This post is from Maria, not David. After I used the EVOLT, Colin explained the results to me and showed me what had changed since the first EVOLT. He also talked with me about changes I could make to my diet to improve my health.
My husband and I have been very pleased with our experiences at Anytime Fitness at Mt. Nebo Point. We joined six months ago because gym membership is included in our health insurance, and we felt that we needed to do weight training in addition to taking walks outside and using a treadmill at home. Although classes are offered at the gym and there are lots of cardio machines and free weights, we have only used the weight machines. We generally go to Anytime Fitness in the middle of the afternoon.
There are numerous things that I really like about Anytime Fitness at Mt. Nebo Point. Molli (the manager) and the staff keep the gym very clean, and almost everybody follows the directions to clean the equipment after use. Since the beginning of the covid pandemic, cleanliness is more important to me than it was before. Although there are people at the gym who appear to be body builders, there are also plenty of people who are not. There are people who are older than us and people who are more out of shape than we are. You won't feel out of place if you're old or out of shape, so don't let that be a barrier to joining. The equipment we've used is well maintained. One machine was out of commission for a few weeks after we joined, but once the part was received, the machine was fixed and all of the machines we want to use have been available since then. When I noticed that a machine seemed to not be working well and needed to be lubricated, Molli took care of it immediately. When my husband and I go to the gym in the middle of the afternoon, it's pretty uncrowded, and we almost never have to wait for a machine to become available. There are so many different machines that you can almost always just use a different machine.
My husband and I had our second EVOLT tests today, and they showed how much we have improved in only 6 months. It was nice to get objective confirmation of our impressions. Even our rather modest gym routine yielded significant results. Most weeks, we go to the gym 3 days for about an hour each time. I don't enjoy exercising, but seeing the changes I've made keeps...
Read moreWent on a trial membership 3/26/17, 3/28/17, and 3/30/17.
My main complaint is how dirty and unkempt the gym is. I'll try to attach a pic of the drinking fountain. That sizeable piece of white crud was there all 3 days. Yuck. Caked on dirt around and on the machines and benches. Mikes excuse was their cleaning person was sick over the weekend. OK, that happens, but they still had Monday and Tuesday to clean it - was still there Wednesday morning.
Another complaint was the lack of long nylon handles for the cable machines. I spoke with the manage, Mike, and he said they would get those during their annual 'enhancement period' in August (several months away). This is a $16 item that every gym should have - not a major purchase (they have one handle now, but 2 are needed for most exercises).
The ellipticals are a very old style.
In general, the place has a neglected and un-maintained feel.
Edit: Added photos of the drinking fountain. Returned the keyfob. The franchise owner was in the office. Kinda rude and surly. He didn't say much of anything. No greeting. No interest at all on why I did not want to become a member.
They take a $98 fee for the trial membership - via credit/debit which they charge immediately. They won't reverse the charge when you cancel. They say they will send a check (15 dys later,...
