Anytime Fitness — Local services in Siesta Key

I have been a member of anytime fitness since 2021, since being a member, i have moved several times, been to multiple AF gyms, I have brought multiple guests in and nobody has ever come up to me and said anything to me about it or corrected me for it. I did not like this gym at all, the very first day I went the man who was running the gym was extremely nosey and kept staring at me and everyone else. he follows people around and talks to them while they work out, everytime someone comes in the door he runs up to the door to see who it is, and he just walks around and stares at everyone the whole time it was so weird. I was on family vacation in sarasota and visited this particular gym location, my mom wants to get an anytime fitness membership and asked me to show her my gym and how to use two machines because she was nervous to do it alone. so I brought her to show her. instead of the manager just being normal and coming up to me and talking to me first, he went back to the office, checked the computer, looked at my membership and came back and addressed me by name and condescendingly explained to me that I could not bring a guest in with my membership. i have zero problem with being told I am doing something wrong, but the way in which this man came up to me felt nosy, controlling and aggressive. he could have simply introduced himself, given me the chance to introduce myself, and he could have informed me I was doing something wrong in a respectful way. after doing this he made my mom sign a form which was totally okay but then continued to keep walking over and staring at us and looking at what we were doing. it made me and my mom so uncomfortable we left and now my mom does not want to get an anytime fitness membership which i’ve been trying to get her to do for years and she has gym anxiety and it completely disturbed her from getting any gym membership’s all together. i’ve never been to an anytime fitness where the manager or whoever he was is so nosy and strange. will not be attending this gym...

Accidentally grabbed my dads key fob instead of mine (after coming to this gym using my fob throughout the week) and the owner locked my fob. We are in the process of moving so our keys sometimes get mixed up when switching cars. Tried to go in during staffed hours to get it fixed and the staff can’t help me because it’s the owners choice and he “has his own hours.” I still have an account and pay monthly (like everyone else) but apparently they can’t look my account up. I accidentally grabbed my dads fob by mistake because mistakes do happen. Staff wouldn’t attempt to try to call the owner so I could talk to him or even find out when he was in the gym next, so I drove all the way to be told that I wasn’t allowed to workout. Maybe fix your staffed hours if regular staff can’t help.

UPDATE AFTER THE OWNER REPLIED: I literally went in (stopped by the office) to the anytime fitness and asked for your number (to attempt to call you), in which your staff, told me he couldn't call you. This was on January 11th at 8:00 am. Go ahead and check your security footage. I ACCIDENTALLY grabbed my Dad's key, I didn't plan it out, so how was I supposed to tell you. And I have an account, which could of been looked up. If you're gonna lie, at least be...

Shane is the owner and my trainer. He was referred to me by 2 friends who have been training with him for years. We are older and he takes such great care of us. He started me off slowly, because I was so weak and out of shape. Each visit, he added exercises, increasing my strength and stamina. I never go home hurting, yet I always feel that I had a great workout. He has strengthened my core and as a result, my golf game has improved. The gym has a wide range of ages and abilities. Everyone is committed to working out and always very friendly. Shane has sanitizer right by the front door with a bright-colored sign for everyone to use the sanitizer as they enter and leave. Almost next door is my chiropractor, Dr. Claire Fadely. It is an awesome hour for me - a chiropractic adjustment to align my spine and then a great 30-minute workout. I highly recommend...
