Iāve been going to the Anytime Fitness - Elmwood Park gym location for 4 months. Thus far, it has been my favorite gym that I have ever signed up for. They offer practically any equipment you would need for your fitness goals including free weights, resistance and cardio machines, cables, and accessories such as foam rollers, jump ropes, resistance bands, mats, etc. They even offer a water massage bed in a private room!
Although the gym is modestly-sized, it rarely feels crowded and I never have to wait for a rack or machine to be open. The space is also kept tidy and clean. The location is great too as itās conveniently near protein-loaded foods (with vegetarian+vegan friendly options) such as a burger joint, an Indian restaurant, and Taco Bell. Thereās also a CVS straight across if you need to run some quick errands.
In terms of the people, the owner and managerāArlene and Kymaal, respectivelyāare warm, funny, helpful individuals. I have not yet interacted with the other staff, but they seem very friendly judging from the group workouts I see them instruct. The patrons, too, have been welcoming and respectful of the space.
My only gripe with the gym is that the pull-ups bars available are either too wide, too thick, uncomfortably textured, or awkwardly placed for my liking. Iāve been using the neutral grip bars, though, which are a great alternative.
Overall, I highly recommend this gym. They offer a 7-day free trial, so you have...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is a fantastic gym and here are the reasons. It's very clean and it's open 24 hours a day 365 days a year. It's not very crowded in the morning or late at night and I Iove uncrowded gyms. It has very nice equipment, a hydro massage room and a nice studio. I particularly like the leg extension machine, the preacher bench for bicep curls, the biceps curl machine the fantastic stair climber, and a great precor stationary bike. It has a great set of dumbbells for light and heavy weights. It has very clean showers and private bathrooms which is awesome. .It has great convenient free parking. Its in a lovely little shopping center in a very nice small town. If I need some coffee to give me a boost I can go to the fantastic Elmwood Park Diner which is within walking distance of this gym. The owner of this gym is very nice and thats very important in a gym The people who use this particular gym are very nice people which is also important in a gym. One last very positive thing is that there are outlets all over this gym for charging your phone. That's rare. This is a fantastic gym and a hidden gem. The showers don't seem to have warm water but I never shower here. In my opinion this gym is one of the five or six best Anytime Fitness gyms in...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI joined Anytime Fitness about 2 months ago ! I was a bit hesitant due to my busy schedule and other diets and exercise programs that have failed in the past . I also saw personal trainers in the past at other gyms that get you in the door and forget about you . That was not the case at Anytime Fitness -they are 100% dedicated to each of their members . They know every member by name , greet you , ask how you are doing and take a sincere interest in your progress. They make sure you are doing the interval trainings correctly and in the right form to loose , burn and and build the body you need to be healthy and be at the top of your game . In the past two months I have more energy , stronger and enjoying my group training . The staff is the best I have ever known Kymaal, Hassan Janitzu and Arlene the manger is looking toward to new base burn and build workouts ! I am committed and realize it is a lifetime commitment to be healthy snd enjoy...
