Excellent, clean and friendly gym. Family oriented as well as private; all in a safe area. I've attended for a year already. Come on by and ask for Mike the manager. Tell Cynthia sent you. Cynthia Graham Ward Author of When Things Change read more

Getting a membership to Anytime Fitness was probably one of the smartest decisions I've made in a while! I had a membership at another large, chain gym - and used to get so annoyed and frustrated at how there didn't seem to be any off peak times. It was constantly crowded and it was a struggle to get any piece of cardio equipment or weights or benches. I found myself using the gym less and less because I couldn't fully utilize it. Anytime Fitness is probably the same distance away as my other gym. I will say though that it is small....but if you do not require classes and just need some cardio equipment, weights and machines, then this place is for you. I have gone after work and have been able to work out and do what I need to. It's never packed and even when there are people there, everyone is polite about sharing or working in and cleaning their benches/machines when they are done. read more

I love the fact, I can go anytime to the gym & it is always spotless. I have been there early morning hrs. and never had a problem getting on a machine. I love the fact, that it is close to my home. The staff is very polite and I never feel intimidated to ask a question. read more

Was intrigued by their 24/7 hours so signed up for a free trial online. Was running errands on a Saturday afternoon and was thinking about stopping by but wanted to make sure they were open so gave them a call. The rep who answered was friendly and told me that staff would leave in about 30 minutes but if I came in before then that would be okay. I asked about the hours and he said yes 24/7 but that the 7 day trial would only be free if you came in on non-peak hours which was I believe late morning and afternoons only. Other hours would cost $10 for those 7 days, which I found a bit odd for a trial. Errands ran over and couldn't make it that day. However, a couple hours later I get a text from that same person saying he's sorry he missed me but blah blah blah. I make a simple call about hours and you're already texting me, seriously? Seems like it's a company procedure as you had to reply 'STOP' to stop receiving texts, but I doubt that my phone number was stricken from their data servers. Big red flag. Had also signed up for a trial with their Union location (amazingly, they had equally concerning but *different* red flags) and mistakenly put the Colonia location into my nav app, as both were equal distances away. When I got there was unimpressed by what I saw outside as it was located in a thin portion of a strip mall. Through windows clearly saw a man stretching out on one of a few mats, which was kind of odd as most gyms respect their members' privacy, at least in that respect. Perhaps there was a spacious main area beyond that but between that and the phone call earlier didn't even think about venturing in. Last but not least, I then emailed the privacy manager for Anytime Fitness asking them to delete my account, as I get way more enough spam emails, calls and texts as it is. (Not sure if it was this location or their Union location or maybe just their hq but as that had red flags without me even starting a trial too, i'll give neither the benefit of the doubt.) They then emailed back saying that since I don't live in California they won't honor my request, which I can say after requesting opt outs from many companies large and small is a rarity. So just signing up for a free trial will likely get your email barraged with endless spam for years, and/or your data perennially bartered. As they just opened it's too early for reviews indicating charges past the cancellation date, making you jump through hoops to cancel, etc. But based on all these red flags plus the fact that I've yet to encounter a gym that didn't do so in this area, would be shocked if they don't eventually do that. read more

Clean, small and quiet place to workout, not a lot of people maneuvering for the equipment. Central location in town is a plus. Never had any issues with the management or how the place is run. This gym is great if you work off hours or an odd shift, unlike other gyms that market themselves as 24 hrs the equipment here is accessible 24/7. A++ read more

Today was my first visit to the Anytime Fitness location in Colonia, New Jersey. I've worked out in over 7 Anytime Fitness locations in the Northeast. This location is on the smaller side but has everything you need for a quality workout. There are approximately five treadmills, five ellipticals, and two bikes. When I arrived, just after 5pm, all of the treadmills were all being used; however, this did not last long. This location has an area for abs but does not have the virtual exercise studio area. They did have kettlebells but were light on some of the other newer gym equipment that I've grown to enjoy at other locations. The gym was very clean as the majority of the locations are. The equipment was all well maintained. The trainer was working out while I was there and she was obviously very knowledgeable about working out. She is someone that I would consider working out with if I lived nearby. The owner came over and introduced himself and welcomed me to the gym. I really liked this. He was very active on the floor and seemed to know the members that were there. The atmosphere at this location is excellent, very friendly and fun to work out there. I think this completely makes up for that the location is smaller than some of the other gyms that I've visited. I would absolutely come back the next time that I am in town and recommend that people nearby join Anytime Fitness of Colonia. read more

This is the cleanest gym I've ever been to. It's small and the peak hours aren't even as packed. They have all the equipment you need for a gym the size of a restaurant and they maintain it really well. Also it's right beside a Subway restaurant, Walgreens, and a sushi place (also a grocery store across the street) so errands is a must before or after the gym. Area has great potential for more things. The price is great for a gym that is clean and doesn't crowd at all. I have 2 gym memberships and I don't want to give this one up because I can come here when the YMCA closes. No pool, no courts, or saunas but still great! read more

I recently got a membership to Anytime Fitness in Colonia, which is the best option for a gym in this area. There are two other large chain gyms here that are always so crowded before and after work hours for both cardio and weights...which is why I ended up switching to Anytime. It's not as big and spacious as the other gyms, however I never have to wait for cardio/weight machines or free weights. All the equipment I used in the other bigger gyms I was able to find at Anytime. It is so easy to get in with your key, do your work out, shower if needed and leave with no distractions. The staff there is very helpful with questions about membership and even using machines/exercises. Safety is definitely important for this gym, they have safety/alarm necklaces for anyone that may be injured or older to use while working out in case they get hurt and need serious care. It was also very clean near all the equipment and in the bathrooms/showers. I didn't feel uncomfortable or gross using showers like before with so many people waiting and using. Overall, it's a very friendly, clean and easy place to get in - do your workout - and leave. read more

I've been going to Anytime Fitness in Colonia ever since it opened. There is simply no comparison to other fitness centers in the area. This club is clean, safe, and has all the equipment you could possibly need. The personal training is excellent, and there are always friendly faces to be found. If you are looking for a gym that is not at all intimidating, this one's for you! read more

Awesomely clean gym! I go to a ton of Anytime Fitness bc I travel for work. This is one of the better ones. The good: 1. Clean (and clean bathrooms and water fountains...which is rare to see at a gym!) 2. Good equipment (aside from the elliptical machine I was on today....handle peeling off). 3. Good WIFI....a must! The bad: not much. Aside from people who just don't know gym etiquette and decide to loudly talk on a cell phone and answer every call they get, like they are in a call center! Don't people know that even when other people have headphones on that we can still hear you?? Take your phone call outside. read more

Nice gym. Only 1 problem: very poor access to Garden State North. Will take 10 minutes residential driving to get to. Anytime fitness is wonderful though. I have been to many across the country. This is smaller than others I have been to. However I will say they have everything you need, the owner was friendly and introduced himself, the bathrooms are extremely clean, it is a very welcoming place. I just wish they were located more north and NJ had more Anytime fitness locations. It was my favorite gym to be a member of. read more
