Anytime Fitness — Local services in Columbia

I was a member here for 18 months. It was less than a mile from my place. After coming here for so long I can tell you this gym is MID. They do not get new equipment. They do not have leg machines except two very old and over used machines. Three squat racks that get occupied by ppl doing curls. The management seems only interested in selling “Personal Coaching,” or their supplements. The only net-positive of their expensive membership is its 24/7 and you can access any anytime in america. That being said, lots of dudes going in and out of the bathrooms at 2am and they dont hit the equipment. Be very weary spending your money here.

EDIT, CHANGED MY REVIEW and ADDED COUNTER POINTS after ANYTIME’S CALL AND THEIR RESPONSE TO Review:

Kyle called me while at work and said the review was “out of left field.” Well I addressed the strange men coming in and out at nights and the rumors of dudes hooking up in the bathrooms to Tyler. He said I wasnt the first to bring up such things.

I never received benefits such as in person scans, until 8 months into my membership. Marie, when i signed and paid cash up front for a year, never informed me. So when Tyler gave me my first and scheduled another the next week, i thought I was being charged and canceled. He told me I had free benefits.

Also i tried scheduling personal training: canceled by the trainers every time.

And as for me breaking the mirror: Yes I did. Kind of happens with the small space that is THIS location and the way the Olympic weights are set in between two squat racks. I wasnt the first to crack your glass nor would I be the last. So lets not pretend thats you guys treating me special. I was lucky not to have been injured. I also cleaned it up and notified the staff of what happened. If you guys had an Issue with it then, like it appears you do now, perhaps you should've said something then.

I added the photo of the mirror I broke. You can see their trip hazard in...

Waiting for the contract to be up which won't be until May. It was not clear at all that the membership fee would be twice a month, and I signed up for personal training that wasn't personal at all. I did get out of that contract, but I cannot get out of the membership contract until the year is up and I don't use the gym. I didn't get the tour until after the sign up and there is no locker room. There is a single bathroom with a shower in it so you can't use the bathroom if someone is using the shower and I would feel very rushed to try to shower there. The machines are crowded. It's a terrible feeling there so I just don't go and I knew when I cancelled the personal training that I would be on the hook for a year of the membership (contact them and make sure your auto-renew is off!). But now I got hit with the annual fee days after I got hit with one of my two monthly membership fees. I hate this place. Talk about money down the drain. I don't want to be contacted. I have already gotten as much as I'm going to get back from this place and my complaints have been made known, but this place is really just there for the money and they will take as much...

I am so glad I decided to go with Anytime fitness instead of another local 24 hr gym in Columbia!! I have been treated with extreme kindness by all gym ataff that I have approached for help and guidance. I especially want to thank Owen who is my coach and nutritionist. I have been in his evening group training classes multiple times this week and have decided to upgtade to his small groups because he’s quite effective and highly knowledgeable about what he does. Also, his workouts definitely passed my heart rate and sweat test so no complaints about the group training!!! They will definitely challenge you! Also, manager Kyle & Marie were very helpful and understanding about my work schedule— many thanks to them!! They heard me out and offered recommendations based on my shift needs and budget. Plus, Coach Tyler was great at setting me up initially and has been so wonderful to chat with regularly. ANYTIME FITNESS is a clean facility with well maintained and modern equipment with an amazing group of trainers!!! 5 STARS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND 2...
