Overall fine for what it is, but a few things to consider: Cost: advertised as $60 per person base price; no family deals (eg discount for simultaneous multi member of same household enrollment). There's an additional charge (enrollment fee) for access âfobââ which isnât even necessary given ability to utilize phone for access. This wouldn't be terrible, except for the other points, below.
Amenities: as you would expect for an Anytime Fitness, there is minimal equipment due to the size of the gym; however, there are all the basics and two power racks. All bathrooms are individual, with 2 of the 3 also having showers, which means they are often occupied for extended durations during peak times. This makes even quick use challenging.
Clientele: similar to most gyms, you encounter people with poor etiquette who will spread their belongings across multiple pieces of equipment. The size of this gym makes this more problematic than other gyms, but again, it doesnât seem to be more frequent, just more impactful because there is usually one one of each piece of equipment - if someone is draping their belongings over 3 different items, this makes navigating a work out challenging.
-Upkeep: minimal, for the last several weeks. Bathrooms are frequently without any toilet paper. Zero Kleenex in lobby area (which is a change). Bathrooms are often grungy. Seated lat pull down without leg bar adjustment knob for months now, with no sign or indicators of repair.
Overall, this would be a fine gym for $9.99 monthly, but at the price point it offers far less than more luxury establishments. It is currently the only non-CrossFit gym in the Northfield area - the closest commercial gyms are 6-10mi away. It does have the necessary equipment, but would prefer being elsewhere, if the...
   Read moreThis is hands down the best gym I have ever been to, and I have been working out in "chain gyms" for 15 years.
The staff REALLY cares. Every single trainer that works there has an encouraging and welcoming attitude, and together they have created an environment of positivity, education and growth. Asking questions at a gym can be intimidating, but not here. They have done an excellent job slashing all of the negative "gym culture" stereotypes; and instead established a warm and supportive setting for fitness. You are not just a number at this gym - you are a person with goals, and they want to help with that.
I saw a review on here that the gym was too small. Ok, let's be real. There are not 65 treadmills at this gym. If you get pumped up by working out with 200 other people, then going into the movie theatre cardio room while you drink your smoothie made on-site - don't come here. If you like being greeted by name every time you walk in the door, making friends with other gym goers and feeling like you are part of a family, DO come here. (Also I have never waited for a piece of equipment).
Additionally, Anytime has just added some classes that were an absolute game changer for me. They are small group (1-6 people), highly targeted and results-oriented. The trainers keep the workouts fresh and challenging, and I am super impressed with how much change I am seeing just from three hour-long sessions per week.
I highly recommend you give this gym a try. You will love the team, feel better about yourself AND torch...
   Read moreLet me start off by saying that I dont think this is a terrible gym. It's a perfectly ok gym for somebody who is just starting out, lives extremely close, works out at 2 am on a daily basis, or for someone that hates large gyms gyms. That being said, it's by no means a good gym for anybody outside those categories. I think the best way to describe it is that it's halfway between a hotel gym and a planet fitness. The gym is incredibly small and has limited equipment. There are only two barbell racks which are used for benching, deadlifting, and squatting. The free weight area with the dumbbell is also pretty small. The machines they do have aren't the best, you would basically find the same equipment at a hotel/apartment gym. The one upside is that it has a nice (super tiny) turf and they do have a lot of lifting accessories such as a chain belt, ab rollers, and yoga balls. The worst part in my opinion and the reason why the review is so low is that I think they charge $30 a month. Thats three times more expensive as any of the larger (albeit busier) commercial gyms such as Vasa, Chuze, or even a planet fitness. If you are anything other than a beginner lifter or if you value diversity in your workouts I would recommend basically any other gym, even your local rec center,...
