I am here now and it is so hot in here I cannot breathe so have to leave. The AC is NEVER ON here at night. It is an unhealthy level as some of us can't take the heat and humidity. TURN THE AC ON OR UP PLEASE. It is the main reason I don't come often as it smells like BO and is too hot. Also, the men constantly move the bench press benches around and don't put them back so we women are always having to drag them back. Can we please make these guys put equipment back as some of us aren't tall either. I'm on the rowing machine and the battery is dead or dying again. Has been like this for weeks. This gym could be great but between the insane heat and humidity like you are in Florida (which is unhealthy for anyone with lung or breathing issues) and the constant mess of equipment men never put back I get tired of cleaning up after people and dragging very heavy equipment back where it should be. Weight bench shouldn't move. Also they can roll camera and see who is dragging heavy benches around and not putting them back. It's not women friendly because of this. I like the open space and most equipment is decent but even on the lat pull down some men take off the bar that belongs there and it's hard for short women to get it down and fix it. And paying to park here sucks so I come after midnight. Paying to park at a gym should never happen. They need a free lot for their customers. So with some changes the gym could be great. But for the love of Bob! Turn the AC ON! IT SMELLS SO BAD IN HERE AND HARD TO BREATHE. I am at other gyms and their AC is beautiful. If I can't lift because it's so muggy it's not me, I've been lifting for 35 years. Turn the AC ON FOR THE SAKE OF ALL PEOPLE. PLEASE. It is always too hot here in the winter too. Who is deciding the temp? I can't stand the heat. Please turn...
   Read moreWARNING: Unethical business. Go elsewhere.* Gave these guys the benefit of the doubt the first time they failed to cancel my membership after saying they did. They refused to send an email confirmation and said since we were there in person, they just do it right then and there. No need. All done. Ignorantly, I chose to believe them. They continued to charge my account monthly until I realized what was happening. Went back and cancelled in person again, only this time demanded paper confirmation and also requested email confirmation. They acted like the request for a hard copy was excessive, but obliged. They never emailed, so I'm glad I have that hard copy. They've continued charging my account to this day. It's unethical and others in this community have shared similar stories. It's obviously intentional from the owner/management team. Gyms are notoriously difficult to quit, but this goes beyond that. I'll be looking at legal recourse as I have documentation that is clearly signed by...
   Read moreAmazing Anytime Fitness. Equipment is all brand new, clean, and in pristine condition. They have several cardio machines, weightlifting machines, a huge free-weight area, several rowers, and a large empty space for stretching when they aren't doing classes.
In addition to all the great equipment, they have amazing changing rooms that also have nice showers. There's even fully accessible showers for people with mobility concerns. As I just moved into a house that won't have a usable shower for 2 weeks, this is an awesome incentive to come in for early morning workouts.
They also accept Healthways, which is the Blue Cross Blue Shield gym discount program that Snap Fitness Ferndale discontinued.
There are also a limited amount of provided parking spots (~8 spots) for the lucky during non-peak downtown Ferndale hours for any customers of GNC, Detroit Bubble Tea, Inyo Sushi, or Anytime Fitness.
I think my only comment is that I hope they get some heavy duty fans to provide a cross-breeze on the...
