Background I was a multi-event endurance athlete who trained and raced competitively for nearly three decades. I'm now 65 years-old and still pursue challenging health and fitness maintenance goals. Weekly, my aerobic (i.e., cardio) exercise consists of four different cycling days and a total of 100-140 miles ridden, and three different days of 2-hour sessions of anaerobic (i.e., strength) exercise primarily using heavy barbells and dumbbells. I've maintained fitness gym memberships for the past 47 years, and have never experienced a "one-size-fits-all" facility and amenities that met all of my needs. Consequently, I use multiple gyms on a weekly basis, which includes this Anytime Fitness (AF) gym in Long Beach (LB). AFLB is a gem and an outlier given its distinct quality differences when comparing local area gyms. AFLB | Environment I intuitively feel or see sought-after quality differences in this gym's environment, which is more private, personalized, clean, comfortable, calm, quiet, and uncrowded. Member common areas are exceptionally orderly and hygienic, including the well-maintained, single use only, unisex restrooms and/or shower rooms. The environment reflects a truly optimized, compact space design whose systems/functions/features are thoughtfully integrated and organized, which ensures an efficient and effective use of my time and energy. This environment feels like it's my personal gym, so I feel significantly more committed, disciplined, and focused and therefore more productive, which aren't routine experiences for me as a member of multiple other fitness gym brands. AFLB | Equipment Members will generally find enough equipment in this gym to achieve many different cardio and/or strength objectives. The equipment available is modern in design/features/functions, in excellent condition, and well-maintained. I've never seen any equipment designated for repair and therefore not available for use. AFLB | Culture Management and/or members generally demonstrate respect for this facility and the amenities provided given the routine quality conditions and productivity I've experienced when using this gym. Other members proceed through their fitness regimens in a disciplined and focused manner, so they facilitate the benefits of an efficient and effective use of my time and energy too. There's an atmosphere or a vibe whereby member actions or behaviors honor respect for people principles: floor space and/or equipment isn't monopolized by others; floor space isn't cluttered by personal items, equipment, or left behind debris/trash, and instead is readily available, shared, and clean; equipment is used, then wiped down, and left in a ready state for the next member's use; after member use, equipment is placed back in an orderly, organized, and safe manner; and single use only, unisex restrooms and/or shower rooms are generally left in a tidy and sanitary state. There is an accountability vibe whereby management and members embrace or accept personal ownership for 1) a respectful use of the facility and amenities provided and 2) respect for people principles. AFLB | Special Needs Individuals Requiring a Modified Environment and Exercise or Training This fitness gym has a unique volume of different equipment that I've also seen in physical therapy or rehabilitation services environments. Given the different equipment types available, and the distinct quality differences I described for this gym's environment, I would also recommend this gym for those who require a modified environment for exercise or training. Individuals with physical limitations or disabilities, those who must modify functional training exercises to enhance daily living skills, or others using cardio and/or strength training for rehabilitation purposes should consider a membership in this gym. read more

sometimes I'll come to this anytime fitness when I'm in the area so just thought I would review it!! there's a lot of parking outside especially since it's in a bigger plaza with other businesses. since this is one of the newer AF locations, all of the equipment inside is very new and modern, and always in working order. the space is very clean and well-kept. they have a handful of bathrooms and showers in the back of course, and those are also cleaned regularly. there's really everything you need here to get a good workout in, however I wish they would add a hip thrust machine! that would complete it! I know that have that little hip thrust "helper" thing where you load your barbell and use it to lie your back on, but no actual machine. ever since I started using a machine for hip thrusts, the workout has been much easier so that's why I'm all for those machines now lol. but all in all this is still one of the better AF locations. read more

I am so disappointed in this gym i really wanted to like it. There is never workers here. I was followed outside the gym by a masked man and no workers in sight. After this incident i tried to check in and my pass wasn't working. I tried to contact the gym at around 4:30pm no one at the gym to help me out, for about 30 min i tried calling all numbers available no answer. Seriously so frustrating & unacceptable. Ladies please beware!! i don't know what his intentions were. read more

Anytime Fitness - anytime fitness - Gyms Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm genuinely impressed with how Anytime Fitness handles feedback. In a world where so many businesses either ignore or brush off negative reviews, they do the opposite they listen. When concerns come up, they don't just give a generic "we're sorry" reply. They actually take the time to understand the problem, address it directly, and make real changes to improve the experience for everyone. It's refreshing to see a company that views criticism as an opportunity instead of a threat. You can tell they truly value their members and take pride in keeping the gym clean, functional, and welcoming. Anytime Fitness has earned my respect for not only acknowledging issues but taking the initiative to make things right and that's why they've earned my loyalty. Thanks guys read more

I have been to this gym over a couple years already and this by far is my favorite gym I've ever been to. It's always clean and never packed. I can get my workout in uninterrupted. I have always been training with phoebie for a few years now and she is very patient and knowledgeable. She is encouraging and knows when to push you to be at your best. When I first started working out I didn't know what I was doing or where to start but now I feel confident and have improved my form/technique over the years thanks to her. Overall, I definitely recommend checking this gym out and training under her if you're ever interested. read more

I have been a member and have been training at this facility for over a year. I was fortunate enough to find the best Personal Trainer I've ever trained with here. I've been training under the expert guidance of Phoebie Fuentes for over a year now. My transformation has been AMAZING. I went all in on nutrition and show up every week. She also happens to be one of the most kind and enthusiastic people I know. It's a true pleasure working with her! As long as she offers her incredible training, I will show up and train with her. Stop THINKING about it and just reach out to Phoebie. Best investment you will ever make. read more

With 2025 approaching, it's time to get in shape! I've heard amazing things about Anytime Fitness, and I can't recommend it enough based on my experience with David. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and very willing to answer any questions I had about the contract, which gave me a lot of confidence. I also found the equipment to be well-maintained and the facility clean, making my workouts enjoyable. Whether you're a beginner or a fitness enthusiast, this gym has everything you need to reach your fitness goals. Be sure to ask for David; I found him to be both informative and welcoming. read more

Excellent gym. Very few people at night. Very clean and organized. Music is not too loud. Almost all weights are racked.

I love this gym. My wife and I have been members from day one of opening. The staff manager David has done a great job with this facility keeping the facility clean and well managed. The trainers John and Phoebe are there willing to help if you should have any tips or questions. They also have a physical therapist on site named Roland that my wife used and really enjoyed his services. read more

My favorite Anytime location! Clean, lots of great equipment for weightlifting. I really appreciate having multiple racks for barbell exercises!! I don't usually have to wait for anything. Lots of wipe stations that always have wipes. Clean bathrooms. Members pretty much all seem to be considerate and just focus on their own workouts. The snack/drink area is awesome too. read more

Nice spacious club. Friendly staff. Very clean. This just opened up located in a nice plaza. It has plenty of parking.. I like the seating area with tables and they have physical therapist on site. They also have a self serve nutrition bar. read more

Anytime Fitness - Clean gym - Gyms Near Me - Long Beach, California

I haven't been a member for very long. Yet, two years ago, I decided it was time to become active and get healthy. I joined through my insurance and have been very pleased. I would say, personally, that they are very friendly and very helpful. I can be overly nice and a chatter box, and openly admit I don't know much about working out. However, they didn't seem to think any of my questions were intense. They also made me feel that my goals were obtainable. I can't speak for others, but I feel safe and love the purple security key. If my boyfriend and family didn't have other memberships, they would join me. Also, I haven't been much of a exercise person in decades (YES!) However, I love it now! I also needed more than one location when I traveled. So, for now, it is a win :)! Side note: I am older and don't feel like an outsider or ashamed to workout; hope that helps! read more

I was interested in joining and spoke with David and John. As a retired man, I watch my budget. I was reminded that i may have benefits through my insurance. I joined through the "Silver & Fit" program at no cost to me. Who does this in these times? I joined the classes John coaches and haven't felt this good in years!! Come Anytime! Stoodis! read more

This place is a shady gym. Definitely not a Physical therapy office if you come here for Physical therapy walk away.

This place just opened but this is my favorite place to work out already. It's super clean, intimate, and a retreat from the big box gyms. I used to go to another really nice gym in Belmont Shore but some family changes and a move made the drive unpractical. I basically looked at every fitness center in my area and none had the mix of cleanliness, a great assortment of equipment, and a community feel. Definitely excited to see how they continue to evolve and it's worth every penny. read more

Private members only club. Friendly. Clean. Cardio. Strength. Weights. Turf. Great location. read more

See all

When I came into sign up, David seemed shady and kinda kept avoiding the question of what my contract would include. He signed me up for a contract without my consent and just pushed me out of the conversation when I hesitantly agreed and paid for everything. Do not come here, you literally won't know what you're signing up for. read more

Had been waiting for this gym to open and I am so glad I joined. It's affordable, brand new equipment, very clean, air conditioned the staff is great, very friendly, positive, up best, and easy to approach if you have any questions. Personal trainer-John is awesome, knowledgeable and experienced in his profession. He really takes the time to listen and hear any complaints or concerns you may have regarding exercising and nutrition. He motivates and pushes you just enough to help achieve your fitness goals. The app is also a great tool. Looking forward to seeing what new things they will have to offer as they grow. read more

Love this gym! Very clean and private. It doesn't get busy and packed so I can get a full workout in no problem. It has plenty of equipment and private restrooms and showers. The body scan machine is really useful too! read more

This is a new gym that just opened. It's clean with a large assortment of equipment. Plenty of parking. David, the manager was very helpful when I signed up. John, a trainer, is very knowledgeable and designs your workout based on your abilities. Excited to be continuing with them. read more

I went to check out this place since it is by my house. I knew it was free the first two weeks by looking online. The manager David helped me sign up for a membership, I did not ask how much the membership plans were which was my mistake but David didn't even offer to tell me what he was signing me up for. He signed me up for a whole year. He was a little sketchy looking as if he knew he was hiding something. A few days later I had life situation where I needed to cancel my membership because I am moving. They wanted to freeze my account instead. But I obviously need to cancel since I am moving. David kept sending me a email about a personal trainer consultation instead after every message I sent about cancelling. He was rude over the phone when I was confused he kept replying that way, and was like the owner might do it for you? and said alright bye. In the end, my point is the long beach spot is very bad at communication, they're independently owned. And in my opinion I realized its too expensive, and as a girl I wouldn't want to come here without any other employee because someone can be waiting or watching me and there will be no staff after 8pm which is when I like to go to the gym. read more
