Anytime Fitness Reviews?

I'm a member of Anytime Fitness (Conyers, GA) and I love it! The staff are very nice and are always willing to help you. Other members of the gym are very friendly and keep to themselves. It sure beats LA Fitness and other gyms that I've a member of. Definitely not a meat market!! People at Anytime Fitness range from all ages and all sizes and are there for their overall improvement in health. I think that Anytime Fitness would be a great gym for anyone looking for peace, comfort and above-quality exercise equipment.

I know your post was about fitness gyms and such but have you tried a program like P90X. I'm on my 2nd round and we use dumbells but there are so many different variations to use them I never get wore out or top out at all. When I feel its too easy I just increase my weight? The program has some great workouts for the whole body and I can do it anytime day or night.

That being said, does your city have a local YMCA?

I used to be a member of anytime fitness and I loved it! All the staff and people there were great. I only left because I moved and the closest one was 30 minutes away

The best thing about them was that you can go to any club anywhere - great for people who travel or want to go to a different gym after work or something.

I am in the middle of my free trial with them (you can get a free 7-day pass, and if you sign up for it with your facebook log-in, they'll double it to 14 days). I will likely join because it's only a 2 minute drive from work. Each one is different, though, so definitely do the pass and try it out before you join. I have just found that working out at home isn't going to happen. I walk in the door and the kids are bombarding me, there's dinner to cook, laundry to do, etc. So I go at lunch or right after work. I put on my iPod and it's quickly becoming my "me time". I find I can unwind and work out uninterrupted. My son is still at daycare at that time and my daughter has the gym's number and can call if she has an emergency (she's 12 and can stay home by herself), so it works out great for me. I also like the variety of machines they have...ellipticals, treadmills, stairsteppers, bikes, weight machines, Pilates machines, etc. I may even get brave and sign up for some personal training sessions!

I think the most important thing is for each person to do what works. If I try to work out at home, I find 15 other things that need to be done. If I commit to going to the gym to have my "me time", I'm much more likely to actually get the work out done than if I do it at home. I leave my cell in my purse, too, so I am basically incognito for that hour!

I am pretty satisfied with Anytime fitness. I think when you consider the price and if it is convenient to you, go for it. I know they offer 7 day free passes on the website (for one location only) that you can try it for 7 days and see if it would work for you. This is what I did, and we ended up staying. Here are my major likes:

-it is 1 block from my apartment
-it is always open
-my health insurance offers me $20 back every month if I go at least 12 times (which I get in most months)
-there are 2 other anytime fitness centers in the area, so I can go to the one farther north where they have a workout room with videos once a week (I am addicted to kickboxing video!).
-personal TVs on each cardio machine (I have not seen this at all the anytime fitness places)

I used to belong to a nice independant club (a lot like the Y...mid range, nice, but not too fancy) and the big disadvantage was their limited hours. It is nice to be able to go on my schedule. BTW, friday nights and saturdays are awesome times to go to the gym...its so empty!
