Anytime Fitness

This is a small gym and it is clean however it is expensive for what you get. Membershipc can run up to $ 45 per month with no classes and trying to find someone to help you is difficult.

Eh. It’s okay. It’s nice that it is open 24 hours and never crowded. But I’ve put in a request for TRX ropes and a stairmaster and they decided to get ANOTHER treadmill and a calf machine instead. So there’s that if it tell you anything.
The girl that works there doesn’t seem to care either. She has never had a direct answer if I have a question and is never presentable. I know it’s a gym, but at least wear clean workout clothes if you’re not in the mood to get dressed? I don’t know. I mainly go at night. So it’s an ‘Eh’ from me.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I am new in town and was excited to see a gym so close by. I signed up and printed out the confirmation for a 7 day guest pass on their website this morning and walked over there (in the rain). I show the incompetent female employee my pass and she goes on to tell me I need to pay a $ 30 deposit right then, which was not mentioned at any point on their website when signing up for my pass. I had only brought my ID, so I did not have the money with me. I told her this and the best she could come up with was to come back later. Would it really have been that much trouble to let me work out for 45 minutes then and let me come back with a deposit the next day? I will definitely not be coming back now.

I have to say that my 7 day pass has expired and I loved every moment of it. At first I was paranoid, myself being overly obese, to come to a gym for the first time in the longest. I can say talking to the staff at Anytime Fitness really comforted and protected my ego from quitting the minute I walked back in. Everything was super beginner friendly. No one looks at you funny or talks about you, they just want to workout. I never needed comfort afterwards, even though comfort was there. I did not own the place, yet I was very welcomed by the atmosphere. The only reason why I rate Anytime Long Beach 4 stars is because they have no sauna or steam room. It would be great to have it on staff hours at least. The other debate on my mind is that if you need to use the restroom your wait time sometimes depends on how lengthy the person’s shower time is; for the shower is a part of the restroom. I would have gave it a 3, for this, but I never needed to use the restroom while someone was in there bad enough to hate on a mis-​fraction. Will be joining! Recommend! Simply If you want to just workout and not worry about intimidation, this is your gym. P. S. If you are a veteran, check out Catch A Lift Fund. They give disabled veterans that are combat connected free gym membership to any participating gym and Anytime is one of the main ones. Oh, and might I add Catch A Lift also provides workout equipment for your home if you prefer. The staff member that I meet didn’t know about the fund when I presented it to her. But with this, I encourage veterans to take advantage of this pot of donation in memorial to a fallen comrade, faith will take action. Hopefully it will be a well known fact by word of mouth and social media. There is a six month waiting list though, but it’s worth it.

Will be signing up today. A nice lady Helped me out and gave me a lot of information about the gym. Better experience from last time. Gym is nice and clean, and a good deal as well. Unfortunately they are missing a cardio machine I enjoy…

Awful, straight awful.
The staff is unhelpful, and sometimes down right rude, the equipment is usually dirty or damaged. The showers have no mat so prepare to ice skate. I also found out later they had secretly been charging an extra $ 40 a month and hiding it from me.
Do. Not. Go. Here.
All the good reviews are fake.

I guess i’m writing the same comment every other person with a one star review wrote.
I was planing to go and get a membership for so long, I finally left work early and decided to go today. I love my current gym but it is far and this one seemed more convenient and nice.
I got disappointed with a very poor customer service, i went there and a lady was sitting, she didn’t introduce herself or what she does there, she had a copy of the plans they offer. One with a 12 month contract and one with no contract. And I thought it is a higher rate than my friend’s rate. So she said the rate varies between locations. I just think it doesn’t make sense to have a starting fee + 12 month contract + a monthly rate that is higher than the average.
And the lady didn’t seem excited at all. I told her my boyfriend wants to join to, does that make a difference? So she told me it’s $ 5 less for him a month.
I felt like she was just giving me brief answers. So it was me asking… Then silence… Then me asking again… Then silence …
Honestly, her way of speaking made me feel so uncomfortable.
The last thing i asked for is if I can get a copy of their plans so i can think about it, show it to my bf or just to be able to see my options, i was shocked by her telling me that, sorry we don’t give our pricing out! Why not ??!
Because every single customer is rated in a different way?
Everybody seems to be so happy that the gym is never crowded, now I know why! Nobody would really like to go and get a membership there with all competent gyms around!
I just hate places that don’t have enough honesty. Customers would trust places that are not afraid of show ing their rates, with places that have good customer service and employees who feel excited about working there.
Really Disappointed and will not be back.

failed to mention that when contact ends, they will begin to charge you month to month… without any notification that your contract ended and they will begin charging you on their own.
so basically once your contract ends, you then have to come into the gym to «cancel» an already ending contract… makes complete sense. i loved this gym until i realized i was charged unknowingly over 200 dollars…

Printed a 14 day pass online and went in to check it out today. This location only gives you 7 days. That’s fine, just stop offering 14 days if it’s not accepted at this location.
The employee in the back office was awkward… wonder if this was the same guy mentioned in other reviews. He acted like this was the first time he had ever been presented with a free trial pass. No tour, no info about pricing, nothing.
This place is super duper clean, but customer service is on par with larger gyms.

I am not a member at this gym but I was interested in joining. So I clicked on the 7 day pass offer here. I went came yesterday and was told I could only workout from 7am to 9 am with this pass which is ridiculous because I work and go to school. This gym wanted to charger me 30 dollars for a key to use after hours. I lost interest right away because they didn’t even work with me.

Clean gym but very small and limited equipment. Recumbant bikes r poor. Only one bathroom slash shower room. Cant use if somone else is in there.

A couple weeks ago when I called a lady picked up and invited me in for a tour, sounded very friendly on the phone. I heard of anytime fitness from a co worker who said great things about this place… he comes here with his wife all the time. I was very excited to come see the place for myself.
Yesterday I walked in walked in with my credit card and ID — eager to sign up… A lady directed me to a guy in there named Chris — I walked in his office… he didn’t bother to say «hi welcome to anytime fitness how can I help you» he just sat there in his office giving me a blank stare… «ummmm hello, I am _​_​_​_​_​_​and I extended my hand out to greet him» … already I was put off by this kind of customer service where the client has to take initiative just so it is not awkward. I told Chris why I was here… I asked if I can take a tour of the place… he said sure, and proceeded to stay sit… so at this point, I walked out of his office and gave myself my very own tour… very award by the way being the gym was a bit busy… I just wanted to get out of there at that point… I walked back into Chris office where he continue to provide me with grade F service by saying absolutely nothing to me… I wanted to sign up, but my pride of having a very shitty sales guy, and very shitty customer service made me just say «I will be back» and walk away, which is exactly what I did… Chris needs to be a little bit more motivating when new clients come in eager to see the place and sign up… Chris also needs to learn how to stand up out of his chair and greet new prospects when they walk in his office… Chris also needs to learn how to give tours… I wonder if I will get treated this way if I walk into Planet Fitness or 24 hour fitness… We will find out today when I go check them out…

I love the fact that all the machines are kept in top condition AND that this place never seems to be overly crowded. I usually go right after work (around 5:30ish) and have never seen more than like 8 – 10 people — even at this peak time.
Great place to be a member!

I applaud the Anytime Fitness Franchise model for rescuing me and my physique from the bowls of main stream, cookie cutter, fast food gym joints.
Two years of 24 Hour Fitness took the best from me, and like a lift into Elysium I now am operating at peak potential in a healthy environment far from the dregs of society.

I switched from LA Fitness to Anytime Fitness mainly because of the hours (LA Fitness is 8 – 8 on weekends and I sometimes work weekends). The gym is pretty basic. Here are my thoughts:
Dumbbells:
— one set for every weight (5 lb increments), possible two sets for the lower ones like 5 or 10 lbs
— only go up to 100 lbs (well, this isn’t Metroflex)
— always in the correct order, always on the racks (gj members and staff)
Barbells:
— two barbells which sit in the power rack which means they are shared for squats, deads, bench press (no dedicated bench press station), cleans, etc.
— plenty of plates and bumper plates (4×45, 2×25, 2×10 I think for bumper plates)
Power rack /​Smith machine:
— two power racks facing the window which makes it hard to check form from the front view unless you’re lifting at night and use the reflection from the indoor lighting
— one of the racks has a straight bar on top for pullups (would be nice if it was wrapped in athletic tape)
— one smith machine but it doesn’t go that low (can’t do bent over rows on it)
Cardio:
— treadmills, ellipticals, bikes… I don’t really do cardio so not much input on this
Cables:
— two sets of cables with plenty of attachments (rope, straight bar, etc.)
Machines:
— basic… one machine for chest press, one for rows, one for pulldowns, one for triceps, etc.
Misc:
— yoga mats, foam rollers, plyometric jump boxes, bosu balls, exercise balls, kettlebells, a huge stretching cage, friendly staff, two sanitary wipe stations, gooseneck faucet (is that the term?) for filling up water bottles
Overall, I’m glad I made the switch. I go early in the morning around 6am and it’s not crowded. Never had a problem with parking or my key fob not working.

I lost 80 pounds on my own before ever joining any fitness club. The idea of being rushed, crowded & indoors on a treadmill just didn’t appeal to me at all. …but after passing Anytime Fitness & realizing it was a 24 hr access facility I decided to check it out.
I LOVE IT! No complaints from me. The staff is professional and the other members are respectful. I’d advise anyone of any fitness level to join!

The best thing about this Gym is you don’t need to wait for someone to open the gym
It a 24−7−365 type if gym (it’s alway open)
Plus it super clean and the equipment is new
Not some old worn-​out POS stuff
And it’s NOT crowed !!!
So if your the type of person who like to do
Talking workouts then this gym is not for you
Come in get it done and leave that’s what’s it all about

There seems to be less and less parking available these days… I’m assuming it’s because of the bar that’s next door.
Between school and work, there’s only a small time frame that my fiancé and I have for coming to the gym, and it’s disheartening when we show up all pumped up to work out and just have to end up going home. :sad trombone:

Love this gym! The convenience of being open ²⁴⁄₇. The fact that its NEVER crowded ! Even like at 7 –8 pm when it should be the busiest time. There’s plenty if TVs. Also I can walk there so it’s great. I am kinda bummed they don’t have the inner/​outer thigh weight machine. But they were very nice about it. Would recommend this gym over the other big
Ones ! It’s alot cheaper too. The coolest part is they have huge containers of
Wipes everywhere so u can wipe down your machines before and after.

I LOVE THIS PLACE.
I have belonged to many gyms: Family Fitness then 24 Fitness, LA Fitness, Curves, and now this one and I think I finally found a home.
No crazy pushy sales pitch, probably because the benefits are so great it sells itself.
The Good:
–24 hr access with lots of security
–Clean, no stinky gym smell like 24hr fitness on Bellflower (if you’ve been there you know what I’m talking about)
–Members are serious about working out. No one is hogging the machines or just hanging out chatting making you wait.
–Private bathroom/​shower, no awkward moments with naked people walking around HA!
–Lots of machines
–Access to Personal Trainers (you get one session free when you sign up)
–They remember your name, nice to be greeted by name by owner/​employees
–Never had problem with parking
–They have locations all over, it was nice to see one when I was out of town to work out (world wide)
Also, they have an online social network of their own where you can keep track of your daily meals, weight, calorie count vs. your exercise routine etc and get free LIVE advice from staff members.
The Bad:
— A year later of being a member & nothing bad.
