Anytime Fitness — Local services in Springfield

If no stars were an option, that's what I would choose. AWFUL LIARS. Was told that when I signed up that I was not going to be under contract, and thought that it was a great deal. I was only going to this gym so that I could be with Julia Martin (She is single-handling AMAZING, by the way) for a trainer. My friend that I was working out with was no longer able to work-out for life issues, and I had a few things come up so we decided to discontinue with Anytime Fitness. I went to the bank and stopped payments so that I would not be charged any longer (TOTALLY oblivious to the fact that this would lead to long months of a TOTAL headache because they had put me in a contract). I started getting calls from the collection agency. I then called John, the man who signed me up, and he said that he was "so sorry for the inconvenience" and that he would see what he could do and get back with me. I tried calling SEVERAL TIMES since the day he said he would call me back because (imagine that) he didn't, and apparently the man disappeared from the face of the Earth. I later, after giving up and trying to go to the location, got a call from a man named Johny. (HAHA) What a freaking joke he's turned out to be. He called me letting me know that my information was being turned over to the collections agency, I explained the entire situation. He explained to me that John was no longer in charge because he had been FIRED for doing similar awful things, and that he was taking over. He said that he would talk to the owner and get back with me. GUESS WHAT... He never reached back out to me either, so I made a couple of different phone calls to ol' Johny Boy, and his final answer was, "I'm not sure what you're asking me to do. Your information has been sent to the collections agency and you'll need to dispute with them." NOW, the worst of it was that I was literally a member of this nightmare for 2 months, paid over $50 monthly, and now they're trying to get me to pay over $700. This place is a JOKE and DO NOT recommend to ANYONE. Not even my...

To very honest I joined this gym with my significant other to get an extra workout in. I had been going to a CrossFit gym and loved it. I was immediately impressed with Luke and the warm welcome. He was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He gave us a tour and talked us through our membership options. What I appreciated here was the thorough detail. There are no hidden fees or surprises he is very clear through the entire conversation. Over time the place grew on me. We would be away for a bit and he would notice. You won’t get that most places. The man is always moving and cleaning and willing to help as you walk through. I left my CrossFit gym a month into this membership and now I can both continue CrossFit and weight lift because of the selection of equipment and layout of the gym. Both Luke and the owner are incredible people and you see them actively working out in the facility. I would recommend this membership to anyone...

Just started at Anytime Fitness on Republic Road in Springfield. The few things I look for in a gym are cleanliness, staff demeanor, equipment selection and availability. This gym has exceeded all those items. Together, the staff and its members keep the equipment clean. When you walk in the door, they're always there to say hello to you. The other members are friendly and seem happy to be there as well -- I've encountered several who were polite and respectful while waiting for a weight machine. They layout and selection of equipment of the gym ranges widely from free weights, bands, variety of weight machines, large tire to flip, ropes, ellipticals and treadmills. Equipment is spread out enough you're not on top of others trying to lift as well. The option go to gym whenever I want is nice. Look forward to my future workouts there and would highly recommend this...
