Ive never had a bad experience with this gym. Everyone has been polite as well as helpful, whether for small problems like needing help getting a strap back on the foot pegs of the bike or for asking for a guest pass so my husband could use the gym for a week. There is a towel service here for everyones use as well as private bathrooms to even take a shower in. There are plenty of machines (ellipticals, treadmills, bikes, leg press, rowing, chest press, etc.) for everyone to use without waiting and a well-stocked weight-lifting area. Ive always been smiled, waved at, and said "hello" to by the manager. I have never seen anyone thrown out of this establishment nor have I heard it through the grapevine. In fact, everyone I have encountered there has been kind to me with at least a smile as I walk past them. I encourage people to come to this gym. Its a great price as far as gyms go and youll get many great options for how you spend your gym time. I do know theyre going through a renovation at this time, but I know the finished product will be wonderful and more productive than the last setup. ETA: Now that the renovating is over, the gym looks and feels roomier and more welcoming. There is a new rowing machine that has been added to the cardio area, a massage bed in one of the changing rooms, and a wall that you can write on with inspirational quotes. Of course it still has all of the original, beloved equipment that you expect for a great workout. Try the new gym out today! You wont be disappointed!

Two words: SIMPLY PHENOMENAL! Everything about this club reigns supremacy over any other type of fitness club in Gainesville, VA: the accessibility of this club, being able to access it 24 Hours a day; the staff, highly competent and friendly, making you feel like a family member rather than a mere member on an income statement; and availability of equipment, unlike other clubs where you must wait to get on equipment, this club has all the equipment you need to get in a superb workout ANYTIME! I would highly recommend this club over any of the Big Box gyms such as Sport & Health, because the rates are better and you will not be paying inflated prices for amenities you will rarely use such as basketball courts, swimming pools, and child care. Unless youre Michael Jordan or Michael Phelps, you will only need the necessary equipment that will yield results, and this gym has it ALL for you ANYTIME! No need to worry about conflicting work/life schedules, now you can tailor your fitness routine around your lifes routine at Anytime Fitness! No other gym can offer such convenience to help you live and feel impactful in life! Dont just believe my testimonial, find out for yourself and begin living with the body youve always desired!

Ive not been happy with my membership at this gym. Ive given feedback regarding most of the items listed below, and they never were addressed. I tried to cancel my membership, but was told I would have to pay a cancellation fee that was never mentioned or shown in print when I first joined the gym. Membership looks enticing for this gym because of the $29 a month fee, but its not worth it. Heres a list of things I found wrong with the gym: Mold/Mildew in the womens shower Hairballs in the womens shower Stains in the womens toiler Stains in the womens sink Hair on the floor of the womens bathroom Foul smell in the womens bathroom from a dry drain Dust on the equipment Malfunctioning equipment (i.e. buttons dont work) Broken equipment lying around Cobwebs throughout the gym Owner overheard talking to members about his debt and collectors that call him The owner is reportedly trying to sell the gym, but cant find a buyer (I was told his asking price is way too high.) Ive tried discussing some of the aforementioned items with him and found it very frustrating. He is pompous and condescending.

Absolutely horrible management here, Manager Charlie has no concept of customer service. My advice for anyone that encounters this location, this is not how Anytime fitness operates, The Bristow location is perfectly run with great management who welcome all its member and doesnt throw them out. The best thing for this location would be to have the owner sell it and have that new owner fire Charlie, if not, it will be sure to close down as it loses members. Dont let this location create a bad image for Anytime Fitness due to poor management. The key any membership is to create an expeience of inclusion and welcoming, that you are part of something cool. Not that you are a tresspasser because you think all people are crooks and that you should leave, that was my experience and I will never go to this location again, however, I will remain a member due to the Bristow location being what I believe is the Anytime fitness I joined.

I joined and have worked out at Anytime Fitness in Gainesville since it first opened. Its the perfect gym for me - its clean, the staff is friendly, and in that time Ive only had to wait to use equipment once or twice. I like that its available to use 24 hrs a day, or if Im traveling, I have the option of using another facility. Theres no pressure to sign up for personal training, but its available. Its not a large facility, but still offers the same equipment that large fitness centers have. Plus, I like the other members that I see regularly. This is considered a no-frills facility with very reasonable rates with a men & womens shower room and hand towels. Its exactly what I was looking for and Im not paying for any extras that I wouldnt use anyway. When the economy hurt my disposable income, this is the one "extra" I wouldnt give up.

Disappointed. The staff is not approachable and kind. They were really nerdy and controlling. They seem to have "Retail PTSD" and treat "customers" as "people they have to endure" instead of enjoying people and wanting to help them. I ended up trying one of the other nearby gyms where I was readily welcomed, they even let me workout for free the first evening without signing up, because the introduction people were not available. I have moved a lot over the past three years, and this is more the norm for gyms. I always join the "cool and nice" one. It is also easier to make friends in the ones with the welcoming and "not control crazy" atmosphere. The Gainesville Anytime is the worst one for atmosphere I have experienced in 20 years.

My teenage son and I joined a year ago and both of us love Anytime Fitness. Ive lost 20 lbs, halved my body fat percentage, and am in better shape than Ive ever been, thanks to the convenience and friendliness of this gym! The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, and always ready to share their knowledge, whether you attend one of the dozen free classes offered each week, sign up for group or personal training, or just ask them questions while youre working out on your own. Even at busy times, Ive never had to wait for a cardio machine, and theres enough variety in the weights to offer a diverse and varied experience. Friends have left other gyms in Gainesville and joined at my recommendation and not been disappointed.
