Anytime Fitness — Local services in Sarasota

I had been an anytime member for over two years. In that time I moved around the country and transferred my membership to several different states/locations without an issue. The owner was so condescending and rude when I asked about why I was overcharged when my membership was transferred to this location (I was charged more than the monthly fee) I cancelled my membership on the spot. In need of a new gym, I started looking around and found a much nicer gym with more equipment taking my workouts to a new level that I wasn't able to achieve at anytime. This anytime was the most expensive of any of the locations that I transferred to at $60/mo (without offering any more than any other anytime), my new gym is $10/mo. I gave two stars because the gym is kept clean. Edit: To your response. I was done with you within 10 minutes and most of that was you trying to justify your prices. To be clear I did not beg you for anything, sir. I don't care what you charge and if you are trying to keep your gym less busy by charging more then more power to you. I would happily pay more if I find value on a product or service, but this was not worth it to me. It is anytime's policy to transfer the account after 30 days, not mine. I was actually charged $80 and was looking for clarification. The extra $20 was because whomever transferred my account (you????) entered my CC number wrong and I was charged for it, that was all the information I was looking for. I would not consider your gym a 'premium' gym and pay double what any other anytime throughout the...

I have been coming to this Anytime Fitness (AF) gym for over a year plus now. The owner: Biklen (Bik) Jazexhiu is a super guy, looks like a gym owner should be heathy & fit and has great interpersonal skills with all people whether they are members or not. This AF gym is always extremely clean whether it’s the general workout areas, machines, weights and restrooms. The gym has 24/7 access, vehicle parking right out front and this area is pretty secure when it’s late at night too. One of the supportable coaches or personal trainer is Michael who knows his stuff, as Bik does too, if you need those personal training services. I used LA Fitness & Planet Fitness before coming to Anytime Fitness and there is no comparison - hands down this AF is the best in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. Since, i have been using this AF for a while. I see a lot of the same regular folks working out there that are sincerely concerned about staying in shape, are friendly & maintain a great positive attitude while there. In closing, I contribute the comments/review, I have written here above is because the owner: Bik cares about the image his gym portrays to the community and wants it to be the Best AF gym in the area, which those that use it - know it is!

This gym definitely don’t take care of service members. I had a membership with this gym and requested a cancellation due to the fact that I was leaving for my army basic training but the manager promised to cancel my membership after a week but didn’t. While at basic training, I had no access to my cell phone and didn’t know they kept charging my account every week for about 3 months. Reached out to the manager and despite admitting that he had to cancel the membership but forgot, refused to refund my money. I don’t think that’s how service members or or any one who uses this facility should be treated. And I’ll add more to show that they don’t take care of people but care about making money. The owner replied to this review lying how he wanted to refund 30 days of the 90 days which they charged my account and I refused. He clearly told me “ I remember you told me to cancel but there’s nothing I can do for you on getting you a refund. You can call corporate” and he gave me a wrong number which is not related to anytime fitness. Treat your customers right. No need trying to cover up. YES you don’t CARE ABOUT...
