym!!!
