Anytime Fitness

My 7^th update review.
After 1 year of enrolling and working out, I’m very impressed for this back-​up gym that I really enjoyed the most! This Anytime Fitness in Natomas brings the coolest, and the kickest workout that you’ll always wanted of from cardio to strength; gaining muscles or losing pounds of weight! As I mentioned since my previous review, this gym is quite small inside, but it has 2 wide rooms, so you can exercise your body a huge boost of power! The atmosphere is kinda quiet, yet in a friendly matter, so it’s welcome for everyone. The concept remains the same as most Anytime Fitness gyms across the U.S. except the extra room space. Very clean and tidy from top to bottom; left to right.
The owner Ryan, his assistant Joann, and Tes are doing a great job for making the participating enrolled customers like me a fantastic service! No cons at all.
I’ve tried one of 2 personal training sessions since last year (2015) when I trained with Logan T which he’s currently active right now after he transferred from Crunch 2 years ago. He has the charisma and knowledge to make his clients on how to exercise properly from squats to arm raise. I have no problems at all with Logan because he’s the friendliest trainer that I’ve ever participated especially his helpful tips. Additionally, Jimmy is also doing a fine job here too by helping his clients very active.
There’s also have weekly free workout sessions too like free karate and of course, customer’s favorite: Zumba! A huge plus effort! Furthermore, if you’re an officially enrolled member of this gym, you can come to AF at anytime you want ²⁴⁄₇ plus at any AF gyms across America! If not, you can bring a guest too, but you must check their local business hours to come if it’s for a free trail, or as a workout buddy too!
There’s plenty of parking spaces available although sometimes, it can be busy depending on the jammed parking environment, so be prepare to come if you can.
The pricing plan from gym enrollment to personal training sessions can be reasonable, yet it’s worth the value, so you can ask Ryan or Joann about their various pricing plan options to fit your budget wisely.
In the end, Anytime Fitness at Natomas is the finest, and the coolest gym that I’ve ever participated after 1 year of experiences of getting shaped and fit. A well, worthy visit! My rating: 5 solid stars.

So I’m going to be up here in Sacramento two to three times per year for work and I still want to stay active. I look around and Anytime Fitness catches my eye. I call and speak with the owner Ryan. He is really friendly over the phone and I decided to check it out.
I get in there and sign in as a guest and get a tour of the gym. There are two sides of the gym. One side is your conventional free weights, cable machines, various weight machines and treadmills, etc. The other side of the gym was for crossfit/​HIIT type work outs and had some muay thai and boxing bags. Its super spacious and is ideal crossfit/​HIIt workouts. They have rubber plates ideal for crossfit/​HIIT. There is also a huge tire and a boxing mitt holder simulator. Looks cool, but I haven’t had the time to really use it.
The place is really clean and the people there are pretty down to earth. Everybody is respectful and puts back the weights that they use. I highly recommend locals and out of towners to give this place a try. Ryan gave me a week free and I’m definitely going to be coming back every time I’m in Sacramento. No high pressure pitches or anything. It really was no hassles and no pressure.

Great price quaint small tight community.
I’d join and cheaper than 24.
Great in everyway.
No hassles getting in and out.
Clean.

Since I’m only visiting, the free week caught my attention. My boyfriend and I decided to try it and we loved it instantly. The guy who owned the place seemed nice. It’s a little smaller than what were used to but little to no wait for equipment is a major plus. They also have rubber plates which I’ve been wanting to try. The only downside is even though it’s open 24 hours, guests are only allowed during staffed hours which put a damper on working out for us. Will keep this place in mind if I’m ever back in the Natomas.

Great customer service, Affordable Prices, Clean gym with A LOT of equipment! Love Love Love it!

This place is great! Clean! Has everything you need… Except a stairclimber. This place realllllyyy needs a stairclimber!

Cleanliness has been slowly declining the last 6 – 7 months. Running out of paper towels every now & then is understandable. But every other trip to the gym there is either no paper towels left or no disinfectant spray so that I can wipe down the machines. I then go to the restrooms to get paper towels & walk to each cleaning station looking for disinfectant spray. Restrooms used to always be clean, I haven’t seen them clean in months. It appears many new members have joined which has increased the wait time to use the limited equipment. I suppose that could also be a reason for the lack of cleanliness & organization. I still think AF is the best local option but if it gets any worse I may have to shop around or invest in a home gym.

I get the chance to travel a lot for my job and this Anytime Fitness blows the rest out of the water (So far). Staff were friendly and helpful, the gym was clean and had plenty of room! Props to the ppl that run this gym.

This gym is clean! I had been at another gym for two years and was tired of cleaning equipment prior to use. I was in desperate need of positive motivation and good vibes after pregnancy to lose baby weight. Ryan introduced me to jimmy a personal trainer and he’s been a blast to train with. Jimmy is professional and customizes the workout to fit your goals. There was no pressure to join this gym and no pretentious attitudes. It’s not overly crowded and open ²⁴⁄₇.

All the perks of a chain gym without the hassle of a chain gym. Ample parking, clean facility and occasional rush hour. There’s a large variety of equipment for all types of workouts. Patrons are usually polite in asking for equipment. Overall, this is a great gym with affordable prices in the North Natomas neighborhood.

Love, love, love! I train for fitness competitions and I finally found a gym where I can do supersets without worrying about someone jumping on my rack or stealing my weights. Super clean! Fun staff!

This is the kind of place you don’t want others to find because it’s that good, but I’m writing a review anyway.
This is a chain gym without all the chain gym BS. Ryan’s no-​nonsense, no-​contracts approach seems a bit too good to be true after visiting Cal Fit down the road, but it’s the real deal.
The equipment’s in good shape and there’s a good variety. I rarely have to wait for anything, which is great. The few issues I’ve had were taken care of quickly. 24 hour access is a nice perk, especially on Sundays when other gyms have limited hours. It’s the best gym in the area, bar none.

Just passing thru Sacramento stopped by, the gym is very clean good equipment with friendly people, even had an opportunity to meet «Thor» on my way out great guy!

This gym was great when Viviane and Ryan were dating. Unfortunately she left him (I’m sure all members and guests can see why) and now he is bitter and rude. Things you are told on your first visit are never valid. I liked the gym because it got so little business so it was always dead but I now see why it gets horrible business. Ryan is rude and it’s hard to take fitness advice from someone who is overweight. They offer classes but if only 2 people show up they cancel class because it is «personal training» and we will need to pay extra. But anyways I like how slow it is but customer service is literally the worst I have ever experienced. Go Ryan! I wish you the best! :)

This Anytime Fitness is awesome! The owners and workers are welcoming and friendly. The gym is large and has an additional room for classes, TRX, cross fit training, boxing, and more!
I started coming here because I work near by (the Anytime fitness near my home does not compare to the amount of machines and space like this one). I would recommend this gym, it’s got everything you could ask for!
A month ago I started working with the personal trainer Vlad, I got a free session because I was a member, and it’s been amazing and hard charging ever since!
Here’s my review of Vlad…
I have always been athletic and in shape until I had my kids within 13 months of each other. All mothers out there can relate to the enormous changes our bodies go through. I was not seeing results by running so I decided to give Vlad a try. Vlad helped me with a great macro program (fats/​carbs/​protein) in addition to a weekly workout.
One month later I’ve lost four inches around my waist and four inches everywhere else. My gains have just about doubled in every weighted exercise I’ve been taught; my legs and butt are starting to look sculpted, and my upper body/​back is really defined. Most importantly, my pelvic floor has been strengthened by 100%! I’m amazed!
Vlad has given me an excellent fitness program, strong nutritional guidance, and sincere encouragement. The workouts are different every time and he always shows me additional exercises to do on my own.
Vlad is no doubt very passionate about his job and genuinely cares to give me the results I am looking for. Vlad explains why I am performing the exercise and shows me exactly which muscles are targeted. He immediately corrects my form and has given me additional corrective training stretches and exercises to implement as well.
Vlad seems to be conscientious about my abilities/​lack of abilities, and will adjust the workouts accordingly. Vlad is very professional and has a great knowledge of fitness, nutrition and trigger point therapy, which is amazing! I would highly recommend Vlad no matter what your circumstances are.

Sigh. Disappointed.
So here’s my experience:
I was interested in Zumba and stopped by on a Tuesday. I talked to Viviane, who happened to be the Zumba instructor and she invited me to take a week of free classes, writing the schedule down for me. She seemed sweet and friendly.
On that Sat, which happened to be a freezing cold rainy morning at 10am, I tried to attend the class and so my sad story begins.
I got there 5 min early bc I figured id have to fill out paperwork or something. The doors were locked. The employee inside just stared at me. Ok. Understood. So I sat in my car and killed time on my iphone. At 10:02, I’m thinking ‘oh no I’m late’ and attempt to go in the guest door. Still locked. I attempt to go in the member door. Locked and again — more staring. I attempt the third, class door and the girl inside points me back to the member door. At the MEMBER door, I was finally let in by Vladi and he promptly walks away kind of laughing. He looks to the guest entrance, points and says ‘heh heh, look there’s another one!’ Referring to another woman trying to get in to take Zumba. Apparently, locking out potential customers is a hilarious game. I stood there on the doormat having no idea where to go and didn’t want to just wander around. I voiced that to the employee laughing and he goes ‘oh, I’m Vladi. Your class is over there.’ There was no teacher there yet and dammit I forgot my water bottle in the car. I’m hesitant to get locked out again but hopeful that one of the other girls in the class would let me back in. I tried to come back in through the member entrance and Viviane opens the door, telling me I need to go in through the guest entrance. I told her it was locked and she gruffly said ‘no it’s not locked’ and shuts the door. Ooooookay, I get it. You’re running late and stressed. Not judgement. I do as I’m told and as I’m heading to the class I hear ‘ay … AY! Did you sign in? … Ay, did you sign in? You need to sign in’
At this point, I can’t help but roll my eyes. Really? ‘Ay?’ Alas, again, i do as I’m told while the guy (who appears to possibly be the owner) says ‘sorry, I need your information. I can’t be held liable if something happens to you here.’ Ooooooook. I said that I’ve never been here before and this whole thing has been really confusing. He acts confrontational saying ‘why has it been confusing?’ And I respond that the doors were locked at 10 and the guy that opened the door for me walked away after he let me in, so I’m a bit confused.’ His response was completely unapologetic and defensive. ‘Oh no, the clocks in here are fast. The doors were open at 10. We definitely didn’t open late.’ Ooooooook. So you’re telling me I’m a liar. Nice business strategy. I very seriously considered just leaving at this point because it was really uncomfortable, unwelcoming, horrible customer service to be treated like an idiot and a liar but whatever. I came here to do the Zumba thing so I did the Zumba thing. I won’t comment on the class, but there wasn’t anything redeeming about it that made me ever want to come back.
If this place doesn’t learn how to treat people, (especially potential clients!) they won’t be here very long anyway.
I had really high hopes for this place since it’s close to my home and all I wanted was access to Zumba classes. Viviane had told me about a punchcard for just the classes. This owner-​looking person had no idea what the punch cards were about when I asked. Alright. Understood. I’m not welcome here and my business isn’t important.
From someone who’s been in sales and customer service for 11 years — EPIC BUSINESS FAIL.

One of the best kept secrets in Natomas. You will be pleasantly surprised when you walk in and see how big it is. I am not a fan of big box gym prices, unavailable classes, unavailable equipment, the show, and just too much going on for my style. I started working out at home then joined a smaller gym that was basically cardio and weights for a more than reasonable price. It was a great confidence builder and I loved it there, but wanted a little more variety and flexibility in the times I could have access.
And then I was told about Anytime Fitness and it was the best of both worlds. They have all of the best equipment: cardio, weights, big olé cross trainer apparatus thingy, boxing (bags & an electronic sparring machine), and a hardwood studio area. They offer classes where only a couple are $ 5 members/​$ 10 non members, like circuit training. But the majority of them are included in your reasonable member fees, like Zumba & Yoga. I look forward to trying out kickboxing taught by certified UFC trainers and Kyokushin Karate in the near future. As a member you have an access key that gives you ²⁴⁄₇ options, but the managing staff is there 10 – 7 if you want to come by and check it out or workout as a guest. As a franchise there could be subtle differences compared to other Anytime facilities and pricing. As a gal who loves a deal make sure to look for coupons at the lil smoothies place next door, on line, or ask about available specials when you are signing up.
Sooo, I’m a little bit of a germaphobe and I love that it is extremely clean! Hand sanitizer and wipes in every corner. The members are regular people of a good range of ages and fitness levels and overall some of the nicest folks I’ve met. There are multiple spacious full private bathrooms (showers & all) along with tanning if you you’re into that. My year round tan keeps me from trying this one feature ;). During the holidays they kept it fun and interesting with little parties and fitness games w/​prizes. Very helpful during the season of over indulgence. Overall it is just a great way to workout and meet people from the neighborhood with the goal of doing a bit better/​more than before. But feel free go beast mode if you want, you will have everything you need to do it either way!

I’ve been to several gyms, ranging from giant conglomerates like 24 Hour Fitness, to smaller corporations/​franchises like Fitness19. I was hesitant to join at first because it is a lot smaller than any of the other places that I have ever been to, but upon closer inspection, the size is absolutely perfect. The gym isn’t as busy as the others, which is absolutely great if you’re terrified of revealing how puny you are amidst chiseled physiques. The staff is simply excellent. They know you by name, and not because they have to! You pick up theirs too quickly too (Viviane and Ryan). They keep this place super tidy, and very rarely is equipment out of order. They recently began group fitness classes which my partner loves. The place is comfortable, and that’s not something I’ve ever felt in a gym.
I’m not overweight or underweight, but I do need to work on my strength. I recently began working with Vlad, a personal trainer here, and I love his methods. He is an intelligent guy, and his patience made me trust him quickly. He knows what he is doing, and is a great teacher. He tells me why he has me do the exercises we work on, responds to my texted messages, and is always on time. Plus, Vlad is sooooo easy on the eyes!
In short, I’ve experienced many different kinds of gym, and I highly recommend this particular one. If you’re looking for a trainer, don’t get mad, get Vlad!

I love the ²⁴⁄₇ access.
Viviane and Ryan are friendly and helpful if you need motivation, inspiration, or direction. They offer a variety of classes after work M-​F and Saturday morning. Zumba and TRX Training are the two most popular classes they offer!
They also have personal trainers who are able to accommodate most schedules (morning, afternoon or evening time slots).
I like that I can use other local Anytime Fitness clubs in CA and across the country. There is an Anytime Fitness in Bristow, VA, near my best friend’s house! Very convenient when I visit and can’t adjust my sleep schedule to Eastern Time Zone!

The moment I stepped in here I felt immediately welcomed! If it weren’t for the super friendly staff I probably never would of signed up or even done my free trial. The first day I was shown around the entire facility, was told about all the events, introduced to more staff, and given package prices. I was so happy with my experience that I worked out that night.
A week later I decided to sign up, the coolest thing is that this place is never packed. You don’t feel intimidated when you walk in. Everyone is extremely friendly and also very focused, so there’s no typical gym «showing off». I love places where I feel like I’m a part of a community and anytime fitness Natomas sure has made me feel that way!
