I am a competitive athlete who travels from time to time and have visited many gyms in numerous cities and states over the years. While I was visiting Valparaiso I decided to give this Anytime Fitness location a try. I have to say, I was so impressed on many levels. While this isn't the fanciest gym I've gone to, it was one of my favorites.
First of all, the manager Cassie is incredible. Warm, welcoming, kind, and beyond helpful. She signed me up for a week-long pass and showed me around the space. I was so impressed with the cleanliness of the gym as well as the other aspects. The gym is well outfitted and I was able to easily perform all of my workouts. The clientele there was incredible - mostly men but all very respectful and nice. No leering, no staring, no dumb meatheads -nothing of the sort. They were there to do the work and workout hard - which I respect. Every member was kind and considerate. Each person wiped down their equipment and genuinely cared, which is something I've never seen at another gym facility.
The biggest thing I noticed was the sense of community - something Cassie has clearly fostered. She goes out onto the floor and is always talking to members, tidying things up, checking on things. It is clear that her work ethic and kindness is something she instills in her customers. It takes a true leader to impact the culture of any organization - especially a gym. I've been to many 'fancy' gyms that were filled with rude and arrogant people in my lifetime and I would far prefer a less fancy gym with people who are kind and like-minded like this Anytime Fitness.
Well done, Cassie! I think the ownership is very lucky to have you and I WILL be returning on my net trip to Valpo. Thank you...

Read moreThe trainers at this gym are fantastic! Emily pushes me harder than I would ever push myself. Kevin makes workouts seem super short and fun by sharing interesting stories about his life. They are both very knowledgeable and always willing to offer their expertise. Small group classes are my favorite. I love that whenever I miss a couple of sessions, they check in with me to see how I'm doing. I love the accountability and the care of these two.
The gym itself has everything you need for a full body workout. However, if there's anything they're missing, let them know and they'll make every effort to get it so that you can have the best workouts. Some personal favorites are the battle ropes and the TRX bands.
I got lost at a big gym, thinking I was saving money. It's not money saved if you never actually use your membership. Don't fall for the gimmicks of other gyms, join one that feels more...
