i recently participated at the "beauty and the beast" challenge here at the ellijay anytime fitness gym. i am a 300 lb, 67 year old with 2 artificial knees, 2 metal rods in my lower back, a metal plate in my neck, a fist full of clamps and screws holding it together, and both rotator cuffs in my shoulders are torn beyond repair. as the resident "beast" in a room full of beauties, i wanted to take a moment and thank all of you for your help and assistance. coming into a gym for the first time in 50+ years is "entertaining" to say the least! coming to the gym into a room full of determined women is very interesting... ... and being that solitary raisin in the rice puddin' - - - well, thank you ladies, you all made it a little easier, and laughter is always a welcome sound. frankly, i had no idea what to expect - but was pleasantly surprised at the camaraderie and mutual help you gave each other, and this old cave bear. you laugh together, you giggle, you can all mimic the universal "awww sheeet" with amazing accuracy! you share recipes, you joke, you help each other clean up and put your toys away - - - it was great to see how well you play together. hell, libby even taught me that dance of the devil called "single single double double"! in particular i want to thank heidi heidi dahlberg george and theresa theresa b braswell for - - - nothing! you see, i went into this with a determination to do ~~ nothing different ~~ other than this class. i did nothing different about my diet. i did nothing about buying the latest dehydrated kale and guacamole diet pills... i did nothing about mixing a whole grain and fermented yak butter smoothie... i did nothing different about my daily schedule... i did nothing different about my exercise program ( 'cause i never had one) i did nothing about getting up at day break to go walk in the park or do laps in the pool. i did nothing about buying a pink neon spandex workout onesie ( for which all should be grateful) i did nothing about buying a new pair of keds... i did nothing different except go to this class with my beautiful bride and listen to heidi, theresa, and all you beauties and i lost more than 12 pounds and quite a few inches! so, when i say, "thanks for nothing" - - - i mean it from the heart! i did nothing different and what you did for me was the only change. nothing else was a factor, nothing else was added, nothing affected the outcome other than your help and friendship. thank you all, thank you heidi and theresa read more

Started working out here a few months ago after changing gyms. The gym has clean bathrooms, plenty of equipment options, and friendly staff. The staff are friendly and I do not have to worry about my belongings while I workout. I have left several towels and shirts to come back a few days later and find them neatly set to the side for me to pick up. Mark is an excellent trainer. He is fun to work with and knows how to get results. I have had nothing but a positive experience working out here. read more

I have been a member of this gym for several years and it is FANTASTIC!! The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable! They offer several great classes as well! Whenever I have a question there is someone there to help with a smile on their face! The gym is always IMMACULATELY clean! There is a new owner whom really seems to take pride in the place and seems to be doing everything right and listening to what his members want! I can't say enough good things about this facility read more

I have been a member over 2 years! I go 5 or 6 days a week. They honor my Medicare so I pay nothing. I thoroughly enjoy Anytime Fitness. The temp has always been comfortable. I also use one of their " extra" fans that keeps me even cooler. Anytime fitness is so very very clean. They are very attentive to their members. If you need something just ask Heidi! She's the best! The equipment is great & so are the members & staff! I LOVE Anytime Fitness in Ellijay. read more

Greatest gym I've worked out at. For sure the best gym in ellijay and in my opinion one of the best gyms around, because you get access to a gym in pretty much any town, anytimes are all over the place. The staff is amazing also the owner is a great guy willing to help and get to know his customers and takes everyone's ideas into consideration when redesigning the gym. Nothing but good things to say about this place!!! read more

This is a great facility. It is "user" friendly. The users are of all ages so you will feel this is a place to start or complete your fitness quest! My quest is to be able to have good cardiovascular workouts; my husband's, is to stay fit and firm. We both love the layout, the staff, the atmosphere, and the fun that encourages each person there. It is good for mental health as well!! read more

I received a trial membership on Monday, after speaking with Heidi earlier. I work crazy hours and had to check it out during different times of the day. I loved it so much that I went ahead and started my membership before the trial period ended. It's a very cool place. And I felt that Heidi was very knowledgeable and upfront about costs, etc. Great deal and great people! read more

Best place to workout, with many options even if you go out of town with many locations all over! Best gym in Ellijay hands down! The facility is always updating with the most recent expansion, so plenty of room to move around and activities to do! The staff is great and super friendly, and the owner listens to the customers and does his best to give us what we want. read more
