Anytime Fitness

Tried to go by today to get information, possibly make this my new gym home. After waiting about 10 minutes for the office staff to «return from Kroger» (according to a sticky note on door) I decided to leave. Upon leaving I noticed a «I stand with planned parenthood» sticker in the window. While this is America and you certainly have the right to your opinion and to express them, I don’t feel as though your gym is the place for it. But also, if you want new members, you might want someone there during office hours to help.

You know how you walk into some branches of Anytime Fitness and it just seems lacking? Thinking that particular location might be a better suited as a «Curves» or some other feminine fitness oriented brand (can you say «Planet Fitness»)? Well NOT THIS ONE! This is a refreshing outlier amongst it’s peer group! This is a GYM, with excellent equipment designed for meatheads to put on muscle. It has ample square footage where things don’t feel like they were forced to fit; it is laid out nicely and even has a back room filled with cross fit items and there’s actually space between equipment in the main lifting area (so you’re not hitting your shin adding weight to your bench bar, etc). The dumbbells are in great shape are laid out is a row (not at an angle) and they go up heavy enough! They have a great selection of new cable handles (soft, rope, EZ curl, angled etc). And they have good mirrors (please! You know that’s important, don’t judge).
The clientele is friendly and more fit than at other Anytime locations. You can tell that people enjoy using the higher end equipment to put on some quality muscle! They also don’t have bitchy notes posted all over the gym whining that people don’t put up their weights and surprisingly all the weights seem to be put up without such nagging. As a side note, I find that lifters most guilty of not cleaning up their weights are the low– middle use lifters. The ones that come in 2 times per week and act like they know everything about lifting, ever. The real lifters usually clean up after themselves.
I was so impressed with this location that I actually wished I lived close enough to make this my regular gym! It has also made me want to go back to the review for my home Anytime Fitness location and take away a star from my previous review– because THIS location in Cumming is doing it RIGHT. Besides… it was nice going to a gym with lots of fit people– it keeps me motivated.

We have belonged to this gym for about 10 months. There are a few good things… location, and they have individual TV’s at the treadmills and ellipticals. The real problem is that the gym is filthy. The machines are never cleaned, ceiling fans dirty, TV’s are filthy with thick dust behind them as well as on the TV itself… and about ½ the fluorescent lights are burned out. Have complained numerous times, but there is always an excuse, owner out of town, owner out of the Country, it snowed… he just did it! Yesterday (Sunday) there were no paper towels by the treadmills… both containers empty. This is a gym… full of germs and needs to be kept clean. If the owner doesn’t want to put in the effort… needs to hire a cleaning service!

I’ve been a member for three years and overall am very happy there. They are always working on ways to make the experience better. The members consist of all ages and they offer a variety of fitness options. I do agree that peak hours are a challenge as it is a smaller gym and there is only so much equipment to go around. That said they are working on another expansion so hopefully they recognize the congestion as well.

I’m looking for a gym and anytime fitness is the latest one that I have checked out. I like that there are so many locations to choose from. This location in particular was much larger than it appeared. The concern with a gym is of course getting there when it is busy and having to wait for equipment. But it was pretty well stocked. They had approximately 8 eliptical machines, lots of weights, treadmills & bikes. If you are into free weights they had tha as well and a large (separate) room away from it all for their classes they offer (free with membership). I don’t tan, but if you do they also have tanning for about $ 10 a month. They are a little pricey compared to others unless you choose a 18 month package.

This Anytime Fitness gives a lot of room to the free weight area, probably half the facility. Great location with a real gym feel. Lots of room, unfortunately not a lot of equipment, so I avoid it during peak hours. No designated bench press stations but power racks are available. Only one shower available for men and one for women, another reason i don’t come during rush hours. Back room has a lot of extra training equipment for gravity and bodyweight training. Too many «warning» signs hung up around the gym. «$ 5 fine for failing to return weights to rack». Overall a good gym!

Great fitness club. Trainers are excellent, especially Jonathan. Try to get him for best training sessions.

I have been going to the Anytime Fitness in Cumming for about 4 months now and really appreciate the selection of cardio & fitness equipment. The place is always clean and they are always improving the place. I appreciate that you can use it 24hrs a day. If you ever thought about joining a gym this is a great place.
