Anytime Fitness

Mike manager is great. I have moved in New Jersey in last 3 months. I have send all my documents which i should’ve be present for finance accounting for that why i can not to continue with anytime fitness. But they didn’t not to work for cancel it. I use time for 1 hour for register but now i use almost 3 month for contact with finance account and continue to do it. Waste time for me.

The manager Mike is a great fit. Keeps the place clean, and unlike the majority of gym employees I’ve come across he’s approachable and personable. Creates a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Facility is small but always clean. Staff is friendly. The problem was that I had to move six months into my membership. I moved to Lexington and there was an anytime fitness in Medford, which is incredibly inconvenient to get to. Since it’s within twenty miles of where I was moving, the manager refused to cancel my membership. The best she offered was to change my membership so it would stop renewing automatically six months later. If you join, it’s alright for what you’re paying, but make sure you’re not at risk for a job change or moving because they aren’t forgiving for these circumstances. I’ve been eating $ 40 a month for something I can’t use.

I’ve been a member for almost a year now and so far so good. I chose it mainly for the location since I work closeby and I have not been disappointed. I used to go to World Gym in shrewsbury before the closed up last year. I scoped out at least 6 gyms in the area before finally settling on this one.
This is not Planet Fitness that takes what I call an «assembly line» approach (you can see the large volume of people in there when you drive by White City). I didn’t want what looked like a factory. Anytime Fitness is small and intimate and they have every single possible equipment you can want. An indoor rowing machine was important to me and they had one. All the treadmills and ellipticals and stairmasters are equipped with tvs (if you like that sort of thing). I use mostly the weights section and love the selection they have. I also use the on-​demand fitness system — a room with a projector where you can select from various workouts (kickboxing, yoga, kinetics, cycling etc) and have a ‘private’ lesson all by yourself (great for people like me who don’t like crowds or classes). The place sometimes gets busy around 5 – 6 pm but never crowded enough that you cannot use the equipment you want. I will be renewing my membership next month for another year. I paid the full year in advance so I wouldn’t have to worry about monthly billing drama. And oh, AF is not cheap — at ~$ 40 a month its on the high side, but I got to say cheaper is not always better, and that’s why I go there. And finally, the manager Luis is fantastic, always smiling and encouraging. Plus the occasional phone call if you haven’t been in a week or so (I traveled once and he called in just to check up). Overall, I’m quite pleased with my membership there… one small complaint — whoever picks the music needs to step up their game lol. always some funky techno-​ish thing, so I always have my headphones on. Great gym.

Avoid this place like the plague! The gym itself isn’t too bad, although for $ 40 /​month you don’t get much more than you would for $ 10 /​month at Planet Fitness. The real problem though is with their billing company, abcfinancial. They have a tendency of charging random additional fees, ranging from $ 25 to $ 50. They also require you to email them 30 days notice if you want to cancel, from the same email account you signed up with, and including your address, phone number, and agreement number. This wouldn’t be too bad, except that I have already unsuccessfully tried three times! The first two times, they replied stating that they couldn’t find my account, and I would have to resubmit my request, including the aforementioned data, which was already included. On the third attempt, they replied that they had finally found my account, but that they would only cancel it if I sent them a certified letter. At the same time, they apparently intend to charge me a cancellation fee in he hundreds of dollars, even though I have been a member for over three years, and was told that it would go to a month-​to-​month contract after the first year. I’m beginning to think that I’m going to need to hire a legal team just to end my membership!

This is a great gym in a convenient location. Its very well maintained and they have a lot of equipment despite being a small gym. The owner is very friendly and always cleaning the place.

This location is just as great just like Anytime Fitness in Auburn. I go to both locations and both locations are fantastic. The staff, like in Auburn, are fantastic, and like Auburn, make sure the clients are satisfied. I would recommend this location and the Anytime in Auburn because you get to exercise whenever you want, and at some gyms, that’s not the case.

I live in Worcester and had to commute to the Auburn or Boylston location to use my gym membership. But now there is this new location on Shrewsbury Street! I met the owner last time I was there and he is a really nice guy. He was happy to talk to me and show me around. Everything about this place, including the machines, is state of the art. They have a tanning booth, a protein drink vending machine, all the circuit training machines, free weights, guided squat/​bench press machines, treadmills, bicycling machines, and many ab machines with an abundance of equipment to use. They even have a theater room with a projector for classes like spinning, kickboxing, cycling, dancing, etc. There are also private showers and restrooms that are very spacious. Another plus is that there has never been more than a couple people there when I’ve gone. It’s a very nice new facility. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into shape, switching gym memberships or searching for a nice quiet gym.
