Anytime Fitness
Reviews
Good environment and not too crowded. Friendly employees and ample parking. No major complaints aside from no stairmaster!! -- A bit expensive. I signed up for a 12 month commitment and they committed me to 14 months.
I've had nothing but good experiences at Anytime Fitness, the atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and comfortable. Everybody's just doing their own thing! The staff is friendly and helpful, always saying hello and good night, have a nice weekend.... And, if you have a question or a billing issue they're there to help. They've even been known to wave late fees! That's a plus in my book!! It's clean and it's 24 hours! I'd hate to have to work out anywhere else.
I have been going to thei gym for about two years. I am pretty ambivalent about the place. The main bonuses for are the 24/7 access and proximity to my home. There are some other perks, but, if you have options, or don't need 24/7 access, I would suggest shopping around. I don't think I'm going to stop going or change, but I have been on the fence the whole time. If I were to move, even a few miles, or some other lifestyle change, I would peace out from Anytime. The pros.. 24/7 access is awesome. I have seen few other gyms in Cleveland offer it. The place is pretty chill. I'm not a hard body, but I have never felt unwelcome for being so. It really seems like a place where anyone can go and work out at their level. It is not a huge space, but I've never noticed bottlenecks or long waits for machines or the like. They keep it clean and staff is friendly albeit not engaged, which I like, but maybe some folks want a bit banter. The cons.. Entire place seems to have a certain laissez-faire feel about it. Recently, the Wifi went down for went seemed to be two weeks and there was no info sent out to members or a poster or the like put up. It was kind of funny as I was working out one morning when the guy came from Time Warner to fix it and he could not get in because there were no staff. I bet that is the first time you have ever heard of someone missing the cable guy's four hour window! There seems to have been a perpetual leak in the ceiling tiles above the situp machine for years and their solution is a bucket. It is a clean space, but it seems like there is not much initiative to do more. You will call because your fob didn't work (even though you have been paying) and get no answer. The staffed hours feel more like guidelines. Staff don't always wear "Anytime" shirts/gear so it can be tricky to spot them unless you see them poking in and out of the office. You'll email and it will take two to three days to get a response. It is in an old Hollywood Video and it sure does still feel like that. Payment is seamless, but the few times I have had issues (Mostly because my hyphenated last name drives databases crazy) they have sure been prompt with the phone calls and check ins. If they applied that same energy to fixing that leak, we would be set! I pay 40 bucks a month for the place and that is a lot of money for a utilitarian experience. Not bad, but nothing to fist pump in the air about while on the treadmill.
nothing special about anytime fitness in general. the staff is nice only when you can ever get ahold of them. but you pay way too much for too little to do.
Friendly, relaxed, community type environment. Very clean establishment and not crowded like a Planet Fitness or a Fitness 19. I tried out both of those but they were way too busy and the staff didn't care whether you existed or not. Anytime is the place for me!
