First I want to start by saying I have been a member at this gym for 8+ years and haven't ever experienced this bad of customer service by anybody. Everything being said in this review are facts and I've got messages and proof of everything being said. It all started by me making a very clear statement on Facebook on one of my friends post not even on the anytime fitness page. I stated a fact that said that the new arrangements suck, which is very true, a lot of machines that don't require mirrors are in front of mirros, all the bench area and dumbbell area is packed and two people at most fit in that area while doing weights. This is a fact to me and a lot of other members yet it hasn't been addressed it's hard to workout somewhere that your opinion isn't considered especially being a paying member for years. Well I stated the opinion on my friends post and then the NEW MANAGER STEPHEN nerdy white bald guy with glasses wrote me a message on Facebook saying It was a dick move to write that on Facebook about the gym and said, "if you don't like it, don't come back, easy brezy." At this point I didn't understand why the new manager of this place was even messaging me if he isn't my friend on Facebook let alone has he ever tried talking to me in person. Well I tried to respond and clear enough he blocked me. So at this point I couldn't even get my 2 cents across and I was furious as any paying customer would be, so I wrote his ex GF according to her they are no longer together but that doesn't even matter or concern me so I don't know why she felt the need to tell me that, her gym her problems, I simply wanted to let her know what her manager was doing and that it needed to be addressed since he didn't allow me to reply to him. Well he then unblocked me a couple of days later just to react to some of my pictures with laughing emojis. At this point I was confused if I was back in middle school but then I thought not even in middle school did I deal with kids this this cowardly. Anyways, I was able to finally reply to him, I'm guessing he forgot to block me again, so I asked if he was stalking me and I forgot to mention I got a call from Rebecca which I had no idea who it was telling me my contract was over and I had to renew my contract or cancel. In the 8 years I never had to renew my contract I was always able to stay a month to member and this was the first time I've heard this, not just that was the issue I also was told my rates would be $37+tax, I was only paying $22 a month at this point. So I feel like I'm being made to cancel because this gym is not worth anything over $28 a month with the size of it and the old equipment it has. I told her that and she said things have to change, nobody likes change good or bad but it has to be done in order to keep moving forward, I forgot when it was the customers problem for the amount of money the business owner spent to get things going and fix previous issues because that's what her comment came across like. So I cancelled my membership, went in to cancel, Rebecca cancelled for me, when she called I could tell she didn't even know what to say, but of course I heard him in the background correcting some of her mistakes, I told her I would go later on to cancel, which I did and the manager Stephen was no where to be found of course so I wrote him that on Facebook, he responded with "Actually at lunch.. Funny you're key board warrior. I was laughing at your 10 likes where you think you look good.. But I guess you need that ego boost. Ehh hahahah so many ppl have messaged me calling you a pussy for your pist and not confronting me like a man. Guess you need a dick to be a man.." this is all copy and pasted from the Facebook message I still have. So of course he blocked me again so I couldn't respond so I wrote Lisa the owner and told her that her manager was out of hand. She didn't respond to me at this point so I did the only best next thing I could which was post a review on the Facebook page ( they either blocked me on the Facebook page or took it down completley) so i then wrote a post on the comments of there facebook which was still active at this point and told him id be there to confront him, surpring enough he wasnt there, so i told rebecca who had to open the door for me since the key didnt work anymore, so i told her to tell stephen i came by looking for him so finally i go to work and then i get told by the front desk girl where i work that somebody up front wants to talk to me, its a cop, after starting all this with me and saying i should say it to his face they call the cops on me... he never confronted me and did anything to prove himself the little bad ass he was pretending to be. I also paid the last month that they told me i had to pay $22 and the key no longer worked so they stole that money from me, since the cop advised me not to go back to that gym ill let them keep the money, theyll need it after the reviews hopefully. read more

So here's the thing, if you really aren't impressed with this gym you just don't understand what you're looking for. If you want to get in, hammer out a workout and go home this is a great place to be. Anytime lacks some of the equipment a lot of larger gyms will have, however they aren't necessary. If you can't get a great lift in with racks, dumbbells, and cables it probably says more about your knowledge level as opposed to the gym. They do have essentials (fly, shoulder press, leg extension, leg curl, preacher curl etc) as far as plate loaded machines go. Really the only piece of equipment I miss is a hack squat (which you can substitute with a barbell). As far as cardio equipment goes there is certainly enough based on the size of the gym and the general member load at any given time. They keep the place clean, in fact the staff is generally seen out on the floor cleaning hourly. (There's also a really nice lady who cleans in the morning, always says hello to me and goes out of her way not to get in any of the members ways) Good feel of community, and they have been actively putting time and money into the facility for over a year now. When I first joined in 2016, it was a little bit of a different story, but the older reviews should probably be ignored at this point. If you're like me, Anytime is perfect for you. read more

When I was 15 years old I was diagnosed with hypothyroidsm but the doctor only treated me for 3 months and never explained my health condition. After many years when I was 36 I discovered that I still have hypothyroidsm and this condition lasts forever. Since I found out I decided to take it as a second chance to live a new and so happy life. And then fitness came to my life. No matter where I am, I'll workout always. So this is how I found Anytime Fitness. That was the first time training without a trainer and I loved it!!! Everybody there was so helpful, kind and friendly. I met Makeyla, Roland, Joseph and Jill. All of them called me by my name and helped me anytime I needed it. I took the free fitness consultation they offer with Joseph and he gave me so much good sugestions of how to change my routine and how to eat healthier and according to my health condition. I'm so thankful to have joined Anytime Fitness and for all the good time I spent here!!! Next time I'll be back in the USA I definitely will workout here!!!! I recommend it more than a 100% Anytime Fitness Gainesville!!!! read more

In my opinion this gym is great and here's why. The staff is excellent. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, the gym is always clean and the equipment is well maintained. The location is extremely convenient for me as I live out of town but can be there within 15 minutes. Jill is my personal trainer and she is simply awesome!!! When I first joined the gym we discussed any health issues or specific concerns I might have. I have had issues in the past with back pain, knee pain and more recently diagnosed with a small tear in my rotator cuff. Of the 3 issues, the rotator cuff is the most problematic. However, since working with Jill I have less pain in that area and it feels so much better. She is aware of my limitations and consistently asks if I'm experiencing any pain or discomfort during our sessions. She's very attentive to my needs, always upbeat and displays genuine concern for my well being. In addition, I've recently discovered that I have other family members that belong to this gym as well. Anytime Fitness and Jill Thomas rocks!!!!! read more

Anytime Fitness Gainesville's staff is exceptional. The Owner, Lisa, truly cares about her clients. The training staff, especially Terron, are knowledgeable and always willing to help you with machines, ideas for exercises to reach your goals, and motivation. The facility has that family "small town" feel while fully stocked with all the machines, free weights, cardio equipment and fun extras like medicine balls, kettle bells, stretchy bands, mats, jump boxes, steps, etc. I am so glad I found this gem of a gym. read more

It's the perfect gym. All the space and equipment that one could need. Compact (cozy) enough to feel like home. Free of the pretense and posturing and suffocating corporate decor that ruin most brand name clubs. Staff that care more about your comfort and well-being than the dollars you might spend on some extra perk (like training). No pressure to talk to anyone or be anything other than precisely what you are. Just quiet smiles and a feeling of belonging. It's my sanctuary. read more

I've been a member for a couple years. This gym has improved tremendously since the new owners took over. I like to see the regular equipment upgrades and constant efforts to improve. It is a clean and pleasant place for seniors to keep fit as well as having plenty of equipment to challenge body builders. They have a very welcoming staff, and knowledgeable trainers. Jill in particular is helping me recover from a medical event and I am making great progress. read more

The facility itself is a little small compared to some of the other Anytime Fitness locations I've been to, but I think that's what I like most about it. You get to know the staff (who are very very friendly), and you become familiar with the regulars that attend. Will definitely be recommending the Gainesville location to my friends and family. 5/5 in my book. read more

this facility is making huge renovations! I couldn't be more pleased with my home gym. Although older the staff is friendly and always around to make sure the equipment is ready to use and clean. The bathrooms have been so much cleaner in the last year also! only two treadmills but they are BRAND NEW! I cant wait to see what else they have in store for us! read more

I love the 24\7 access and the ability to use any other gym as part of their network. Never heard of this before and during the holidays this was useful as I had to travel to the east coast for two weeks. Great staff and clean and the couple of facilities I've been to have been similar so it was easy to adapt my workout. read more

Best gym in town! Great professionalism and excellent TLC by the terrific staff who is always ready, willing and available to assist you. Oh and I forgot, gym is open 24/7, with 24/7 security. No excuse not to exercise, because you can adapt your schedule to your convenience! 10 STARS PLUS, PLUS, PLUS!!!!!! read more

I love this place. It's small, but has everything you could ever need. I honestly think the size is what makes this my favorite gym - it doesn't feel like big corporate impersonal place (like some other gyms in Gainesville if you know what I'm saying). Also the management and staff are super nice. read more

Been going here for 4 years and really enjoy it. It's got a little bit of everything group classes, free weights and really helpful staff. The personal training is some of the best I've seen in Gainesville and I've been to almost every gym in town. read more

Great place to workout at. It's always empty at the times when I need to get on the grind. Friendly staff and they are always willing to show me an exercise if I ever have a question. Highly recommend checking the place out read more
