No matter what your fitness goals are, Snap Fitness is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a clean, well-staffed, and inexpensive gym. I joined in February and have had a wonderful experience every time I have been since which is saying something because I am sometimes there more than once a day. It is open 24/7 and there are only a few super busy times during the week - primarily Monday and Friday evenings in my experience - so despite this location being somewhat compact, there is always equipment available. There is only one squat rack but they have a good variety of weight machines, free weights, and lots of cardio equipment. There is also a studio where you can play fitness classes on a projector and where they host pilates-type classes Monday evenings and Saturday mornings which are free for members. There are a lot of TVs located in the cardio section as well as free WiFi which certainly makes cardio sessions go by a lot quicker ;) To round out the amenities they do offer a stand-up tanning bed for a pretty inexpensive monthly fee, and although I dont use it I have heard from other members that it is worth it. It is always kept extremely clean and tidy which is a huge plus for me. From the equipment to the showers, it is always spotless. And last but certainly not least, the staff is excellent. It is important to note that the gym is not staffed 24/7 but the manager, Jose, is there all throughout the week and does an amazing job. From the day I signed up he has provided me with constant help and support in achieving my goals from offering help with my diet to showing me more effective ways to train or use the machines. He is also super knowledgable when it comes to sports nutrition and can answer any questions you have regarding the products they sell - mostly Cellucor, as well as some ready-to-drink protein shakes and preworkouts - and what you can do to maximize your results. I would recommend Snap for any of the above reasons but Jose truly goes above and beyond to ensure members have a positive and rewarding experience here and that is why I am so quick to direct anyone in search of a new gym to Snap Fitness.

Ive had a pretty terrible experience with Snap Fitness. The facility itself is fine! The machines are new enough & clean enough. Its a comfortable space to work out in for sure. The tanning bed works but its not very nice and there is only one. I worked out with a trainer that recently moved away, and she was nothing short of fabulous. HOWEVER when it comes to changing or canceling your membership - good luck. Youll have better chances waking up to a room full of gold. After canceling my membership with at least three of the staff members at Snap Fitness, I was still charged (and ignored) for months. The staff at the facility was absolutely useless in regards to helping me resolve the issue. When I went in to the facility (which is now well over an hour away from my home) for assistance, I was made to feel like an annoyance and was hurried out the door, being told that "there was absolutely nothing they could do." I called corporate multiple times which did nothing. I emailed them several times. Nothing. No one canceled my membership for me and no one helped me to be refunded the money that was being withdrawn from my bank account every month. This went on for four months with no response. I finally ended up having to dispute the charges with the help of my bank. What a headache. If youre thinking of joining a gym - Id pick a different one. Having access to machines is great, but you can get that anywhere. The employees of any facility are ultimately whats going to create your experience there. Go with AnyTime.

Caution to anyone else, especially those looking for a short-term gym membership while staying in Charlottesville: I called this gym, said I was only in town for 2 weeks (I made this very clear) and what could they offer as a weekly or other temp membership? Manager said he had a UVA student special for a month for $33. After confirming with him that this was the _total_ price for a month, I drove over to join--whereupon he charged me $33 for a month, plus $20 key fee, plus $25 or so joining fee, acting as if all this was an incredible special he was willing to offer me. WTF?! I told him forget it, that I didnt appreciate his bait and switch, and to please be more honest in citing prices on the phone. Totally slimy and dishonest behavior. The gym did look nice, but be aware of the owner piling up last-minute "fees" when you try to join.

I have lived all over Charlottesville my entire life and over the years I have tried out just about every gym we have ever had. I usually like the convenience of having a gym close as possible to where I live. Currently where I live there are a couple closer gyms compared to the location of Snap Fitness. I always find myself driving past these other gyms right over to Snap to workout. There is no comparison. They have everything I need in a gym. 24 hours, great equipment (recently added another squat rack :), amazing staff, and very affordable. I have been a member since they first opened and never had a negative thing to say.

I worked out at a nearby, larger gym for a couple of years before this one opened up. This gym is so much better. 24/7 access (if you work out at the other gym, I hope you dont ever feel like working out on a weekend evening), no mandatory year-long contracts, and a radio station that doesnt play the same few songs over and over again.

Edited: had a problem and Jose handled it extremely well and quickly!! This gym has plenty of each machine.
