This is one of my favorite anytime fitness gyms! I've lived in many different cities and this is an excellent anytime. They have all of the equipment you'd need and still plenty of areas for free weights/stretching etc. So glad they have a booty builder hip thrust machine - game changer and super uncommon among anytimes. Everyone I've talked to working here has always been super helpful and kind. read more

It's still my favorite gym in Chico. I left for a few months for reasons not connected to this gym's excellence. I'm back and happier than ever. The machines are in a convenient order for working various body parts together (i.e., leg day, bi's and tri's day, etc.), and they are marked with what body part is worked on each machine. They have trainers on staff. The other patrons are nice and/or they mind their own business. There's plenty of parking. read more

So....if you're on the Yelp page, on the right side there is a button for a free 7 day pass. Go to the website and, weirdly, it says it's a 1 day pass. Weird and not really standard. Most gyms I've been to do a 3 to 7 day pass but ok. I signed up on the website for the pass to try the gym and a few minutes later I get a FOLLOW UP email stating THEY DONT HONOR the 1 day free pass to try to gym. So not only is it not 7 days like it says on the Yelp page (and like MOST other Anytime Fitness), THEY DONT HONOR ANY TRIAL. You can't even try the gym to see if you want to sign up. Seems like this franchisee is cheap, and I have to wonder what Anytime corporate thinks about that. BOOOOO CHICO ANYTIME FITNESS. read more

I am a working professional, I often travel for work. I was already a member at another anytime fitness location. I travel back and forth between San Francisco and Chico, for work. I was immediately surprised by the lack of experience, the unprofessionalism, rudeness, self defensiveness, and poor business manners at this location. He told me that because I was at the Chico gym a couple times week my price to keep going when in town, would be 55$/month. My current price at my (home base) anytime fitness is nicer, the staff is friendlier, the gym is larger all for 25$/month. For this reason I specified to him there would be no reason for me to not get an in motion membership for 60$ dollars a month, with endless equipment, saunas, multiple level gym, jacuzzi, pool, and overall a huge place with polite staff. When I explain this to him, I said " you see why you would lose costumers over this" he became visible upset and started trying accuse me of "fighting" for pointing out facts, and informing him of lost costumers. Even more so surprising to me, is what a rip off, the gym is entirely to small; the treadmills often not working. And they want 55$ a month for a a tiny gym that does not even offer enough equipment. Essentially it seemed that manager does not like smart, and fit women who are aware of when someone is trying to rip you off. It certainly seemed like a discrimination towards smart and fit females. Prior to this happening, when I was using the gym in Chico, he was seeking out female attention and made me feel uncomfortable, I avoided him, due to his rudeness and treatment towards women. He also did not represent the gym environment well, I would not describe him as fit. Because of all of this I have had a bad experience at this gym. The lack of professionalism and kindness towards their customers. Seems the managers ego is the highest priority. Overall their loss, if they can't listen feedback or costumers, then the business is doomed at least in Chico. read more

Called and cancelled membership in November, was assured it was cancelled and no further charges, two new charges have appeared in December and when contacting them, they say I have to give thirty more days notice and are going to charge me again in January, very dishonest, would not recommend giving them any business. read more

Any review you read that says Jason OR Maria are "rude" or "bad" people is ridiculous. Chances are, the people who wrote those reviews were the ones who were rude or having a bad day. Jason and Maria are 2 of the most caring genuine people and gym owners I know! Every time you walk into that gym you instantly feel welcomed. If you're a newcomer to the gym, no problem! The owners will be so excited a new member is joining, and will make you feel right at home in their office! Maria and Jason are caring gym owners who keep this place sparkling clean, updated (new equipment all the time), and in order. I made the switch from NSfit to Anytime around February of 2017 and I've never looked back. I've even recruited a couple of my NSfit friends over to Anytime! This gym is SO much cleaner and nicer compared to any other gym in town. There are always full spray bottles and towels at EVERY machine to wipe down after use. Overall if I could rate this gym 100 stars, I would! The vibe and energy in Anytime is unmatchable, and you will not find this environment anywhere else in Chico! read more

Great gym. I have no complaints. Great staff, very helpful and friendly. It has been a very positive experience so far.

I can appreciate a gym that's open 24/7. Thank goodness. For the prices, the gym could be better. Comparing it to southern California which have cheaper priced gym and have just as much as this gym or more. I appreciate all the cable pull machines that they have it's a decent amount for that size gym. I would appreciate there be more adjustable benches that would be helpful. Also there needs to be more racks for the dumbbells there are not enough Racks for all the dumbbells. sometimes people just leave it right in front of the rack and they just pile up there. I don't use the showers here but they do have showers in this gym if you were interested in knowing. Overall this gym is alright. read more

Absolutely love it. People that have problems with contracts don't read thoroughly or understand them fully, I feel. So don't feel bad asking for clarification. Super clean, always. It is a small gym which could be tough for some, but that works great for me as I am not a "peak time" gym-goer. They have great equipment and add newness regularly to stay current which I love. I travel for work so anywhere there is an Anytime, I go. This Chico location is by far the cleanest, and the staff is extremely friendly and professional. read more

I LOVE MY GYM! I have a two year membership and it's gonna be my second year in a few months. I love how I can go WHENEVER I want, I'm a night person so late night work out sessions are for me. The gym is always clean and the owners are super nice and always looking at ways to improve an already amazing gym. I would HIGHLY recommend a membership here and you can access any gym with your membership so when I go back home to San Diego I can still go to the gym whenever I want at no extra cost! read more

Well equipped gym. All you need for a full workout. Clean and friendly staff. Knowledgeable and experienced staff.

Don't know what was worse, dealing with those owners or that ran down gym. Never been treated like that as I'm trying to spend my money at an establishment! Save your time and money and go elsewhere! Owners are rude & not worth the money. read more

I give Anytime Fitness 5 stars!!! Had a problem with my membership. Julio was fantastic!!! Courteous very smart ! He knew what he was doing!!! It's sooooo nice to deal with smart people I give Julio 5 Stars! read more

not worth the money, They had me sign an 18 month contract saying I would get a better rate, which I did not (payed 41 a month). Then when I canceled my membership they told me it was policy to charge for the next month despite I was out of contract at that point. The owners seem to use this place as a friends hang out spot, just chilling on equipment and seem negative if your not one of their daily regulars. read more

The best staff I've ever delt with, always a clean gym. Jason and Maria have done a phenomenal job at building this gym up to what it is today along with the personal trainers they've had. Their staff is very friendly and they will always greet you with a smile on their face. They accommodate for mostly all lifting/training styles and I've never had a real negative experience here which is a plus considering I've been here over a year and a half now. The new expanded gym is more than enough room aside those very occasional busy times. They have a wide variety of lifting/training equipment and accessories along with cardio equipment. I highly suggest this gym! read more

I travel for work and have been to many anytime fitness' all over the country. This is one of the good ones. Great people - staff and members and just a good clean atmosphere to get a workout in. read more

A good gym in terms of equipment and cleanliness without the packed crowds of the 'other gym' in town. You can go in at 11PM, 3AM, 7AM, 5PM, or whatever you like. Plentiful private/lockable bathrooms half with built in showers. Like many gyms however, there were some misunderstandings/mixups on term lengths on signup, issues with cancellation, technical and hiccups. However after learning of the circumstances of my non-attendance and essentially when I was 'fed up' with things, they have assured me that they will make things right. It is just unfortunate that a resolution was required to begin with. The unfortunate illness and death of my father forced me to move and changed my life in a way (ie zero free time) that caused me to no longer attend. When at first I tried to end my membership, I found it was a 12-month rather than the 3-month contract I was under the impression of signing up for. When I signed and initialed each part of the contract, at the last one it said "Contract Term __ Months" and apparently there was a technical issue causing the number not to 'populate' but I was assured everything was fine. At the very top nowhere near where I was asked to sign / review the contract type reads '12 Months Gold EFT' (after all is said and done and I get an email copy of the contract in .pdf). I did not find this out until I tried to end the membership after moving and ending all my bills at the old place (Chico, CA, incl. this gym membership). This is a crucial step they need to work on if it hasn't been addressed. There are things you must be aware of and careful of (and this goes for all contract-type things these days esp gyms) however. When you are doing the signing and initialing - make them confirm the contract length and have them show you on the contract where it is and that it is actually there, versus 'not populated'. This could be due to the gym being relatively new when I signed up and the customer-signup process not being refined enough with the things that should be made clear - made clear. After you sign up and you decide to cancel your contract without a really good reason that you can prove - you have to 'buy out of it' at approx half the remaining cost. This is pretty standard. So if it was 12-month contract and you are 6-months in - you would have to buy out half of the remaining 6-months, or pay 3 full months to get out. This is true as of this writing but may change as each gym is franchised and essentially the rules are made by the owner/operators. It apparently takes 30 days for a cancellation to take effect through corporate. And a pending/processing charge is done through corporate and so-too cannot be stopped. Be aware of this. Nonattendance will not get you your money back. If you have extreme circumstances requiring a move and the like, they will work with you if you talk to them. But if you have nothing preventing you from coming then it is on you - you will still be charged as it takes up slots (they have a ceiling on the number of people they can have signed up - a sort of maximum occupancy if you will). But that's it. When it comes to the gym itself it was very nice during the 4 months I attended regularly. You got lock your own lockers that you can use, or cubby holes. There's plenty of clean microfiber sweat towels, though they could use a more aggressive, harder cleaning once in awhile. There's wipe-down liquid at every piece of equipment so you aren't hunting around for a spray bottle all the time. There is a virtual classroom where you can pick a workout type program on a screen and execute it, which is cool. There is an app you can download on your phone to que up songs of your choice for the in-house music playing, which was usually in good taste. The equipment is new and the treadmills are newer models with touchscreens and built in TV with a bunch of cable-like channels, with headphone jacks (bring your own phones tho), and very customizable incl incline and programs that simulate things like a hiking trail, etc. So yeah, be sure everything is kosher on the business end and you will not be disappointed in this gym. read more

In town for a few days and needed a place to workout. I found this gym nearby and was very pleased. It was clean, well run, staff was friendly, and the equipment was new and all well maintained. The drop in rate was 10 bucks which was reasonable as well. Overall, a great experience read more

Clean gym, new equipment, and open 24/7. Gym is a little small and parking sucks but they have plans to expand in the future. There are no locker rooms, pool, or sauna, so if you're looking for those things this place is not for you. They are a bit pricey for what you get compared to other gyms in town, but then you also get 24/7 access. read more

Where do I begin? I tried their 7 day free trial and got an email confirmation saying I was ready to go. I go into the gym but the front door was locked but there was people working out in there. I went in through the side door and was able to get in. That door was an emergency exit and I don't know how i got in through an emergency exit door from the outside but I did (great functioning gym, not!) I go in and sit on a machine. I sit there for about 15 seconds and this guy approachs me with a mean look on his face and says "no, no, no." I was so confused. Was I using his machine? Turns out he's the manager named Jason and tells me to go into his office. I was so surprised at his unprofessionalism. How about something like, "hey I saw you come in through the wrong door, can I help you?" It's not my fault your emergency door opens when it's not supposed to. Anyways, I go into his office and tell him I'm doing the free trial. He's like, that's only for the weekdays and it's a Saturday. The only people that can work out on the weekends are staff members or premium members or whatever. I told him that the email didn't say anything like that and that I essentially wasted my time getting ready for the gym and my gas money for nothing. He tried to tell me it was my fault because I should have called them. Why would I call if the email clearly said my trial started, it didn't say anything about only weekdays. He should have said, ok, that's on us, I'll let you work out today with the staff members or the premium members or whatever since it's our fault the email didn't go into specifics with the dates and times. Instead he booted me out and I didn't even want to go back because of this shitty experience. So unprofessional. read more

I love this gym! It is the cleanest gym that I have ever worked out at and the staff are amazing. I've previously lived in LA, where I frequently worked out at Crunch Gym, LA fitness, and a couple other small joints around my area. Although this gym is small, there is never that many people in there that would ruin your workout. I workout 6 days a week and always can find a spot to lift and jump rope in-between sets. I really appreciate how they provide towels for sweat and a many bottles of disinfectant to clean the equipment with. At Crunch Fitness, they started charging you monthly just to have a small towel. Cleanliness of a gym I believe is extremely important. I once got a flesh eating bacteria on my hands and neck from other gyms. It cost quite a pretty penny for a poor college student to deal with. I recommend this gym to everyone I meet who is looking for a great place to workout. read more

I tried to join this gym and was treated very poorly by the manager, Maria. She didn't smile or greet me warmly at all. It was like they didn't want new members. The option of working out for a week before joining sounded great but the hours available for that were minimal and would not work with my work schedule. Maria did not even tell me what the cost to join would be or what the workout options were. I walked in feeling excited about joining a gym and left feeling let down and angry. read more

I cancelled my membership before the next month was due and Jason asked if it was ok for me to pay for the last month since I cancelled 3 days before the next month. He was rude about me canceling and needed a reason, after we discussed my reason(moving) he was dismissive which was strange because usually he was nice when I would see him. It goes to show they will have nothing to do with you unless you are members of their gym and will try to charge you extra when you don't owe them. read more

I've been to many of the gyms in town, and this is the only one that seems to maintain itself in an exceptionally clean and organized manner. It is new, the equipment is good, and not too packed. Definitely the least grungy gym in town. read more

This is the best gym in Chico Ca. Maria & Jason (the owners) are extremely nice and helpful ! The environment is friendly & the gym is always kept up and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great gym with positive vibes ! Not to mention the gym is open 24/7 who doesn't love that ! :) read more

I liked the little gym. And when I mean little gym, it's literally small.. But I stopped going close to the end of my contract so I went in to make sure it would be cancelled instead of renewing itself. I called and left a voicemail for someone to get back to me about cancellation but after three days nobody called back. So I came in and I'm sure it's policy to ask why members are cancelling but employees should cap the limit on "advice". As I'm filling out the cancellation form, the employee asks me why i'm cancelling and as I proceed to tell her, her comment to me was, "Well I hope you do something." Do you say that to everyone, Anytime Fitness? Or just the unhealthy people? Then she proceeds to shut down my interest in a "month-to-month" plan by saying it won't help because it's a "lifestyle choice". Not to sound like a snowflake but those sorts of comments are not helpful or kind; They're shameful. So overall: cute little gym, but unprofessional assistance by the staff. read more

I have been a part of the exercise community for nearly fourteen years. I have frequented various health clubs, including Planet Fitness, Gold's Gym, In-Shape, Fitness Evolution, and have been a long term member of LA Fitness, and Fitness 19. This Anytime Fitness has been my favorite, thus far. It is the cleanest, and most cared for gym that I have been to, and continues to flourish with positive and motivational vibes. While it is not the largest gym, it remains equipped with anything that one would need, in order to accomplish whatever personal goals that are set forth. From cardio, to free weights, to an array of well maintained machines, it is legit. More importantly, is the sense of community surrounding this establishment. The owners (Jason and Maria) have managed to turn a fitness center into a place of belonging. I've never met two business owners who are more hands on, and family oriented with their enterprise. To me, this is especially supportive to those who are just starting their fitness journey. Their on site trainer (Sean) connects with his clients, not only on a physical, but mental level, ensuring a great report and excellent results. Whether it is weight loss, muscle gain, or overall health, this gym does not let down. Never have I felt so accounted for and appreciated, within any other gym. They rule. read more

Best gym in town! If you want a clean gym with friendly staff this gym is for you. I have recommended this gym to all of my fiends.
