It is unfortunate that I have to write this poor review. My husband and I were patrons of this gym for a year and a half. We are both upstanding citizens and served as very positive role models/patrons at this location. In fact, we were at this location 5 days a week on average and many people knew us as the "cute couple" that works out together. The management does not know how to handle negative situations and would rather "cover up" a situation than deal with it. To summarize, I had trained with their head trainer for about 4 months. My husband and I spent a large amount of money for this service. Although this trainer has a great amount of knowledge about training, he lacks understanding of professional ethics and relationship-building skills. I had learned from other gym patrons that this trainer was saying very negative things about me and my husband. To name a couple: we were "cheap," even though we make a nice combined salary and have student loans and other priorities; and that its "stupid" we train together and are making "no progress," although we are both in great shape. It seems that this negative talk stemmed from him being upset that we stopped training with him and that we are happy with setting and reaching our own personal goals. During the 4 months I trained with this trainer, he told me very personal things about other members (about drug addictions, eating disorders, etc., and made negative comments about womens bodies). In one instance, he told me a member had an "old lady butt." As a woman, I found this incredibly offensive. My husband and I were immediately concerned. We reported this behavior to the gym management and apparently they disciplined the trainer. After the gym became aware of the trainers negative comments about my family, they spoke to him. We met, and of course the trainer denied everything. It was difficult for me to believe he never said these things, as Ive heard him gossip so much throughout my time training with him. We were supposed to have a meeting to discuss the situation this week, but unfortunately, the gym cancelled the meeting and said it needed to be handled "in house." This seemed to be a way to brush the issues under the rug....again. My husband and I are now members of a new local gym, and its a much more comfortable, respectful environment where our business (and privacy) is a priority. Anytime Fitness Big Bend is a nice facility, but I feel it is my right as a consumer to make patrons of this location aware of an unprofessional trainer and management team. I am still sad I had to leave, as I loved many of the gym-goers, equipment, and classes, but I had to do whats best for myself and my husband.

It is obvious that all what this guys are up for is your money. Big bend facility First of all I have never heard of that if you are on a month to month deal you are supposed to give them a 60 day notice and pay a small fee to break the contract. What contract? It is month to month Doesnt make sense. You pay one month you use the facility whether, you use it for the whole month or not you are done no questions ask no small fee no nothing done thats it. Thats why its called month to month. I am new in the area from Nevada didnt know any better didnt know about other gyms around and signed16 month contract. Before I signed they told me that if I wanted to break the contract I was supposed to give them a 60 day notice and pay a small fee. Now 3 weeks later I found a way better gym no contracts. No catches and month to month if you like. well I went to talk to them guys at any time fitness wow I dont even think they know what they are talking about. they told me that Supposibly I cant break the contract that now I have to pay for the 16 months whether I use their facility or not. I never like to sign any kind of contract and with this crap just keeps getting worse and with people like this guys dont think I will be singing any contracts any time soon one thing is for sure I would never walk into this gym ever again.

Cindy---- Mr. Tippins isnt your husband so that wouldnt make him co-owner of the gym? A 28-year-old man who troopers said caused a crash that killed one driver and sent two others to the hospital was arrested at the Hard Rock Casino late Sunday after fleeing the scene. Henry Michael Tippins, 28, of Riverview faces 12 charges in the aftermath of a deadly hit-and-run at the intersection of Hillsborough Avenue and 56th Street. This is the Owner of this club; this is just in addition to numerous other things that are bothersome. Example: the young lady who staffed at the club uses racial slurs when speaking directly to another staff member. Personally the N bomb makes me very uncomfortable. The facility is nice but they need new staff; I have seen a few new faces -- hopefully they are taking steps into a better direction. Unfortunately I am considering canceling my membership and finding a new health club.

I absolutely love this gym and its owner and the staff there. Being able bodied my entire life until three years ago when I was in a motorcycle accident that paralyzed me from the chest down, Ive been in many gyms and this facility and staff is at the TOP! Being in a chair and going to new places can be intimidating, but Cindy and her staff made me feel like family. This gym is my home and I cant imagine going anywhere else. They have anything you can imagine the gym is extremely well kept, smells great, if you closed your eyes you wouldnt think it was a gym by the smell. The trainers and staff even encouraged me to go to school to become a personal trainer (which Im currently attending). The nicest/ most encouraging group of people you could surround your self with. From the bottom of my heart thank you for helping me to pursue my dreams!

I continue to be impressed by this gym, their staff and especially the owner, Cindy. Everyone is genuinely sweet, accomodating and they all really seem to care about their members. I have been a member since its inception a year ago. Cindy, Ashley, Ryan and the rest of the team go above and beyond to answer my questions and help me better myself. Thank you, ATF Riverview! What a great addition this has become to our small community!!

Great Gym!! The owner and office manager are terrific. Very helpful and always friendly. The equipment is always kept in good working order and the facility is spotless. I love the way this gym is laid out...it makes for a great workout environment. Ive worked out with a trainer there and that was always a nice experience too. I would highly recommend this gym; and, in fact I have! Many times!

Great job in my opinion! I have been to this ATF location a few times and every time it is clean and the staff is very polite, not mention overly helpful. Cindy, the owner, is always great and greets everyone with a smile. In no way does anything going on with Henry effect the overall experience at the gym. I am delighted everytime I use their facility. Great job Riverview ATF! ~TJ Tampa
