Anytime Fitness — Local services in Fountain

I don't know why so many people sign up for this place. Maybe because of the location, or because you can use it anytime of the day. There are many other gyms where you can get a lot more for your money. It has machines for aerobics, and strength, free weights, and tanning booths. There are two private bathrooms with showers, and one private bathroom without a shower. Frequently you are stuck waiting for the showers, or bathroom. Also, it has small open cubicles, with just enough room for a gym bag and little else. There is at least one lockable cubicle, but I never had any problems using the open cubicles. It has little or no staff available at night. During the day the owner, or a manager is there. I'm not sure whether there is staff there during the weekend. You get access with a RFID key that is given to you when you sign up. So it's possible that you can be all alone in the gym at times. The only reason I used this gym was because it is close to home, and accepted SilverSneakers. I now go to a gym that is a lot cheaper for my wife, and has a lot more amenities including a pool, sauna, steam room, and...

The few negative reviews I see on here are very distorted and misleading. My wife and I have been members of this gym for a total of almost three years, and we don't have a single complaint to file. The manager John is very friendly and interactive with his members and guests. The gym is very clean and well maintained. Equipment and amenities are always kept up to date, and anytime something breaks or malfunctions it is replaced in a timely fashion. There is more than enough equipment to meet any and all fitness needs, the gym is never overcrowded so you don't have to worry about standing in line to use a piece of equipment, and you don't have to worry about someone looking over your shoulder or breathing down your neck while you workout. The pricing is extremely fair considering the space and equipment, and they have always been straight forward about the monthly cost with us. No surprise fees or fluctuating monthly costs to throw at you. If you are looking for an up to date, affordable and comfortable gym to workout at, this is the place. Highly...

It costs over a hundred bucks to sign up."no sign up fee" but they hit you with a non-refundable $60 charge for a key? You feel like you're talking to a used car salesman, canceling my membership (after my one year contract was up) was a huge headache. Why am I paying for a final month if I'm also turning in my key? And $40 a month? For what? Free personal trainers and a pool. Nope. A hole in the wall with old or broken equipment, and printed paper signs everywhere making you feel like you're a 5-year-old, or breaking the law. Nothing about this place feels good. Dirty equipment, never any staff.. But it's the only place in a 15 mi radius open 24 hours. For almost 500 bucks a year, sorry, more than that with the "no startup fee key deposit scam" I'll drive 15mi up north to planet fitness, pay $120 a year and work out at a place that has a full staff, less crowded, new equipment and isn't littered with ghetto print-offs telling me not to hold the door open for someone....
