A Hidden Gem: My Favorite Gym Experience!
In October 2023, I signed a contract with Ayntime Fitness on Robinson Avenue in Springdale, Arkansas, for a gym membership and personal training sessions with Jason A. A year later, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions Iâve made for my health and fitness.
Let me start by saying this: Iâve never had an issue with this gym that was so frustrating it warranted a negative review. That alone says a lot. If you understand gym cultureâlike racking your weights when youâre done or picking up after yourself if you miss the trashcanâyouâll fit right in here. Cleanliness is just as much my responsibility as it is the next memberâs, and the team here works hard to maintain a welcoming environment.
On the rare occasions when a machine has been down or a bar pad needed replacing, all Iâve ever had to do was mention it politely to Jason, and itâs been handled quickly and efficiently. That level of responsiveness is hard to find.
As for the gym itself, itâs the perfect blend of quiet, intimate, and functional. This isnât a massive, impersonal space filled with gym âlugsâ trying to tell me how to do my workout. Itâs a smaller, tucked-away spot in a shopping plaza with a calm vibe that lets me focus entirely on my fitness goals. Having a key fob that grants me access ensures that only members use the facility, which makes it feel safe and exclusive.
Jason A., my personal trainer, deserves his own shoutout. His expertise, encouragement, and tailored plans have made a significant difference in my progress. He listens, adapts, and always brings positive energy to our sessions. I never feel judged or pressuredâjust supported and challenged in the best way possible.
Compared to other gyms Iâve triedâlike Planet Fitness and CrunchâAyntime Fitness has been my favorite by far. While Planet Fitness is fine, my daughter enjoys her membership there as well, nothing compares to the peaceful, personalized experience I get here. My husband also has a membership, and though he doesnât use it often, he appreciates the convenience and quality of the facility.
For anyone looking for a gym that prioritizes community, convenience, and a supportive environment, Ayntime Fitness is a perfect choice. Whether youâre new to working out or looking for a more intimate space to train, this is the place to be. Iâm incredibly grateful to have found this little corner of...
   Read moreI have been a member of this gym for a few months now, and have been bringing my wife with me as my guest for the last month or so. I received a text message from someone at the gym stating that due to covid, guests are no longer aloud, but that she could purchase a membership to still go with me.
I originally signed up at a different location and was told I would have access to any other Anytime Fitness location after 30 days of being a member. I was told that if I went to a different location more than my original âhome gymâ, that the gym i visit the most would become my new âhome gymâ. They told me that if that happened I would still just have to pay the price of the original gym I signed with. I received an email stating that my price was being raised from $29 to $40, and that if I didnât accept it I would be kicked out both springdale locations.
How does any of this make sense. If it werenât for these issues Iâve had within the last 12 hours, I would have no issues with this gym.
Update: although I appreciate a response, my main concern was not addressed. In the policies of anytime fitness, I was allowed to bring a guest. If Anytime Fitness needed to change that policy they should, but shouldn't have blamed it on a sickness thats affected many. That isnât very good...
   Read moreI had an incredibly frustrating experience at Anytime Fitness in Springdale, and I feel compelled to share it to save others the hassle. I scheduled a noon appointment to discuss a membership, but by 12:30, the manager still hadnât bothered to see me. Instead of offering an apology, he casually said, âHey yeah, this was running long, so weâll be a little bit longer.â Thirty minutes late isnât just ârunning longââitâs downright disrespectful of someone elseâs time.
This isnât even the first time Iâve had issues here. The first time I tried to set up an appointment with the manager, they simply never called me back. Itâs baffling how a gym that relies on memberships can treat potential customers with such indifference.
If youâre looking for a gym where your time and interest are valued, Iâd recommend heading to Planet Fitness or another facility nearby. At least there, they seem to actually want members. Anytime Fitness in Springdale?...
