12/17/2023 0 Comments Anytime fitness![]() The facility was large, but is oddly laid-out. ![]() I checked out this Anytime two weeks ago, since as an Anytime member you have access to other facilities. When I’m alone I usually just bring my stuff with to my machine instead of leaving it in those cubbies right next to the door. I’ve never felt unsafe there before but it can be creepy being there alone at night (or worse, with just one other creepy, weightlifting dude), but I’ve never had anyone even speak to me, let alone do anything that made me uncomfortable. I now wipe machines down before and after I use them because I never see anyone else do it. There are certainly polite members, I’m sure. The one thing that kind of sucks is the clientele. The bathrooms are usually clean but are laid out weird (showers and toliets all in one lockable room) but I’ve never actually seen anyone shower here so I’ve never had it be an issue. I haven’t seen a lot of the staff since I joined (I go at typically non-staffed hours) but the experiences I have had were positive. That’s fine, I’ve never had to fight for a cardio machine, even after the New Year. It is obvious by the amount of space dedicated to lifting that lifters are who they are trying to market to. There aren’t a ton of cardio machines (four treadmills, 3 elliptical, a bike, and a few video spinners). You really can’t beat the price for what you get. Glad I opted for the free trial before just signing up. I was really interested in this gym because I live less than a mile away, but now I am not sure how they even stay in business. Called back at 3: 30pm which is also within their office hours and got no answer. The next day, Feb 17 I missed a call from them at 2pm. Machines are broken, TVs on the machines don’t work, fan didn’t work on the one working treadmill, and only 3 patrons were present during the after work rush, though I can’t say I am surprised. 70 minutes later, I finished my workout and left. NOPE!!! The patron was right, they were gone for the night. The patron let me in grudgingly when i explained i was trying to sign up, and I proceeded to the treadmill figuring the staff member would return shortly, and maybe had run to grab a bite for dinner. Went to the gym the same day at 6pm which is during their «office hours» of 11am- 8pm but the doors were locked and a patron informed me the staff had left for the day. If that requirement is met, then the Anytime Fitness franchise support staff will teach new franchisees how to engage public and private entities and transform entire communities – one individual at a time.Signed up for a week trial pass on Feb 16. The only thing that Anytime Fitness asks of its franchisees is that they have a sincere and genuine desire to help others in their community improve the quality of their lives by leading healthier, more active lifestyles. Most Anytime Fitness franchisees have little or no prior experience in the fitness industry and fewer than 50% have owned a business before opening their first club. Our strategic development and extensive gym network offer our members convenient access to our gyms, and our dues are affordable. Anytime Fitness clubs are welcoming and friendly. While the franchise’s early success was built on a small-footprint gym that could succeed in almost every market, the true revolution Chuck and Dave introduced was addressing the most common excuses people use for not exercising more frequently: cost, convenience, and the intimidating atmosphere of traditional fitness clubs. During that same time, Anytime Fitness expanded in new international markets including: Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland, The Republic of Ireland, Poland, the Netherlands, Japan, India, Chile, Canada, The Cayman Islands, Spain, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Qatar, Italy and Sweden. In the midst of challenging economic climates, Anytime Fitness has achieved remarkable and steady growth, opening an average of 300 clubs each of the past nine years. Though they had their doubters, the years since have seen Anytime Fitness grow to over 4,800 gyms in 38 countries serving more than 4,000,000 members. Our co-founders, Chuck Runyon and Dave Mortensen, recognized an opportunity to provide consumers with a clean, quality workout experience in a convenient, 24-hour gym setting. Anytime Fitness began in Minnesota in 2002.
