About a month ago I brought a safety issue up with the owner Cody Mannix regarding certain machine not being bolted down properly (at all). He said that he was going to take care of it soon, and I was happy to leave it at that. Earlier this week I once again brought to the attention of one of his employees, that one machine in particular would lift up off the ground while in use, and pose a significant safety issue for members. This employee said that this Saturday they had plans on bolting down all the machines, and I was happy to hear that. Today I saw Cody at the gym and I thanked him for making sure we all stayed safe by bolting down the machines. Strangely enough Cody seem perturbed that I even brought this up to his attention and said that he had no plans on bolting down anything Saturday. Fortunately the employee that told me that there where plans to increase member safety by bolting down machines was present, and I was able to understand that the employee simply lied. For members reading this, you might understand what I mean when I say Cody has a temper issue. When asked again why the machines werent bolted down as the manufacturer directs, Cody became very threatening and asked me to leave his office. I did, and proceeded to call corporate anytime fitness in hopes that they could talk to him. You have to understand, the gym itself has great potential and is nearby--I enjoyed the equipment but not at risk to personal injury. Corporate seemed very sympathetic to the issue and said they would be contacting him shortly. As I went back into the office to let Cody know, and apologize for having to take it so far, Cody became very angry and threatening and said that he personally does not like me and has the authority to have me not work out there any more. At this point I had to pull out my camera to document just what I was seeing--never before have I seen a business owner be so nasty. He did notice this though, and his tone changed completely, even saying hi to the camera and trying to calm down as fast as possible. The in unprofessionalism of this franchise is incredible, and very unfortunate. I happened to see the good in Cody, and understand hat some of the hormones he uses can alter his personality at times. Regardless, if he has desires to be a business owner, he should prioritize member safety over everything, and should be able to look past personal, ego, or whatever sort of issue he has with anyone and see things for what they are. I do not recommend this anytime fitness to anyone who values their safety, in addition to Codys temper, until they can bolt down their machines the entire place is a giant liability.

I just moved to the area not to long ago and I after reading the reviews about this place from last year and beyond I was scared. But the newer reviews were positive so I walked in to see what Anytime had to offer... I was blown away! As a recent graduate of USF (who just updated their entire 2 story gym) I was pleasantly surprised to see most of the same equipment that I was using before. And they even have new equipment that USF didnt offer. A membership will cost between $30-40 per month depending on whether you sign up with contact or month to month which I think is great. Also if you travel anywhere you can use any of the other locations for free. This will be a life saver when I start clinical rotations. The owners really care about this gym and it shows with all of the new equipment and remodeling that they have been doing. Do not be discouraged by the old reviews.

The employees that I have encountered here are all helpful and nice. The gym is a good size and have a bunch of equipment and dumbbells go up to 120lbs I believe. Everyone who works out here seem nice. The only issues with the gym I have is that the cardio is all facing towards the machines/weights, which is a bit odd. Also, they dont have a real cable tower, its just a "V" shaped tower that gets caught up in the weights a bunch, if you pull the cables far. This gym is a great gym for leg day with a free hack squat, squat rack (people really should really stop curling in it), Smith Machine, plus more machines to use. The fact that its open 24/7 is the best part, I get my two-a-days in, easily. They also have a speed bag and large punching bag.

It was a great gym, too bad trainers have ruined that. A small place with about everything you will need, unless what I assume to be trainers are in attendance. Asking for weights out of your hands may be acceptable once but after moving to another machine my 2nd set was cut short by the same guy and his clients, just make sure you dont go when Joey Long is there. If that wasnt enough the icing on the cake came next, as I moved to dumbbells he actually stood between me and the rack flexing in the mirror. I proceeded to exit after I spent some time stepping over a circle of weights that he and his clients left on the floor, next time I go back I will be canceling my membership.

Seems like these guys left us high and dry...I also signed up in January, its now July and the gym is still under construction. No where near finished. Been hearing the same story every month from the sales guy,,,well be done in another 3 weeks...the business next door told me there is no power in the building. They also took payment for Feburary from my bank account...WTF...I called them to stop taking payments from my account and was told they would return the payment for Feburary....They still havent returned my money...not a good way to start a business

Unfortunately, we are having to leave this facility, because of a relocation. With that being said, we have been members for 3 years and its the best its ever been. The gym is clean and well stocked with great machines and the atmosphere is nice and laid back. Brent has been extremely kind and helpful and is a huge asset to this location! All in all, I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to join or for visitors who need a great place to workout temporarily.

They are a rip off. 4 times more expensive than the place across the street. I did the month to month plan so that I wasnt bound by a contract, but when went to cancel my membership I had to pay for the next three months in advance. "60 day notice required" on top of your last month. They are SHYSTERS. Dont even bother if you are thinking about it. There are a dozen other gyms out there that are good.

These people are Thieves and Liars! When you sign up they say you can cancel at any time. But when you want to cancel, they charge you an extra two months. My son went off to college and didnt use the facilities for a whole year, and they took my payment every month. Then, when I wanted to cancel, they added two more months! Stay away from this place. They talk about family friendly....Hardly!

Was driving by and saw the Anytime Fitness sign. Stopped in later and really liked the equipment since most of the machines use free weights. For a Anytime Fitness it had alot more rooms than the other ones I had been in. I will see how it goes but will probably transfer my membership to this one since the one in Countryside gets too crowded and the one in Oldmar switched over to a private gym.
