I joined Workout Anytime in West View a few months ago and even though I belong to a couple other gyms with more well-known names, Workout Anytime quickly became my favorite. There's a great variety of brand new equipment and it's by far the cleanest gym I've ever seen. The atmosphere and music are more subdued than the big box chain gyms, with less distractions so I can concentrate on my workouts. The members are friendly and encouraging of one another, and regardless of fitness level, are all focused on their workouts. You're not going to find this gym crowded with people sitting on the machines checking their phones between sets, or taking selfies in their cute new outfits. These people are here to work. UPDATE: My original review said if Workout Anytime offered personal training it would be the perfect gym. Well, perfection attained. Not only have they added a personal trainer to staff, but it’s someone I’ve worked with in the past and he’s INCREDIBLE!! If you’re looking for a training experience specifically designed to your own needs and goals, and you want to work with someone who is enthusiastic, encouraging, and makes hard work fun, you need to make an appointment with Frank at...
Read moreI have mixed feelings about this gym. On one hand, it is clean and new with nice equipment.
On the other hand, the aesthetic and vibe of the gym is reminiscent of the 90’s and 2000s, and not in a good way. Before Halloween, I received a push notification from their app with an article listing popular candy types with how many calories each contained. Then, how much cardio you would need to burn off each candy. That seemed a bit strange to me, but I brushed it off. Then, earlier today, I received a push notification that said “Learn these tips to keep off holiday weight gain!”
It is almost 2024. The mindset of meticulously counting calories and obsessing about the number on a scale is at least a decade outdated at this point. It is about balance and we all know that.
A modern gym should be sending notifications about how to feel good, mentally and physically. Progress comes in many forms.
Sending messages to your members about literal calorie intake and their weight is not contributing to improving their mental health. Get...
Read moreEditing my review because they just fixed the temperature. The AC is finally set to 69F. I was worried I was going to have to find another gym. 78 and humid was not ok for even a workplace, let alone a gym. So glad it's normal now! I will edit if it goes back up tho.
They also just added another bench press! Now I'll actually be able to get my bench done on those nights when that guy who sits on it for literally an hour doing up and down sets for like 20 sets of 3 reps is there! They also just re-oiled the machines and that is much appreciated!
This gym has everything you need. Is it a super premium experience? Not really, But a big step up from planet fitness and you can do any workout and serious body building. Tons of barbells and dumbbells and racks! Anytime after 8pm is super chill.
Honestly you can't beat the value. PF and crunch just aren't it, and the other premium chains are at least double the price. I recommend...
