    (6 year member). Sheesh *pulls at collar to get some air* Tough crowd…read more I love Anytime Fitness. I love all three locations I've visited. This includes Desloge, MO, Farmington MO, and Brunswick GA. With that being said, I've talked to management on behalf of the 1 star complaints!!!!!!! There is a policy for you movers! If you move, and you are 40 miles or further away from the nearest Anytime Fitness you can get a cancelation of contract. All you have to do is send proof of address to the club and they will discontinue your contract and there will be a 30 day cancellation timeframe (in case something falls through, you change your mind, etc.) However, If you owe payment within those 30 days you will have to pays those payments. This is established in such a way that it deters people who are exploiting this process, only to cancel a contract they regret having signed into. Unfortunately it makes it a bit less convenient for people who are honest. Only takes a few to ruin it for the rest. NOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!! The review....... Hands down, the cleanest gyms I've ever been to. Staff is super friendly and is always welcoming of questions and concerns. Folks, I've been here for 6 years for a reason. The customer service is outstanding. Farmington had a small space and people wanted more, they bought the building next to it and expanded. People wanted more room, they bought and set up Desloge gym. They wanted updated equipment, they bought updated equipment. They didn't ask for it but they got updated aesthetics and paint jobs! New cubbies, snack machine, protein powders, greens, etc. People wanted to be able to buy things when staff is gone, they set up Venmo!!! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!?? Now now, they can't give you EVERYTHING, but they do work on getting what they can and what is best for the gym. This gym does get pretty busy and it isn't the biggest gym by any stretch of the imagination, but in my opinion, it is the best quality, and there is a second one, 7 miles down the road. Not to mention, all the members are friendly and I have made my fair share of friends along the way . % RECOMMEND!!!!! Come try the trial period!! See for yourself!!! I can't recommend Anytime Fitness Farmington and Desloge enough. I love this place and have no plans on leaving.

    A lot of the negative reviews on here to date seem to be related to canceling membership. As I was…read morenot trying to, I cant comment on that side of the business. But as far as working out goes, I'd say this place deserves a solid 4 stars. I work a 4-state are for my job, and I've been to a lot of AF's. This isn't the biggest place, but the equipment layout seems well thought out. They have a separate room for floor work, aerobics, etc. They have 2 power racks plus a Smith, the plates are in better shape than a lot of AF's, and the barbells weren't excessively bowed. They also have a big cable machine, cardio equipment, etc. No deadlift platform, but they left a few squares of rubberized floor tiles out by the racks, so you could fashion a makeshift one, if you want. Overall the facility seems a bit newer and cleaner than most. The staff member I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back next time I'm in town.

    I'm one of the few people in Missouri privileged with the opportunity to try the elite ARX machine…read moreat Biofit, and it left me truly amazed that I have had the honor of experiencing something that's going to change history and how people experience finding and building their own strength. This is a long review but every bit of it is necessary because this needs to be known, shared, and experienced!!! This exercise equipment has created a new neural pathway for me and how I now view exercise, my time spent at the gym and my ability to reach peak levels endurance. As a fitness enthusiast who's tried everything from P90X to Peloton, nothing compares to this experience. I love lifting free weights and unlike most people I don't count my reps per se I count my length of time doing each rep, which is the TUT method (time under tension). Most workout fanatics may use this method because it's so beneficial. Time under tension is the duration a muscle is under strain during exercise. It focuses on the time spent in each movement to enhance muscle growth and endurance. For me, this is the best and fastest way to tone up, get great blood flow to muscles (pump), and see results. What I now know is ARX eclipses the TUT method and any other machine out there. Now the tut method is great but even though you're holding that tension there's nothing but gravity working against you and your own strength which is great but be honest how hard to you really push yourself at the gym? With this state-of-the-art equipment, the machine is working against you via resistance BUT is also working for you. It's as if it's working every muscle everywhere all at once!! It somehow knows what limit to push your body to so you get the perfect amount of resistance, which in turn gives you the metrics of your own strength. Something lifting has never gauged for me better yet has never resisted against me to enhance my strength. ARX is so mind-boggling that talking about it doesn't do it justice--you must experience it in person! No matter what your strength level is, this machine will match you and make you work smarter, not harder, plus you can get a full-body workout in 10-15 minutes. My first time was less than 5 minutes on one machine and it was a leg press. I was in my casual everyday clothes. I wasn't wearing tennis shoes I was wearing heels jeans and a leather jacket! Why? I went in for a quick demo thinking it would be demonstrated for me by the owner. Nope watching would not have done me any good because you don't know the might of this machine until you experience it. So it bears repeating I was in high heels, and I was still able to accomplish a magnificent burn, experience a life transforming piece of equipment and more importantly I didn't have to take my shoes off and I didn't break a heel! Now, my second time was less than 10 minutes and was a full-body workout. This time I had on gym attire and tennis shoes were a must because after the experience the week before I wanted to see what I could really accomplish without worrying about snapping a heel off. At the end of my short session, I felt as if I had been working out for 45 minutes. I only used three machines and didn't lift a single weight!! My muscles were so taxed I couldn't complete my usual HIIT routine on the self powered treadmill, and in all honesty, that routine may become a thing of the past, along with my typical gym membership. These slick pieces of machinery will end up making typical gym equipment obsolete simply due to the science and metrics behind it. Plus, it's designed to give you one of the most efficient methods of working out, which is time under tension. The ARX is literally based on Time Under Tension (TUT) plus it tracks your strength metrics, tailors resistance to your personal limits, takes less than 10 minutes, and you can get results by using it once or twice a week!! I value my time very much, and being able to cut down my commute to and from the gym, the time in between sets, and the time to perform my workout is a win-win for me. It was an unparalleled workout experience. It's hands down the most amazing workout I've ever had! Talking about this is not the same as experiencing it. You MUST experience it then see how you feel the day after. I promise you'll want to go back and try beating your own scores again!

    You may think that BioFit is just like any other small gym, but you would be completely mistaken…read more They have the best equipment around for a full body workout in just 15 minutes a week. That's right. . . . a full body workout in 15 minutes, only once a week. You have a scheduled appointment, so you have the trainer's individual attention. The short time needed for a complete workout is excellent for the busy professional and the personal attention is great for those who don't like the large gyms where you're lost in the masses not knowing how to use the equipment. Be sure to call BioFit to get your free demo. I promise you'll want to join the family!
