They make it impossible to cancel memberships. I've heard from multiple people that they had the same experience as us. You tell them not to renew, but somehow they keep withdrawing the fee every month. Then have to spend hours making calls, filling out paper work, stopping in to get refunds and cancelation confirmation. Not worth the hassle.

I have been to both Anytime Fitness locations in Sioux Falls in an attempt to sign up for a membership, I don't know how they stay in business, because I have YET to find a staff member who is actually there during their "staffed" hours. I contacted them when I came and the sign said someone would not be there for the next 3 hours and expressed my outrage. They invited me to come in and meet with a manager to "make things right." I tried that location TWICE for said meeting, and guess what? There were never any staff there! Mind you, this is in the middle of their POSTED "staffed" hours. So I decided to try this location, and wouldn't you know... there was no staff there. I am convinced that the staff at both locations are imaginary. If you have a contract you can't get out of, you could probably sell it on the black market to people who are trying to get a membership but can't because no staff will sign them up! Ridiculous. Especially in a market like Sioux Falls where there are plenty of other options, they should be very cognizant of the customer service they provide.

I'm a runner, training for my first marathon. So during the winter I need a treadmill for my 8-20 mile runs, or just an eliptical for 1.5 hours but I always feel rushed. I didn't see a mat to stretch on or sweat towels. It really is a box of a gym, very basic, 2 single person bathrooms, 2 tanning beds, the manager will try and say it's a good price ($30-39 depending on the deal), but compared to another gym it's 3x the price for a cramped, somewhat hot (dripping in my dri-fit brooks shirt after an hour), without a proper locker room. Meh.

Remember to bring your own towel.
