Anytime Fitness

If you or a loved one suffers from any type of MENTAL ILLINESS do not join anytime fitness Mtg. and Staff are extremely ignorant and insensitive And yes Mtg, I did pay for the services they weren’t free.

I had a very nice experience with the owner when resoling an issue. I would recommend this gym.

Kicked me out because two teenage girls told the middle-​aged male gym owner that I «creeped them out». Never even spoke to them, just happened to be there at the same time they were. This was my second day at this gym. My experience with other Anytime Fitness gyms has been positive but this was very upsetting. If he’s going to cast aspersions on my character I’m going to do the same to him: he was trying to impress girls less than half his age. Also, there is no lounge area like there is at the other Anytime Fitnesses I’ve visited, the shower room and bathroom are separate, there are only two bathrooms and two showers, and their equipment is lacking. No separate room to do yoga and watch exercise tapes, just a bare loft with some weights and dirty mats. He also owns the one Watt avenue, which I have never been too, but I would avoid this guy if you want to keep your membership. Might switch to 24 Hour after all this, if I don’t get an apology from somebody.

I had a great experience here. It is quick in and out. Clean and usually not very crowded. Its an affordable work out option and conveniently located in East Sac. Staff was always courteous and easy to work with. I would recommend this gym!

Yes, it’s small. Yes it can be annoying that there’s only two shower rooms and the machines feel overcrowded at times but keep in mind that their location is prime for folks working at the surrounding locations which I fall into that category. Their service and the people working here are great.
I’m glad I did not pay attention to too many of the horrible reviews; which do hold merit in some of their aspects– such as what I mentioned briefly above but you are NOT just limited to this one gym with the «Anytime Fitness» membership! Which is the great part, since I frequent their other locations in San Diego to Tracy to Galt, etc. everywhere I travel and it helps to have them located near city centers and so convenient like 24 Hour without the horrible smells.

After all the horrible reviews, I was hesitant to join this gym. After working out here for two weeks now, I feel comfortable writing a good review. I pay $ 60 a month for my husband and myself. They offer student and educator discounts, but I believe regular coat for one person was $ 36 a month. This is a BASIC gym. Around 10 – 12 cardio machines, one weight rack, one barbell rack and one massive hand weight rack. They also have the regular weight machines. They offer classes (Zumba, yoga) for an additional fee, but after seeing the upstairs area where classes are held, I don’t know how they fit more than 5 people in the classes.
Today, I experienced what a lot of people have complained about in their reviews — problems with the cardio machines. I arrive and 3 of the 6 treadmills are in use. No problem. One has an out of order sign, so I hop on the other 2 and can’t get either to work. Ok. I move over to an elliptical. Can’t get that to work. Try another elliptical. Same deal. I ended up on a bike finally, just so I could warm up before lifting. While lifting, I saw another girl go to one of the treadmills I had tried to use and magically make it work, so there may be some trick to it that other people (like myself) are missing. The weight area is in good working order.
If you’re like me and are easy going and flexible with your workout, you’ll be fine here. If you’re someone who must run for 45 minutes the moment you enter the gym and have access to the three weight machines you want, when you want them, you will hate this place.

Okay. So i loved this place a year ago. However, currently they appear to be extending open enrollment to everyone under the sun without realizing that with this place being no larger then the length of a normal sized house it can’t support more then like 10 people at a time.
The treadmills are always malfunctioning and the tvs accompanying them are below poor quality to the point where you can’t even see the screen sometimes.
Only 2 benches. Come on really.
There is only 1 squat rack in which is the most popular piece of equipment so you can only imagine how long you have to wait to use it as every single person who does will complete one rep and then wait 30mintues before completing the next.
People also just stand around. It doesn’t even feel like a gym most of the time, just a social event.
Lastly, I had money stolen from my purse. When I called the gym to notify the manager of the incident who had been out of town at the time, I was asked over a period of 2 weeks by 4 different people about the situation where they asked over and over about what had happened and what the date was that it had occurred on. I finally had to tell the last person to stop calling because the situation hadn’t changed nor did the date. The manager never called me back.

If you want to get buff in front of tons of people, or if you are looking for an all inclusive gym with spas and pools, then maybe this isn’t the gym for you. But if you want a place where you can get your cardio in or lift weights, any time day or night, hit up Anytime Fitness. Their rates are reasonable, their gym is always open, kept clean, and their machines work. What more do ya need?

I’ve been coming to this gym for about a year now. Staff is friendly and the people and cool. But that only goes so far. This gym is soooo ran down it’s literally an epic disaster. All cardio equipment has hit optimum life span!!! Treadmills will go up but not down always one or two out of order regularly. The make the worst noises. And with only 10 major cardio machines it’s a HUGE inconvenience! Bench seats are ripped and all of the popular stationary weights. Let’s chat about a bottle of Windex and what it could do for the upper half of these mirrors??? What I’m saying is this place is DIRTY! The girls do a small surface clean from time to time but this place needs a deep down clean from the ceiling fans, corners, the areas the swiffer isn’t getting to.
Last but not least!!! Put the sanitary wipes and towels in better locations!!! Why am I squeezing between two people in mid sprint to wipe down my equipment? These items would be quick and easy to use! Not behind things!!!

I joined this gym because it is close to my house and convenient due to other locations. I didn’t think it was that bad until I went to another Anytime Fitness. I work in Auburn CA and that AF is wonderful. This location is dirty, rarely staffed, does not provide sanitation wipes for the machines, does not provide hand sanitizer for after workouts. The machines are old, only one true elliptical machine and many times the TV’s on the cardio machines are broken. I try my best to workout at the location in Auburn. If I could I would join a different gym but there isn’t much around my house…

Good place for a work out. The free weights and machines are plentiful, clean and usually in good repair. No sauna, locker room, handball courts or childcare. They do have a couple of shower rooms and a few lockers in the restrooms. The price is good if you don’t mind going home sweaty. Love the easy 24 hour access and it’s in a good location although parking can be tight at certain times of day. By the way all gyms put time limits on the cardio machines for peak hours because some folks can spend hours on them.

Erica Auld is why I thoroughly enjoy working out at this particular Anytime Fitness. When looking for a personal trainer, she fit the bill by being very knowledgeable and didn’t talk down to me like some other trainers I’d interviewed. Together, we set small goals and with her guidance on the machines, exercises and diet, we’ve plowed through our first set of goals. No one said it would be easy, but 5 lbs and 3% body fat loss later, we’ve set more goals for the next few months and I see no reason we won’t reach them together! Great trainer, knows her stuff and a pleasure to work with.

I’m happy with this location and would join again if I wanted a gym membership. The price was right for the type of space and overhead. My husband really liked going with me too, that’s a plus. Other Unilocalers thought the place was filthy. I never felt like that. At one point for about a month, they didn’t refresh their wet paper towels and many times the paper towels were completely out. I made due by washing my hands frequently and bringing a wipe down towel and used their alcohol spray.
The staff were always friendly. There was a trainer in the mornings who was quite self centered and liked to hear himself talk. But, if I was training and older lady who enjoyed complaining about how hard he’s pushing her and flirting with him, I’d start doing the same thing too. I don’t blame him.
But, I got a lot of use out of this gym. Never had a problem getting on the machines. Felt very safe and really comfortable around the other patrons. Had an easy time with parking.
I never had encounters with the owner like other people had. When I needed to cancel my membership, there were no problems at all. I’d join here again.

Great gym. Super affordable and 24-​hr access! Also, not packed or littered with sleaze balls like 24 downtown. Super fast and easy sign up. I like the smaller atmosphere and quieter crowd. Able to get in, sweat, and get out without being interrupted. LOVE THAT! Friendly and helpful staff. Well lit and safe parking. Only suggestion would be to add a few more medicine balls and another recumbent exercise bike. Other than that, it’s awesome.

SO, an update. Thanks the the actual competency of a wonderful human being named Alexa who went to extra mile to contact a corporate billing my issues have been resolved. However, just in case you are like me and travel or have multiple accounts for family etc. your billing gets transferred to whatever local gym they are using.

A long ago needed update to this review. I loved this gym when I first started going. I loved the easiness of the entry system, the open 24 hours aspect, the emptiness of it due to lack of popularity at the time, and the promise form the employee who signed me up that I could pay in cash every month.
That fell apart quickly as it came into my 3^rd month of membership and there were billing issues. I went in, to pay my membership in cash, and the girl said «Well we don’t usually do it that way, but I can help you today.» Hmmm… I was promised this when I signed up or I may have looked for another gym. But the girl helped me and even printed me a receipt of the cash payment.
For the next few days, I was called and basically harassed by the manager to pay my dues. He insisted that I had never paid and that my dues were overdue. I assured him that I had a receipt, and he said” Well, the payment was not entered into our system.“
I continued to explain that I would be there in person to show him the payment, when he finally found a copy of the receipt, and said it was because I paid in cash, and the girl didn’t know how to enter in the payment properly. That’s not my fault! That is bad management and lack of training. I explained to him that I do not like anything auto debited, and he invited me to leave his gym and find a new one that accepts cash.
I did, I found Crunch Fitness. No hassle with cash payments, walk in and pay. No managers calling to harass me over lack of employee knowledge. Glad I made the switch!

Located in East Sac, in the same shopping complex as Dos Coyotes & the Sac State off campus housing… this is a well lit area, with plenty of parking and a relatively safe feeling. Everything Cal-​Fit Downtown wasn’t.
I like that there are no hour restrictions on entry, you can come and go as you please with your electronic key. Big Plus! — There are plenty of machines, although they are a little on the older side. For the price (about 30 dollars) it’s to be expected.
They have a nice group workout area upstairs with plenty of balance balls, free weights and form rollers.
My only problem, you have to pay extra for the fitness classes. Other than that I’ve been very happy with my switch!

Dear John Letter.
I’m sorry, it’s not you, it’s me. In the beginning you seemed so clean and easy to get a long with. You were close to my house and always not busy. Then I skipped a day and secretly started going to another gym. Ok maybe two or three.
fyi I am not a whore. I was simply acting out. It was a cry for help!
Yea I know it was shady but I couldn’t tell you because I was sick I wanted to keep your membership and have other memberships also. At first you didn’t notice. I tried to keep it a secret. Then I came in with a 24 hour fitness towel and one of your trainers noticed. shiet!
Then I started going once a week. You got increasingly busy and it became harder and harder to park. Thanks to your new friend next door bikram yoga AKA BUTTRAM yoga. I swear to allah I use to park in the front every time. Now I have to park on the side next to the smomit (smelly and vomit compound word) hoppy brewery. Its sad.
I cant do it anymore. I had my partner type up a cancellation letter and slip it under your door. Unbeknownst to anyone in the gym.
Hopefully one day we can meet again. I know this is not the first time I broke up with you. Remember elk grove anytime. Yeah it might work again in the future.
who knows.
PS I really wanted to take it to 400 check in level but honestly we grew apart. It was never headed to that route. I’m surprised it lasted this long. I lost interest in you sexually at about 100 check ins. I’m sorry I know it hurts. You can cry. I just wont be there when you do.

I’ve been a member of this Anytime Fitness for a couple years now. I really like the location. Parking is easy. And aside from a few peak times it’s never overly crowded. Those are all big selling points in my opinion. There are a few negatives that make me wonder if the place is just hanging on. The machines are a bit beat up — I’m talking mainly about the treadmills and stair masters– but generally the equipment is far from brand new. Sometimes problems can go without being fixed for days or longer. Recently, they stopped stocking the paper towel dispensers with wet towels to clean the machines after you’re done. Instead the have giant rolls of regular paper towels and a bottle of cleaner sitting out. Did the wet towels get too expensive? I just renewed my membership. I hope they stay in business, but it seems like they don’t have money to invest in keeping the place up.

I joined Anytime Fitness about a month ago and so far so good. It’s a simple gym: a few treadmills, four ellipticals, a few bikes, and some weights. All of the cardio equipment has personal TV’s, though they get maybe six stations. I end up watching a lot of E, which apparently only runs Keeping up with the Kardashians. Classes cost extra, which is kind of a bummer considering that it’s not THAT much less expensive than 24 Fitness.
Though it’s small there is rarely a wait for equipment. The other gym-​goers keep to themselves and the staff is friendly. Equipment, bathrooms, showers are all clean and in good condition.
