Anytime Fitness

Gym is mediocre and there is a lot of empty space and lack of equipment. When you cancel make sure you have your cancellation in writing and double check your credit card statements. They have burned me twice and I have lost about $ 300 in fees with them.

I’ve been a member at Anytime fitness for about 6 years. I went on and off during school, but have been going regularly for the past 4 months or so. My experience has been great on the whole, and here’s why.
1. Your membership works at any Anytime location. I even went on vacation to the states and I happened to be staying near an Anytime Location, and my keyfob worked! So that was a nice plus.
2. The price has stayed the same for my entire term, never fluctuating up or down. I remember when the tax rate in Ontario increased, they even lowered their rate so that the total I paid (after taxes) would remain the same. MAJOR koodos to Anytime for doing that.
3. Affordable. I pay a fairly low rate, and whenever I am approached by other gym/​fitness sales people, they simply cannot beat the price I pay at Anytime.
4. While the gym (obviously) gets busy at certain times of the day (between 4pm-​9pm) or the year (January is busier than October), that is the same with all gyms. I go at a specific time during the day regularly (3x a week) and never really find myself waiting for machines. They were once a very tiny space, and have slowly begun purchasing the neighboring restaurants and expanding. The gym will be about 2x the size that it was when I originally joined.
This isn’t the biggest gym, and it doesn’t have the most machines. But for a small community and a great price, I think this gym works for me. The only thing I wish they had was a pool and maybe a few more bench press /​squat racks, but for the price I cannot complain. Staff are friendly as well if you ever have any questions, and I’ve never once had a billing issue (they automatically take out the same amount from my credit card every month).

FRAUDULENT BUSINESS — LIARS, DO NOT TRUST!!! Their «free» 14-​day pass applies to the franchise as a whole (when you sign up via Facebook compared to just their website where you get a 7-​day pass) hence the branch I visited said they would only honour 7 days (which I felt was acceptable) BUT, she then tells me they charge $ 21.95 for the 7 days, how is that FREE??? I had to walk out while the woman was still talking I was so angry. AND they are NOT CHEAP! They cost the same as Goodlife and more than Markville Fitness ($ 25 a month) which has staff, classes and respectable business practices that keeps their customers coming back year after year.
