My son and I were pretty excited to find something close from home. They're very welcoming, and my son indicated how he wouldn't be able to participate for a full year and they told him it was not a problem that he could exit out with no additional fees he joined as part of the monthly membership. I did it for the membership and the personal training as training went I found myself getting weaker and found out that I had breast cancer, which caused me to have to stop. I try to let them know about the situation and they said that I made an obligation and therefore I am fully obligated to the full year no matter my situation they are not sensitive to your needs. My son continued his membership, but they completely lied to him about being able to exit with no additional fees and backpedaled on their conversation. They're out for the money. Do not trust this establishment. read more

I had to freeze my account Travis was more than an understanding and helpful due to a health issue I will not be able to work out for several months I will miss Travis and the staff very much while on my healing hiatus and hope to return as soon as possible! read more

I tried other gyms before joining Anytime Fitness in Marion IA. Although some of the gyms I tried were nice facilities and had nice equipment as does Anytime, but they did not have the same atmosphere and caring staff as AF Marion. I have enjoyed being a member since 2012. I would not even consider going to another gym. The staff at AF Marion are the best. They make you feel welcome the second you step into the door, almost like family. Also, they take very good care of the facility and the equipment. If the equipment would happen to break or malfunction, Travis, Derrick or Kristy will see to it that it gets repaired as soon as possible. I am a little bit of a clean freak. The center has always been immaculately clean. Now, due to the pandemic, the staff works even harder to keep it more clean and sanitized. Also, I find the clientele at AF Marion very nice. Everyone is really polite and respectful of others. Many of them have become my friends who I enjoy carrying on conversations with while I am working out. I would highly recommend this fitness center to anyone. The place is second to none. Sincerely, Don Kethan read more

I'm almost afraid to write such a good review because if the area finds out what a good deal this place is, it might fill up... :) I visited this facility last night. Though I am a member of the 34th Street and Mount Vernon Road location, it's nice to switch it up a bit. I was told that this franchise and the Wiley Blvd location are owned by a different entity than Mount Vernon Road gym. It's interesting how a few things are a bit different. I like the upper body machines at this location - they are Lifeline brand. I plan to alternate between facilities just to take advantage of the differences and keep the body off guard. (I lifted at both CR and Marion last night). This gym is clean and the equipment is well maintained. There are even a few products up front that you can buy after hours simply by signing a clipboard. This location does seem to get a little busier at times but at 8:30 PM on a Friday, there were only a couple other people there. If you are able to adjust your schedule, you can often have the gym almost to yourself. :) I really like Anytime Fitness. If you want a low cost membership, clean and well maintained equipment, and are able to plan your own workout, you can save a lot of money and have an enjoyable time. read more

What an amazing find!! I've been searching for a gym and trainer that would not only accommodate where I am in my fitness journey but also have the right attitude and compassion for its clients. I've found both at Anytime Fitness. From the start Travis Salter showed care and integrity when I began my gym search and answered all my questions and listened to my fitness goals. He explained how to access the gym, the hours each day, and provided contact information if I had any questions or concerns. This is the gym y'all should join! I felt welcomed and part of the family right away!! This is an amazing gym!! I'm so glad I joined Anytime Fitness! Thank you Travis for all you do and continue to do. I appreciate you as a client and a member of the Anytime Fitness family! I then was lucky again when I started training with Derek Christy! We went over my goals, set a plan, and put it into action! I look forward to the workouts and encouragement he offers each time. Thank you for pushing me each workout and even doing the workouts along side me. If y'all are looking for a great trainer sign up with Derek! read more

Great rates, open 24/7, and the equipment is in great shape. I grew up in this area and have been a gym fanatic for decades. I have been to every single gym in town, and this is why I am currently attached to Anytime. They don't close for every holiday, they don't close for snow, they have to legally close for a power outage, and that is about it. The equipment works. If somethings breaks ( as it always will in a gym) you know who to contact immediately. When cardio equipment goes out, they label it, and have a repair date set on the machine. It is usually withing 5 days. Compare this to New Life Fitness World, and Aspen, and the differences are phenomenal. Atmosphere at these places are a little different than at a big gym. I actually enjoy this since I am there to work out not win popularity contest with the latest hot blond. You learn when to go to this gym. 3 pm. is my favorite time, 5pm. at 8 PM. are busy times. The people that are there are very friendly, and again, who is there varies by time of day; Early morning is older folk, later in day is younger. There are allot of heavier woman at the gym at about 4:30 to 8:00 (no not exclusively heavier). I come from a heavier family, so I appreciate a place where heavier people feel comfortable working out and not being judged. The only drawback, and I'm not taking point off, is that they do not have fitness classes (per say), or a pool. This isn't an expectation of mine, but I know for some people this is a bigger deal. Their tanning booths are perfect for white skinned people like me, but I have heard leather bagged women complaining that the beds aren't strong enough. Actually what bed are strong enough for these women? Why does this area have a leather bag problem? The bottom line is if you want a place that is open 24/7, has great equipment, friendly staff, and great rates- nothing in the area even competes with this. read more

We were in town for the week from Texas for a wedding my fiancé has an anytime membership, I do not. Derrick was very helpful, he answered all questions in a polite/friendly manner. He went above and beyond for us, and exemplifies all of the great things we've heard about Iowans! read more

When I signed up with Anytime Fitness in Marion it was my second gym in the Cedar Rapids/Marion area and I fell in love with the environment and atmosphere. As a female going into the gym you are worried about what people might say if you lift weights, there was nothing but encouragement and smiles, even high fives. There has always been a positive environment. Travis and Derek do a great job keeping the gym a safe place and want to make sure their clients feel safe and if there are concerns they are not afraid to address them. They know all of their clients by name, they welcome you when you walk through their door. They both work so hard to make us happy and help us reach our goals. If you are looking for a gym this is the gym for you!! Thanks to Travis and Derek for all of their encouragement and helpful tips to hitting those goals! read more

Hard to work out at a gym when the guest entrance is locked and nobody is there during staffed hours.....

Been a member since around November 2010 its probably the biggest waste of money and they make you do a year contract thats ok but say you cant pay a month or two cause youre tight on bills? Well good luck dealing with collections not even a month and a half after its late. They say 90 then they say 60 days then they just send it to collections anyway and dont tell you or call you back after youve been inquiring or trying to cancel for the last two months! I wouldnt even give this place a star but the site made me, they dont deserve it. read more
