Anytime Fitness — Local services in Minneapolis

As a neighbor and pro-locally owned, I canceled my The Firm membership to join something in my neighborhood as it was across the street. After I signed up, they quickly began remodeling the already small footprint to make 33% of the space into a group fitness space. Putting all of the equipment into 66% of the space, and taking any floorspace you'd want to do floor strength training into a room used for frequent group fitness, I feel like it was a complete bait and switch. I have emails now from the manager offering to move my membership to a place 2 miles away, which defeats the purpose of why I joined. Do not join here. It is crowded and small and not that nice of a place unless you want group fitness. They'll talk nice to get you to sign up, but then they just worry about signing up the next people and will try to charge you to cancel if it's not...

One of the worst experiences trying to quit the gym. The Anna the Franchise Manager had me schedule an appointment after I stopped in to cancel after I had tried to email.

Only giving it 2 stars due to my experience with the gym 3 years ago when I was working with a trainer I really liked, and going 5+ days a week. I signed up for a training program 2 weeks before everything got shut down due to Covid, and it took 6 months for them to refund me the $300 after lots of emails and them saying "no," even though Covid was still rampant and I am at high risk, so I couldn't go to the gym. Since then the best trainer that was even worth going has left. The gym itself is very small with outdated equipment, and the staff will constantly try to get you to sign up for things and make it very cumbersome to cancel. I like Anytime for the convenience, but go to a...
