Anytime Fitness

Love this gym! The staff really makes you feel welcomed and at home. And you’re always welcomed with a warm smile. The equipment is great. And the annex room is a hidden gem! Bags, tires, ropes, even a ninja warrior style workout obstacle course. This gym is where I call home.

Don’t let the peaceful atmosphere fool you, this gym has everything for a complete workout. Everything is maintained and wide assortment of nutritional supplements. Pound for pound, no better gym.

I’ve been a member of Anytime Fitness Downtown St Pete for about 8 years. I’m a health conscious active Sr Citizen and this gym is perfect for all ages. Free classes for every level and personal attention by a very knowledgeable staff. Always clean always awesome.

I loooove this gym. It is in a great location and is very clean. While the facility is small in size it does offer an additional studio area next door that can be used throughout the day. There is more then enough equipment and machines to train in whatever manner you do so. This gym offers several classes weekly. It even offers a (free open to everyone) boot camp once amonth on the second Saturday. I like having options when it comes to training and this gym offers options. What I appreciate most about this gym is the people. I signed up expecting a membership and I gained a family. The gym manager and owners are absolutely amazing. They care about their members. Not just as members but as people. Being a part of this gym helped me transform my body (loosing 60+ pounds 11% of my body weight in fat) and my life.

Good location in the heart of Downtown St Petersburg. Open ²⁴⁄₇. Smaller facility than other locations though. Not enough machines for an entire body workout.
Huge studio next door with seperate entrance for program workouts, such as yoga and strength training. Great yoga instructor on Tuesday for beginner and intermediate.

I’m still pretty new to this gym, but for being someone who was extremely intimidated by the lack of exercise I’ve done in the past two years, they were pretty welcoming. Most, if not all, classes are all at «your best pace.» I love the zumba class on Mondays, definitely recommend it to anyone! You can tell who has been there for a while, but it’s easy to make friends with the other gym-​goers just as much as the trainers and staff members.
I bought a 6-​month membership for my own sake but reality is, it is a good deal. With the membership, I got a free hour with a trainer who was very nice, Aris. She understood where I was coming from (in terms of current routines) and she gave me full attention as to where to start off with exercises past cardio. She even sat with me to write down all that we did that hour so I wouldn’t forget. She didn’t push me hard to buy into a personal trainer, which I appreciated very much.
The fact that I can access the gym whenever I want, helps a lot because of the multiple responsibilities I have throughout the week. Being that I can go whenever, as a woman, I had a concern about the lighting and security of the gym after hours. The location of the entrance is on a well-​lit corner of Central Ave, definitely not a concern.
As far as the size of the gym, I prefer its humble scale. Any larger, I probably would have forgotten what machines were my best fit and I would’ve ended up gravitating towards the cardio machines as my only machines. Small would have to be your preference if you did choose this gym, though. Seems like a lot of people like it, definitely worth checking out if you’re new to the area or want to start some sort of gym routine!

Easily the best Anytime Fitness in the area. It is small though and there’s only one squat rack so it can be crowded. I generally go when no one is there, though.

Cool gym with a fun little cardio area. If you are from a big town and use to larger gyms, this may not be for you. Prices are ideal and it’s hardly packed so that’s also nice.

The location of this Anytime Fitness in downtown St. Petersburg is so convenient. It will make it easy for me to get a workout in when I need to be in the downtown area. I liked how they retained the brick walls from whatever used to be used here before a gym. It made it much more interesting than the bland, sterile interior I’m used to seeing. The six treadmills they had were «True Fitness» brand, which I had never seen before. For cardio they also had a Jacob’s ladder and stair stepper, which isn’t common. There is a separate area for aerobics but it’s not too large. The dumbbells go up to the standard 100 pounds. The vending machine situation was very strange. There was a mini-​fridge with a sign saying that if you take a drink you should push your payment under the office door. I had a $ 20 and a credit card, which meant no protein drink for me. Pretty frustrating.

My experience as a member itself with the gym was fine. The gym facilities were fine and I had a good relationship with the club. However, circumstances arose where I had to cancel my membership. The club agreed to the cancellation, however, their billing service did not. I contacted the Anytime Fitness corporate and they said that it should have been cancelled and said they’d look into it. Six months go by and I am still getting billed. This also includes the last two months when my membership technically expired May 8^th and I wrote in my contract that there would be no autorenew.
They have come across as saying one thing and doing another. I hate to say it because the club itself was nice and I enjoyed my time there, but I have come across dishonest people through this process.

I usually go to the North St. Pete location, but have began to go to the downtown location. The gym is a little bit smaller but still has good equipment and is very nice. I will continue to use this gym!

This location is the second best in St. Pete in my opinion. While it’s location is great it is small and does not have nearly as much equipment as other ATFs. It is less crowded than the 4^th st location but it’s size still limits it. If you are in to tanning go to the 4^th st location. However, the location down 38^th is the best in town.

I recently joined this gym to take advantage of its buy-​one-​year, get-​one-​year free deal. So far, I have been more than impressed. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable. It’s evident they really care for their members and the facility.
The gym itself is on the smaller side, but it still has everything I need to get in a great workout. Like many gyms, the treadmills and other cardio equipment are crowded during peak hours (5:30−7).
I also recommend the classes, which are taught by local instructors who run their own boot camps or teach yoga at area studios. The yoga class taught by Andre is a good workout, and the students are all incredibly nice, introducing themselves to newbies (like me!) and exchanging pleasantries after class.
