This review is for the Loves Park location. Haven't tried the State St. location. Posted my review…read morebefore realizing it was for the wrong location and can't seem to be able to delete it. However, I anticipate the review to be very similar since it's the same gym run by the same people with the same business structure. Loves Park Peak: The gym is spacious and offers a lot of equipment which is nice. However, customer service is lacking. 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.

Equipment desperately needs to be upgraded, the place is filthy and disgusting, smells like feet ! The guy they have that is suppose to be working here doesn't do shit but hang out! It's just a place he gets paid to workout at !! I know they don't have a ton of customers, and I know a lot of people that have been here and say the same thing, that it's disgusting. So you think the owners would see that and clean and upgraded the place! But oh well, their loss !!!

Honestly, MaxP changed my life. I originally purchased a Groupon for 2 weeks at the gym, and at the…read moreend of it, I ended up getting a year-long membership. They counsel you on healthy eating and provide meal plans. They also have a deal with another local business, Food4Fuel, where you can get 10% off pre-prepared healthy meals. Tbh, I've not really stuck to their meal plans. I just do calorie counting on my own (I want this to be a long term solution to my weight problems, not something that will burn off 50 lbs. that I'll gain as soon as I have to move away from Rockford). The 2 best things here, though, are the group workouts and the community. I have made so many friends at MaxP that I would have never known otherwise. Oh, and I've lost 20 lbs. AND! I can feel abs for the first time in my entire life! It's expensive, but it is so, so worth it. The people are amazing, the workouts make you feel better than you ever have, and the accountability makes your goals actually achievable.

If you follow your coaches instructions, you'll get results. Period. I didn't have much weight to lose when I started, but I've lost 25lbs in fat and gained quite a bit of muscle. 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!

Something was going on with the computers. He said I can pay next time so i come back in They gave me a late fee. He said he would waive it. He told me when I get out of tanning and come back cause something was wrong with the computer. I can pay when I come out he wasn't there a woman by the name of Larissa was and said he said you were going to pay I said yes she said are you going to use Apple Pay? I said yes and it came up $54. I said he's gonna wave late fees. I tried to pay last week but something was wrong. She said I cannot wave anything. It's an annual fee I said the late fee well I cannot,not to mention 15 minutes prior there wasn't no problem waving a couple dollars I told her I'll just pay later and I walked away. She yelled out you can't they won't let you back in the club with aggression. I laughed at her and said I've been here longer than you and she yelled out. What did you say but being who I am best thing to do was walk away and that's what I did otherwise it could've been real ugly Larissa I love people that love their job, but don't love it that much. You're minimum wage, honey.

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.
