    I've been a member of the Brooklyn MI location for 2 years. I like the atmosphere and the friendly staff. Angie is amazing! She keeps the gym clean and stocked with cleaning supplies to use on the equipment. There are bigger gyms around. I like the size of the gym in Brooklyn, MI. Thank you

    I have been working out at the Anytime Fitness gyms at Pin Oak and Fulshear for several years now. I started out working out by myself; however, I found that working out with a trainer was a better use of my time and really improved my strength and endurance. The equipment is always clean and efficiently arranged. This combination of immaculate equipment and flexible hours perfectly suits my training routine. The flexible schedules and multiple locations with excellent trainers has undoubtedly improved my strength, conditioning and overall health!

      This review is for the Anytime Fitness in Reading, PA. The facility is clean and the equipment is modern, but the culture is built for novice and casual lifters, not anyone with real training experience. I was interrupted mid‑set by a young trainer delivering a scripted “don’t slam the weights” line during a completely controlled final rep on a lat pulldown. After 50 years of lifting, I know the difference between intensity and abuse of equipment. The explanation I was given — that “titanium stacks can crack or break” — simply isn’t realistic. Commercial cable stacks are steel plates riding on guide rods designed to take far more impact than a normal, controlled return. If they were as fragile as described, every gym in America would be replacing stacks weekly.

      The interaction felt unnecessary and out of touch with how experienced lifters actually train. This is a corporate gym with a very cautious, trainer‑centric approach. If you’re new to lifting or prefer a heavily supervised environment, it may suit you. If you’re an experienced lifter who trains with old‑school intensity, expect interference.

      The conduct of the owner at this facility reflects a pattern of unprofessional, hostile, and negligent behavior that appears to be in direct conflict with the operational standards, member service obligations, and brand expectations associated with the Anytime Fitness franchise system. Anytime Fitness markets itself as a safe, supportive, and community-based environment. Many members—including teenagers and young adults—utilize the gym as a constructive outlet for mental clarity, personal discipline, and healthy routines. A facility of this nature carries an implicit responsibility to maintain professionalism, neutrality, and respect toward all paying members.

      Instead, the owner’s behavior has created an environment that is increasingly confrontational, poorly managed, and damaging to the Anytime Fitness name. The following issues are ongoing and well-documented among members:
      • Repeated rude, dismissive, and hostile interactions with members, inconsistent with any reasonable standard of customer service.
      • Failure to return calls or respond to member complaints, while continuing to charge dues, raising concerns of improper business practice.

      • Public and inappropriate social media commentary, including insinuations involving children and steroid use. Such statements are reckless, inflammatory, and potentially defamatory, and they expose the franchise and brand to reputational risk.

      • Arbitrary removal or expulsion of members without transparent policy justification, creating an atmosphere of intimidation rather than support.
      • Unacceptable cleanliness and maintenance conditions, implicating health and safety expectations required of a fitness facility.

      • Lack of consistent ownership presence or managerial oversight, leaving members without accountability or appropriate operational supervision.

      Additionally, it is important to note that these concerns are not isolated. A deeper review will reveal that multiple complaints have been raised not only by members, but also through town-level channels and public records. What is particularly troubling is that when members attempt to seek assistance or file complaints through the appropriate avenues, the matter is routinely redirected back to the franchise owner herself. This creates an obvious conflict of interest and effectively eliminates any meaningful opportunity for resolution.

      Members are left with no practical recourse when the individual responsible for the misconduct is also the sole point of contact for addressing it. In many cases, communications are either ignored entirely or met with dismissive and unprofessional responses. As a result, even attempts to report concerns anonymously feel futile, as all complaints ultimately route back to the same source. This undermines member trust and raises serious questions about accountability and franchise oversight. Anytime Fitness In Burrillville RI.

      Not sure how it's possible for you guys to send a 674.75 dollar bill to collections when you didn't even send me a bill. I literally said I was only trying this out that for 2 week trail, which I paid for upfront. Then you guys offering a discount, a cheap rate at a dollar a month or something like that, but then you get me in there and tell me I have to have an account for a year to get that rate. SMH. Now, how am I supposed to dispute something on my credit. I do not suggest to ever go to that establishment because you will be lied to. I was told I could cancel at anytime. Well, that was a lie because they say they never said that. I tried to dispute it with internal credit systems that they sent it to and he hung up on me. SMH.

      This place is ridiculous. They do NOT tell you that they won’t cancel unless you’re moving or injured. Expect multiple random charges on your account, along with the bi-weekly charges. I paid for 4 training sessions, $160. I was then charged $40 bi-weekly for training when that was not what I told would happen. They tried to make me pay $500 a month for training, and laughed in my face like it was funny. Absolutely the worst mistake, now having to pay $500 to cancel training that I did not ask for.

No one ever answers the office phone and they are terrible at returning phone messages. Month to month membership means month to month membership, but not in their world.

      I went to the gym and the owner accuse me of inappropriate touching just by shaking it somebody’s hand while greeting them as well as giving somebody their phone while they were walked while they were taking up two machines. This is slander. This manager by the name of Matt is inappropriate and the accusations are inappropriate. I will sue him to the fullest extent of the law. He is incapable of running and managing the gym. The gym is dirty. It hasn’t been clean continuously. The only time I clean is once a Week. OK there’s an adequate systems. They don’t dust the weights. They don’t respect people that use the machines. None of the weights are re-rack or put away. Nothing is enforced in place. One of the bathrooms lock is broken.

      This is a nasty gym and can be run better. I could run it. It’s 60 times better than he can. He’s incompetent and somebody needs to actually addressed his Matthew S, accusations of accusing members of slamming down weight when doing deadlifts, which is not true to break the floor. He treats his staff like crap. He should be fired.

      Got a membership and started a training program in September. Was NOT made aware that the training program was a 12-month contract. I had to dig through my emails to find the paperwork for this contract, which I was never showed by the way upon "signing". The signatures for the cancellation terms which requires you to pay for the remaining half of the contract were waived without my consent. I was never showed these terms that had to be signed on. I wasn't even aware that there was a contract until I tried to cancel.

      My initial impression was at the program was paid by weekly and could be canceled anytime. There was and I repeat NOT ONE Time that I was told or even presented with paperwork that I was locked into a contract until going to cancel and already being trapped in the contract. Anytime Fitness will refund me the $480 that I've been charged over the last 2 weeks without being properly informed. I will NOT be doing this buy out garbage to get out of the contract that once again I did not even know I was in until going to cancel. I am going to be canceling my membership as well due to the dishonest used car dealership-like tactics that got me into this.

      If this is not made right I will be taking legal action. Paperwork that I was not even given the opportunity to review was signed without my consent which I'm pretty sure is grounds for forgery. The training sessions were great. I really hate to have to write review like this. But this is just unacceptable. And I will take every avenue possible to make this right.

      This place is often used just for the showers, especially at night. If you don't mind the smell of sharing confined space with homeless people while working out, this is the gym for you.

      I was a member of Anytime Fitness for a year, paid all my fees and ended my membership, until everything became a nightmare. I checked my credit card statement and for a month, I was charged $50 (a month membership fee) without my consent, after I ended my contract with the gym. Very confused, I got a hold of my credit card customer service. They informed me, Anytime Fitness created a virtual token which means they can charge my credit card, even if my credit card is new and the gym doesn't know about it. I called Capital One and asked to end my contract with the gym. After ((4)) new credit cards without the gym knowing of them, they STILL charged my card. Extremely frustrated and frankly very pissed off, I tried to get a hold of the gym by phone number and e-mail several times with no response. I wanted a refund for payments I did not authorize and I was stuck.

      Finally, I got a hold of my credit card company and was transferred to a senior executive financial specialist. I explained my situation and claimed fraud again on Anytime Fitness. This time I (cancelled), my membership and wanted a refund for my payments I didn't authorize. I did get them and he did help me. I guessing Anytime Fitness finally got the message that I wanted to (cancel) my membership. As of today, I am not charged with any payments from the gym; thank God!

      To avoid a situation like this (and you could get into one), AVOID ANYTIME FITNESS!!! They charge your bank account without your authorization, they create a virtual token without you knowing about it, and they don't know how to pick up a phone or respond to emails. They are a very greedy, unprofessional, terrible, and piss poor company wanting your money, and are behind the far back door extremely sneaky getting it.

      Beware! This company has a lot of small print.... and a very long contract that they are hoping you don't read in its entirety. Let me help you .... Don't be in a rush to sign like we were...! The representative won't be upfront about the contract .... They leave little tidbits out such as a $54 gym enhancement fee every 6 months added to your payments. Let me explain.... I had a car wreck which led to surgery. I am unable to workout due to an injury. I went to the gym twice before I was told I needed surgery .... I emailed them to cancel after explaining that I would need surgery.

      According to their contract: "You must be dead or permanently disabled to cancel." Strange.... but here is where you realize this gym is NOT the place for you. There's other gyms that gives more bang for your buck. You must cancel 30 days in advance AND the penalty is 50% of what you owe or $300 whichever is greater. From conception the fees were $38.49 biweekly @39 weeks. Total for 39 weeks beginning in August would be $1501.00 total.... TWO months into the contract I'm told my balance is over $1500 🤣. MORE than the ORIGINAL balance although they received all payments up to date. ...

      Wait for it.... They are charging two $54 fees for gym enhancement.... which somehow adds up to $181.49.. for a gym I WON'T be using AFTER I cancel the contract. So why am I being charged for that again? For the $80 a month.... THIS GYM IS TINY. Parking is a joke. Equipment is jammed atop equipment.... Their toilet/shower combination is ridiculously uncomfortable.... No lockers just cubby holes. Every bit of equipment is sitting flush to the equipment next to it. Cross training ability is a joke here since there's ONE of every machine except treadmills and elliptical.... They claim peak hours are in the evening but the space is so small it ALWAYS feels crowded!

      Other places are a lot cheaper! Larger! And offer more for your money.... Plus the contracts are not sketchy with interchangeable interpretations. Nowhere does the contract speak of paying gym enhancement fees to cancel. I mean why would I pay to enhance a gym that I'm no longer a member of? Attempting to charge FUTURE DUES AND THE TOTAL BALANCE left? Basically charging me TWICE because they wanted a 30 day notice to cancel... which was originally given Sept 6th. I can't speak for other anytime gyms but this particular one is not worth the trouble or money they charge.... God forbid you get injured and are unable to workout out....

      I joined Anytime Fitness a year ago. Then came down with some serious medical issues. When I went in to cancel my membership, the manager told me I would need a note from my doctor. Since when do you need a doctor's excuse to end a membership for anything? This isn't high school. I sincerely doubt she will even cancel it and I shouldn't have given her my FOB.

      I was a loyal member of Anytime Fitness Washington for over 10 years and even stayed on during COVID to help support them so they wouldn’t go out of business. When I finally needed to cancel, the experience was terrible. They absolutely would not work with me unless I came in person during business hours. That’s impossible for me—my husband is a quadriplegic, and between work and his care, I can’t just drop everything to come in when they demand it.

      It’s ironic—I joined this gym because it’s supposed to be a 24-hour facility that fits busy and unusual schedules. Yet when it comes to canceling, they don’t allow the same flexibility. For a place that promotes convenience and accessibility, their customer service was anything but. After a decade of loyalty, I was treated with zero understanding. Total BS. Horrible customer service and contacting Better business bureau.

      Moved into the area looking for a gym, thought I would give Anytime Fitness a try. A lady we will call her Mrs M told me they had 2 options one with a contract and the other without. I told her I was not looking for a contract just something I could do month to month. She said it would be around 35.00 per month but that there was a 40 dollar sign up fee. She said she can waive the fee if I wrote a good review. Which, she had me do right on the spot. I thought 35 a month for a gym with no pool no sauna no activities just free weights and cardio machines was an ok deal. Besides I didn't need much. Come to find out after a month of being there she was charging me around 35.00 every 2 weeks. So I go in to cancel since this was not what we agreed. Now all of a sudden she says that im late 34.00 something and that she cannot cancel and that I signed a contract, when this is the opposite of what I agreed to.

      At the time I thought I was putting my banking info on file for automatic payments and giving authorization for it. Creating an account and doing a Google review for her. Now, she says that I signed a contract and is trying to lock me into something I did not agree to. And saying that it will be sent to collections for 35.00. Do yourself a favor, do Not Use this company. You are better off somewhere else. I know times are hard, but lying to people to get customers is just plain wrong. Not to mention I only used the place 4 times in a month. Worst decision I made was trusting her. Much better gyms out there, with way better equipment. And people that don't take advantage of you. What started off as a simple and easy process, ended up horrible and hurting me for years to come. Let's do better people. You really take advantage of people for 35.00? Wow!

      I am filing a formal complaint regarding the Bayshore, FL Anytime Fitness location. On multiple visits, the facility has had severe water damage and a strong, persistent odor consistent with mold or standing water. The smell has been so strong that it was difficult to work out, raising serious concerns about indoor air quality and overall sanitation.

      After reporting these conditions through normal channels, employees at this location used badge scan records to identify me and then aggressively confronted me in person, telling me to stop complaining because it “made them look bad.” The employee immediately used profanity, was visibly agitated, and behaved in a manner that was both intimidating and unprofessional. While I can understand the human element behind frustration, it is entirely unacceptable to direct that behavior toward a paying member—especially from someone who has been at the gym only a short time—when I have been a member in good standing for four years. This amplified the insult and further eroded trust. The public and paying members deserve a safe, sanitary environment and the ability to raise legitimate health concerns without fear of retaliation or harassment.
