Management was courteous and let me in the door to workout in less than 60 seconds. Atmosphere - lift, go heavy or go home, love it! If I lived in Rockford, I would join this gym in a second. It has everything you need to get stronger and more fit. Squat racks, nice benches, dumbells all in tact, more calf machines than you can imagine, including one that will work your calves better than any machine at any other gym -- donkey machine. You need a poster of Arnold or you can't call yourself a gym -- these guys have one. The regulars didn't bother me and were also courteous. The only complaint I have is that now at home I have to go to a fancy gym where nobody is even sweating. Thank you Asylum, hope to see you next year. Dan

The gym is spacious and offers a lot of equipment which is nice. However, customer service is…read morelacking. You walk in and the front desk is more of a hang out spot for the employees to chat amongst themselves instead of being customer service oriented. It's a higher end gym, you would think the members would be treated as such. The classes, have the right equipment, but the up beat energy of instructors to motivate and hype up the members and command a class is missing. I took a cycling class, great music, great ambiance and lighting, but the motivation, excitement, and hype at the front of the room from the instructors was sad and lacking. I tried many different times and different instructors, but sadly didn't find anything other than lacking. They seemed nice though. I do come from a high end gym, Club Studio, in Irvine CA. where their classes are all one big epic party while working out with great ambiance, great sound system, great mood lighting, and top notch instructors that elevate and motivate you throughout the whole class. Sadly, they do not have a Club Studio yet in Rockford and I did end up leaving Peak. Couldn't really justify the price of the membership at Peak when you can get close to the same amenities at any other gym in the area. Good gym. Nothing special. Not worth the hype.

I have never felt better & that was the whole reason I wanted to join - to feel my best. Thanks MaxP for always meeting me where I'm at!

For 'Black Card' members, they have tanning beds, massage chairs, and total body enhancement "angel" machines. BC holders may also bring a guest. Staff was friendly and greeted me as soon as I walked through the door. My only issue is the employee had no idea how to work the angel machine, so I had I to figure it out for myself. Even with the instruction information on the wall, its a little difficult to get the hang of. So I don't blame them, but I do think since they work there, they should have some idea of how the machines are operated for those that are new to them like me.

I dont know if the person who signed up our membership was incorrect in telling us this but the only reason we had bought a membership was to use the studio for dance as studio rental is incredibly expensive. Very disappointed.

I joined this location specifically for the "warm pool." In the last two months, only one time,…read morehave I been able to actually swim without an issue. There are only 3 lanes available; and if you go anytime after work, good luck getting access to the single lane that they condense lap swimmers down to due to swim lessons taking precedence. There are weird "safety breaks" that occur throughout the day and the last time I was there, I was in my final 25 lengths to my 2 mi swim and was told I had to get out because the lifeguard "deserved a break" (her words, not mine). Mind you, I was the ONLY person in the entire aquatics area at this time. And, she was wearing street clothes; not even a swim suit. I assured her I was of no concern to her and asked if I could finish my training. She suggested I "read the signs" As soon as my training comes to an end, I will be leaving this location. Their lack of employees, specifically lifeguards, should not negatively impact paying members. If I could submit more complaints, I would.

Upon signing up for Anytime Fitness it was clearly stated that you could cancel when needed and…read morethat I would only be charged for meeting with my trainer when I saw him. and if I was not going to see him that he needs a 24 hr heads up at least or you will be charged anyways. this was not a problem until it became a problem. shortly after joining and actively going to the gym day to day and seeing my trainer once a week I ended up losing my car temporarily. I notified my trainer that I would not be able to make it that day but it was okay if he charged me the full amount as he was a nice guy and it was not a 24 hr heads up. I then notified my trainer that moving forward I would not be able to make to training sessions due to not having a car. Friday dec 8th 2023 I was charged $104 which is for 2 sessions every 2 weeks however I did not go to these and my trainer was made WELL aware of my attendance and that I would not be coming. I reached out to my trainer and notified him that I was still being charged and that I needed Taylors direct number to get this refunded and resolved. word for word this is what the trainer messages me "Yes that does not stop" "They will continue to pull the payments even if youre not training until your contract is over. however your sessions will remain in your account until you use them." I told him how much I was charged and that it was not for the membership but for the training that did not happen I then let him know that I was upset and that I would like to cancel the entire membership if that is the case. Taylor Lucas the account manager I'm assuming then tries to reach out to me to resolve this issue by telling me that they are unable to cancel my membership as it is a Contract. THIS IS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR AT ALL I blocked further payments from them but they are trying to send me to collections for $1000+ Contract that I did not agree to the he twisted on sign up. I would like this to be off my record and a full refund of the 436 due to this malpractice joke of a business

You may think you are joining for a set fee, don't believe it. they have hidden fees and costs they can't wait to spring on you. Believe me, there are way better clubs for less and no hassle- if hassle is what you seek, in addition to excessive fees, you should definitely sign up here- if those are the criteria, I give this place five stars, I have been a part of Anytime Fitness elsewhere and had a positive experience. This review applies to this one solely- on Columbia in Rockford.

We love this location!…read more I've been going here off and on since I was a kid and used to beg my mom to come play in the kids area, pool and racquetball courts. As I got older I enjoyed the weight room, indoor track, sauna, and eventually, now that I have kids of my own, REALLY enjoy the daily childcare. There is truly something here for every age group. Not to mention the staff are over and above friendly and I feel like every time I come I'm family. When I was a kid I definitely took for granted how lucky we are to have a facility like this. I didn't know any different. But now after traveling a lot for work and using other Y facilities, I realize how great this location is--not to mention it's the 6th biggest one in the U.S.! They have lots of programs and classes for every fitness level if that is your thing, and have events throughout the year too. They do so much good for our community and my wife and I can't say enough good things about the Y. Plus it's very affordable for everything they offer. A membership here also entitles you to access several other Rockford Y facilities in addition to a majority of YMCAs around the country. We've been members at other health clubs/gyms around town but this is our favorite. We think everyone should be members!
