    I saw the comment from Alex D. (Boulder, CO) about the "little guy" named Chris (who is that gym's…read moremanager, no less), and I had a nearly identical experience--same guy, same attitude. I was at the Lansdale Anytime Fitness on June 10, 2025, and Chris Cooke had his dog roaming loose inside the gym while chatting with what appeared to be a local customer--possibly training her, though I wasn't sure. Then a visitor walked in and approached him near where I was working out. The dog suddenly began barking loudly, which was disturbing enough on its own. But when I calmly voiced my discomfort, Chris actually told me, "fuck you." Totally unprofessional. Like Alex, I got the same cocky, dismissive vibe--especially toward anyone who's not part of his inner circle. If you're looking for a respectful, safe, and professional gym, there are definitely better options in the area. This gym should also take note of a separate Anytime Fitness case in Pinellas County, Florida (Case No. 19-004276-CI), where a dog owned by a management member was also loose on the gym floor. That case ended up settling for close to a million dollars. The full court record is available at the Pinellas County Clerk's website: https://www.mypinellasclerk.gov/Home/View-Records -- or you can view one of the filings directly at: https://trellis.law/doc/98116607/response-doc-161-to-defendant-david-lagree-s-motion-for-final-summary-judgment-incorporated-memorandum-law

They have all of the specialty bars, racks & plates you could need and have made the most out of their very limited space. The gym & bathrooms are kept in pristine condition and the community is a very tight knit group. It's a breath of fresh air to have a gym manager, Chris, who actually cares about its members and is knowledgeable about all things fitness.

    A terrific find. I'm so happy I bought a Groupon for their fitness glasses (Hot Power Yoga) because…read moreme and my fiance ended up joining as members for unlimited classes. We go about 2x a week and I've always had a very welcoming and great experience. The staff is very friendly and I've gotten to know them on a personal level. It was important to me to find a yoga class at a gym that was a little more spiritual than I've found at past gyms and this definitely exceeded my expectations. After getting to know the instructors, and telling them what my goals are, they've been extremely supportive in pushing me beyond what I think I can do and helping me reach some of my goals so soon. It's about a 20 minute drive for me and DEFINITELY worth it.

    HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! New owners took over a few months ago, right as I was getting my membership…read more The OWNER, Kelly, didn't show up for class a lot (without cancelling it on the website) as well as would get to class late, and the room wouldn't be hot. I didn't even have my membership for a month because within less then a month the instructor didn't show up 5 times! Brenda and Abby are great and are way too good for Guru Fitness under these owners! 4 of those 5 classes were Kelly's classes that she just didn't show up to. 1 of those classes was a scheduling error made by Kelly. I've never been to any sort of business that the owner has no idea how to run it. I am now going to a yoga gym 40 minutes from my home that is also reasonably priced, Guru was just 5 minutes away! Also, my sister-in-law had a membership there and they accidentally overcharged her several times. They were willing to reimburse her, but how does that happen on multiple occasions? I am so disappointed in my experience with Guru, and until they have new owners, or until Kelly takes some business classes to understand how to run a business, I HIGHLY recommend going to any other yoga gym - it'll be worth the price no matter how much more expensive it is!

    I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Do not send your kids there. They do not engage well on a…read morechild or parent level at all. We engaged this establishment when we wanted to finally send our 2 year old to day care for the first time. Everything seemed so wonderful. Had to take a virtual tour because of the times and were able to meet the teacher ahead of time. Everything was great, however, looks were very deceiving. We dropped our child off for her first day. We knew it was going to be difficult for her because it was the first time away from the ones she knows and loves. We expected to see that. Here were the problems. Upon first day we were not given all the information and signup information for the apps they use and they belittled us like we should have known how to use them ahead of time. My daughter cried and was upset for a little over an hour. Again, to be expected. She was never happy or settled the whole morning. They provide a camera to check in on your child which is awesome to see them. But then you get to see what is going on as well. We never saw a teacher or administrator help our child become acclimated. Typically someone would get on the child's level so they could look eye to eye. What happened was she sat in a chair by herself all morning. The one time a teacher went over to her she handed her the picture book we put together for her to see her loved ones. Did the teacher open it and engage. No! The placed the book down in front of her and walked away. Again we can see this all through their camera system. We saw the blonde haired teacher sitting on a table not even in a chair next to our daughter to help out. Even saw her on her phone instead of tending to the children. They only had 6 kids including our daughter that day so it is not like they were overwhelmed. We get they cannot spend the whole time with her but they should be able to assist her instead of leaving her sit by herself for hours. But wait, it gets better. It took them until after 12 pm to change our child's diaper for the first time. It even says so in the report they sent us at the end of the day. It took them over 4 hours for them to check her diaper! We watched as they provided her lunch and they didn't try to help her eat they just kind of left it there. At the end of the day they sent us a report advising that our kid engaged in all of these types of activities throughout the day and she napped well from 1-3pm. Hmmmm, we picked our child up at 1230 and we could see her sitting in the chair or standing by the door all morning. Please advise how she engaged? My wife engaged the owner on the second day and he wanted nothing to do with her and told her would call her to discuss her concerns instead of trying to address them. Never apologized for the horrible experience or any sentiments. The director, which we spoke to over the phone multiple times, was there at drop off as well. She saw my wife when she got out of the car and ran inside to afraid to confront us to discuss the prior days activities. Long story short, do no send your children here. They do not value you and they consider you just a number. The owner does not want to accept any accountability. The transition should have been smoother than it was. I have spoken to multiple individuals who have or do work in field and this is completely unacceptable on all fronts.

    Candidly, my son went in with some challenges. I was assured that the facility was equipped to deal…read morewith these challenges and that my son would have two instructors. This wasn't the case. Once one of the teachers was removed, my son began to act out. We noticed when given a snack, my son had less problems. Every time he was sent home, they hadn't given him a snack. After two incidents in a row, instead of attempting to address any concerns, they dismissed my son removing him from friends he made and creating a great deal of trauma. The owner, Sean, was dismissive, rude, unhelpful and didn't care that this is a four year old child whose life was affected negatively. He has no business representing himself as a day care owner and should stick with declaring himself a profit monger.
