Been a member for almost 2 years; was referred by a friend. I am generally at the gym 4 days a week, 2 for personal training with the owner, Axel Mahlke, and then 2-3 solo workouts. First, Axel is a wonderful trainer. As an orthopedic surgeon, he brings expertise on many levels - fitness, PT, injury/weakness awareness. He can customize any program for any fitness level. Axel has a lot of knowledge about nuitrition as well. also, I have been there often enough to observe the others trainers as well (Joyce, Iain, Paul), and they are also excellent. Highly trained & experienced. The gym is exceptionally clean, probably the cleanest gym in SE CT. The covid cleaning / sanitizing has been outstanding. Joining AT / Niantic was the smartest and best decision I ever made for myself and my health. It's fun to go, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, no worries about covid infection here. Best money I ever spent! read more

I just signed up at the Anytime Fitness in Niantic, CT and I found that I was greeted very warmly with no pressure tactics to sign me up. Also the Personal Trainer there named Ian was terrific! At 71 years old, I need to keep my mucles strong. I have always gone by a motto, "If you rest, you rust!". Not only was Ian very thorough on explaining the different exercise machines and how they affect different muscles, when I started talking to him about eating right, along with exercising, I found that we were on the same page as to foods that help and harm the body during a person's quest to lose weight, and at the same time to stay strong and healthy. He knows ALL the aspects of personal training! I myself, have done lots of on-line research on the nutritional benifits of foods and nutrients that are now coming to light, that break the old norms of the past. I could tell that Ian was also very knowledgable of not only exercising but also nutrition. We talked for a very long time and I was amazed by all that he knew! He seems to have a good outlook on life and loves what he does and it showed while he talked to me. He smile is contagious too! I am a Snowbird and go to another gym in Florida in the Winter, and also had a trainer show me the machines there, but Ian really puts his heart into his work. I could tell by the way, all the other clients greeted him when they saw him and how he greeted them! No, Ian is not is not my uncle or brother-in law! This was the first time I ever met him!! I don't usually write on-line reviews like these, but I wanted to give credit where credit is due. David G. Johnson Niantic, CT & Titusville, FL read more

Worse anytime I've seen, lacking racks and plates. dumbbells only go to 75. Literally one barbell and all the plates combined only equal 475. I travel a lot and use anytime when I am on the road. This one in particular is the worse I've seen. read more

A local physical therapy office suggested that I call Axel to continue my recovery. I had been in PT due to a recent surgery and back pain. We started with basic exercises and have moved on from there. After several years of inactivity, I am improving and getting stronger. Axel is extremely knowledgable about physiology and nutrition, and working with him has been very helpful to me. read more

Love this gym!!! I have back issues and Axel has worked with me and I have learned how to control my issues with a combination of training methods! Now I have won several 5 k's and competed in several obstacle course events! The best trainers around! Cleanest gym you'll ever find too! read more

Anytime Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Niantic, Connecticut

I've just started on my trial membership, and let me tell you, this place is great. You know how in most fitness places, you need to adjust the weights, sometimes lift them off? Not here. Here they have a simple knob, so you can change the weight from 10 to 250 in one turn. There are so many types of workout equipment, I'd say at least twice as many as the YMCA. They even have a couple exercise video games, where you ride on a bike and your character goes through the track, with lovely, if old by today's standards, scenery. It's like icing on the cake. Best of all, you are given your own key when you sign up, and can go in at any time. 24/7. Want to go at 3 in the morning for a workout? Unlock it and there you go. I'm surprised they're not worried about security, but the simple fact that it's open whenever you want is a big plus. If you have a choice between this and the YMCA, choose this. The Y is fun, and you can't swim here, but the cleanliness and ease that the machines work is like night and day. I'm thrilled I have a place like this near me. It's like a little heaven on earth for exercise. 5/5. read more

This is a great place to work on keeping fit. Super clean and managed by an enthusiastic and helpful staff. Well equipped with all the machines etc. Diverse clientele won't make you feel out of place no matter what your level of fitness is. Really glad to have found these guys! read more

Excellent gym. Very friendly staff. Trainers are kind and approachable. It really feels like a community where staff and members greet eachother and really care. Top notch equipment and a wide variety of classes available (Yoga, pilates, bootcamp, abs, special seminars and training for unique events such as the Warrior Dash or breast cancer walk.) Very clean too! Best gym I have ever been a member of! read more

Great gym with a team of staff who truly care about their clients. Very clean and relaxed atmosphere.

Great place and a perfect fit! I have been a member for 2 years and feel right at home here. Over the past 20 years i have tried over 5 different local gyms and have quit each one due to the gym pushing membership to capacity. Anytime Fitness Niantic throws a warm family vibe that really perpetuates you to achieve big in an intimate setting. No matter the level of fitness and speed desired they have a class or personal trainer that can get you there. Honestly i don't have one bad thing to say about this place. Sure there are things that i would love to have or change...but once you get to know this place you wouldn't change a thing....it all feels right. Your speed, anytime, anywhere....just add motivation (yeah your gonna need it). read more

Can't say enough about the facility and the staff. To say that they truly care about helping you reach your goals would be an understatement! Axel and Lynnea have helped this ALMOST 50 year old body get into the best shape I have been in in 25 years! Their commitment to helping me achieve my goal has been key to my success. I have made wonderful lifelong friends by being a member of this gym, accomplishing goals I never would have reached on my own. Trust me when I tell you I have tried everything that is out there. Other gyms, DVD's, every diet ever written. But it's more than that....its achieving an understanding of why and how to make it work. Not that I was extremely overweight before, but It has been one year since I joined Anytime Fitness in Niantic and I am down 33 lbs! I went from a size 10 to a size 6! Was it a lot of work? Yes! Was it a lot of fun? Yes! Why? Because I never felt alone! I always felt I had the support and encouragement of the staff to help me on my journey. What is my goal now? To complete the Spartan Beast as a 50 year old woman in 2017 (look it up)! Can I do it? YES! How do I know this? Because I have an amazing support team that will be there to make sure I do! Your never to old to make a fresh start. So happy I signed up to be a member. read more
