Best Gyms with Free Weights near San-antonio, Texas

I love that it’s 24 hours. The price is amazing. The equipment and facilities are clean and readily available. It’s overall a great value and a near perfect environment for getting in shape.

The staff works really hard to keep this gym clean. Perhaps too hard lol. Suggest planet fitness to any gym seeker. This might be the best one in the area after they finally updated most of their equipment.

This is by far my favorite location. It's always very clean and well kept. The staff is always friendly. There's always plenty availability of whatever it is you're seeking.

The staff here sucks don't greet or even acknowledge you they will keep talking amongst themselves. Bathroom tissue is out and paper towels if you tell them they are empty they say oh OK then don't move.

Why post holiday hours and not honor them? Not even an email but will send spam and surveys? You posted about the water being off 3 days ago but still had the gym open so what’s the difference?

Had a very first workout here at this Gold's Gym location next to the Walmart. The manager Natalie was very informative and professional. She answered all my questions. The gym facility was very well kept up and clean. The men's bathroom was also very clean. I will definitely be coming back to sign up for a membership with my wife.

Plenty of equipment. Lots of weights and tons of people not re racking their weights, ESPECIALLY the same people over and over again. What happens when someone wants to use a machine and its loaded with 45s?? RERACK YOUR WEIGHTS OR STAY HOME!

Its improving so much throughout this year 2020! I've been getting stronger despite the pandemic. The only flaw is I wish members would stop using their phones while sitting on equipment! But overall 2 stars added back for improvement! But reopening the sauna and pool would be lovely... For all you mask supporters and lovers you will barely see people wearing masks, so no childlike complaints allowed either! Update as of July 2024: They opened up the sauna. Superb!!!!! A+++++++++

I just love how the people there are like family. I talk to Natalie (GM) as if I've known her for years and Darren ( personal trainer) takes care of my husband who is a stroke victim and going through recovery. They are encouraging, personal, and accommodating. I'm so happy my husband met Natalie and wanted to go to the gym. He loves it there!

Mostly everyone here is chill. Good selection of weights but place could use a face lift. Manager is always delightful to talk to

Was a good gym. i liked the setup. OK, staff, nothing special and ok cleanliness, but I did like the gym. Until my car got broken into outside in the parking lot after my gym sesh. Not necessarily the gyms fault, but when I asked to get footage from staff, they weren't very helpful and couldn't provide me footage. Won't be coming back to this gym :/

Walked in at 5am, multiple cardio machines have dried up sweat on them. Every single machine in also rusted and I just noticed that as I cleaned the machine. Now I understand at the end of the day they would be like that, but 5:15 am? Hmmm So then I take it upon myself clean it (gross) only to find that ALL of the sanitizer dispensers upstairs are completely empty.

This gym is just ok, has basic equipment available and a good amount of space. Their cleanliness standard is low and many amenities are blocked off or out of order.

The kid I just spoke to "Ross", needs customer service training. Inwas inquiring about gym membership and more. But this kid was short, vague, and unprofessional. Im reconsidering Golds gyms standards. My friends and peers talked great things. But this experience by this kid has made it sour!

If you want to see results train with Julie my triceps are definitely growing from the session I had & Edward has great charisma and helps me navigate this club successfully! Go Golds glad to say I train here!

Really good equipment and they always keep this place super spotless and clean 👍🏾💚

When i first started going, my weight scale was 265lb. I have been there 3yrs. I have lost 50 lbs and I'm not longer a diabetic. I weight 215lbs. I would to work on my legs more.

Our Planet Fitness is well managed. It's always very clean, and the equipment is in excellent condition. The Staff always Welcome us and answer any questions we may have. Also, NO THROWING HEAVY WEIGHTS on the floor like other gyms allow!

I enjoy this gym. It’s not over crowed like and there are no group fitness classes being forced down your throat. The gym and restrooms are clean as well.

Staff members are very friendly and helpful. Restroom, locker room, equipment and gym facilities are always very clean and sanitized. I work out with my friend and coworker, we feel safe working out here. Excellent experience every time! 

Small, a bit old, and doesn’t have a water filter which is an absolute must these days. Good for a quick workout but other reviews about the restrooms and cleanliness are accurate

Place is severally neglected. I usually dont complain about things but this is one of worst gyms I've been to. Cheap, used and old equipment in this gym. Loose seats and cables are showing signs of needing replacement. The dust and dirt complaint from someone who reviewed on here is true. Spider webs and dust bunnies everywhere. I couldn't last in here for 15 mins. Dont waste your time coming to this gym. You wouldn't like it. Bad image for anytime fitness

Staff is great and the gym is never too packed! I love coming in and knowing that I will be able to have an intense lift. Please update the gym equipment! It is quite old.

The gym was really good if you don’t have to shower there it’s fine but I had to shower there and the bathroom need maintenance really bad

Bathroom has not been cleaned since I’ve been coming here; same stains in toilet. Soap dispenser broken (atleast purchase from the dollar store), icing on the cake the ac been broken for 3 weeks now. Do better and provide a clean space.

I have been a member of anytime fitness in California, Oregon, Washington and now San Antonio Texas. The staff at my local Gym at Steven's Ranch is the best I have come across anywhere. Daniel, Joanna & Brock are extremely helpful & friendly. They keep the place spic and span too. The facility and equipment is high tech, updated and new. I highly recommend

I've been going to this Anytime Fitness location since July 2023, and overall, it’s a decent gym, though it has its pros and cons. On the positive side, the gym is rarely crowded, which means I don’t have to wait long for equipment, and it generally feels like a comfortable place to work out. It’s also quite clean, including the bathrooms, though some areas, like under the equipment, could use more attention. The staff and guests are friendly, and while the gym is small, it has most of the equipment I need to get a good workout. However, there are a few downsides. The membership is pricey at $30 every two weeks, which feels steep for a gym of this size and setup. The WiFi is consistently unreliable; for example, it’s been out since Thursday, and resetting the router would probably fix it. I’ve also heard complaints about expensive cancelation fees and a lack of transparency from the staff on cancelation policies. Some of the equipment is showing its age and could use better maintenance or replacement. Overall, it’s a convenient and quieter alternative to the busier gyms on Potranco and 1604, but the cost and minor issues keep it from being perfect.

I have been a member since January of 2024; i left a previous gym in the local area because they had a lack of clear policies regarding customer behavior. I am very pleased so far with my experience at this location and have used the national membership at other locations within the states of Texas with very little issues. This potranco location is my absolute favorite mostly due to their staff. The entire staff is very professional and they handle themselves with great attitudes. While i understand not everyone gets the same reaction, I am very happy with mine and intend to continue my membership through no short part of this location's staff impressions. Great work guys and continue being THE example for this brand/location.

I use to love this gym but lately the fans are Insanely high to the point when I am resting and my sweat is drying off so fast, I’ve complained to management and no one does anything! They are blasting full speed while I am on the stair master trying to breathe. Don’t come here if you want to sweat. I double checked with the workers there is no remotes for them, the only section that has the remotes is the studio.

My husband and I travel all over the USA and have visited many Anytime Fitness locations. Stevens Ranch is the cleanest we have ever encountered. The staff is helpful, the equipment is top notch and it’s a perfect location.

I love this gym and it’s amazing for its equipment. My account got terminated but that’s on me no matter what . The Gym is good and awesome for any athlete . I’m sorry to anyone I trespassed against there.. I know I could be very extra ;). But I want to live an extraordinary life... But people shouldn’t have to be hurt in the process so that is what this taught me. . Nevertheless It was fun while it lasted. I’ll miss the gym. The staff where very kind and also very approachable and when I was injured with cuts they had everything to keep the mission going . Ive worked out all around the world at different gyms in Africa and in Germany . If This gym it had a pool and a hot tub would be the best thing you could pay for when it comes to the physical pillar of your life . I pray that fitness connection is successful and everyone accomplishes their fitness goal…

Wanted to see how this gym compared to planet fitness and I can genuinely say that I’m impressed. It was very clean and had a wide variety of equipment. The employees had a great attitude and answered any questions I had, Brandon especially. His attitude could shift a bad into a great one. He offered great fitness and personal advice on how I can achieve and improve my health goals. If I could give this place more stars because of him, I definitely would. Check this gym out! You won’t regret it.

I want to share a disappointing experience I had at the Fitness Connection Gym in Westover Hills, specifically with Jocelyn, who claims to be the manager. The interaction was riddled with rude and condescending behavior, and it left me questioning the gym’s commitment to customer service. The issue began with the gym’s promotion of a “free 5-day pass,” which they use to attract potential members. However, when it was time to redeem the pass to bring a guest, Jocelyn claimed it had expired a week ago. This was surprising since the coupon made no mention of any expiration date. When I pointed this out, she stood firm, offering no explanation or compromise, and instead seemed intent on proving a point. To make matters worse, my guest explained they had traveled a considerable distance to visit the gym and, since they were already there, requested to use the pass for just that day. Jocelyn still rudely refused, showing no flexibility or understanding. Her attitude throughout the interaction was dismissive and condescending, with zero effort to provide a reasonable solution. The entire experience was frustrating and disappointing. As a business, Fitness Connection should prioritize treating customers with respect and fostering a welcoming environment. Jocelyn’s behavior was the opposite, unprofessional and unnecessarily combative. If this is how the gym handles potential customers, I can’t imagine the experience for long-term members. I strongly urge Fitness Connection to reevaluate how they train staff, particularly those in managerial roles, to ensure they reflect the values of good customer service. Until then, I cannot recommend this location to anyone seeking a positive gym experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience thanks to Brandon and Sergio! They were both incredibly knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and took the time to show me around the gym. Their professionalism and enthusiasm made me feel confident that this was the right gym for me. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcomed and informed. Highly recommend!

Grrrrrreat gym! I used to go to a gym 4 minutes away from my home, this one its 14 minutes away and even like that I decided to change, so I think its says something; about the environment, the equipments, the staff Ashley on the reception, Jake the guy with piercings, Brandon with his hype always, for real, very friendly and great place to come and train, you can even train at the peak hours 5-6 pm and its never crowded to the point you can use the equipments, cheap as hell compared to the 45 a month I was paying, all good in here, try it out 👍🏼

Its small, but it does have pretty much everything you need and it feels cleaner and newer. Both times I’ve gone so far it hasn’t been busy which is nice! They do have a water filter (not at many AFs), squat rack, good selection of free weights and dumbbells, and a cooler for pre workout drinks if you need that boost!

The manager, Mike, went SO FAR ABOVE AND BEYOND in assisting me with my questions. I was very, very, VERY impressed with the level of customer service and cannot say enough about what an excellent impression he left on me.

Easy to find, for its location it is much and enough equipment needed to get a good overall full body workout in. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. Updated equipment and even refreshments such as water and energy drinks plus protein drinks. Great lighting and AC too.

Had a terrible interaction with the gym manager. In my opinion the gym just cares about the money from its members. This is the first anytime fitness location i have had a bad experience at. The manager told me he was only doing what the owner told him to. The Olmos Park and Castle Hills locations are better facilities with better management.

About a year or two ago the owner threw a fit and paused my membership so I couldn’t get in because I left a bad review. Unless they have new management from then, the owner is still very unprofessional and immature. If it is the same owner, don’t be surprised if you see the way he responds to this review as hostile and aggressive.

I have been going here for a few years. Every time I enter the staff waves and says hello. They are very kind and happy people that produce an atmosphere of kindess. Also, the gym is very clean as there are always towelets available to wipe the equipment down. Also, they have an app that gives a live count of how many people are currently there, so I can go when I know it's less busy. The app does a whole lot more than that but that is one feature I like. You can also make your own workout routines in the app. Finally, new equipment is also being brought into the gym which is a really great way to show appreciation for the members. Oh and did I forget to mention the gym is open 24/7? Any day, any time. I really think it's one of the best gyms out there. You get what you pay for and more. Highly recommend.

✅ Supportive Staff ✅ Friendly Trainers ✅ Open 24/7 ✅ Smaller, Less Crowded Gym Area AnyTime Fitness was my gym of choice after moving from Las Vegas, NV to San Antonio, TX. I felt unsure of where to even begin after falling off the wagon in my fitness journey. I was able to get a free intro session in with Olga, and she helped me regain the confidence and clarity I needed to fall back in love with the gym. She's incredibly personable and went through all my challenges, workout structures, and training experiences with detail and patience. She would sit down and re-arrange my workout routines and always made time to correct my form and guide me on days we weren't training together. If you're looking for a friendly, personable trainer who pushes you but still feels like a friend -- Olga is your person! She's really great at mind-muscle connection and has an amazing sense of humor. Helps the time go by, especially on days you feel like you're dragging yourself to the gym. In terms of the training area, this location is small but not crowded. You'll still be able to find a spot at the equipment you want. I've never had issues getting to where I needed to be by the end of my hour. From what I've heard, they are also getting new equipment in! There's always cleaning wipes available, and people are pretty good at cleaning up after themselves. The only thing I wish they had were paper towels or a towel service. Lastly, the staff at this gym are extremely supportive and understanding. Shout-out to Ramiro for helping me get set up at the gym and Miguel for helping me navigate my transition to a different coach/gym due to medical changes. They made the process smooth and I'm impressed by their professionalism, which many other local gyms lack. All in all, this is a fantastic gym for those looking to get a no-nonsense workout in and out! Very beginner friendly, and also the perfect size for introverts to really get a workout in.

It is hard to find a gym like this in such a large city. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don't want more people to know about this well-kept secret. It has a small town locally-owned gym vibe. You can tell immediately that all the employees are passionate about health and fitness, and love what they do. In two days, I've had extremely professional, kind, and helpful interactions with DJ, Olga, Jude, and Tyler. DJ was incredibly understanding about me trying to figure out whether or not I wanted to commit to this gym and wasn't pushy at all. I ended up leaving the first day without signing up and came back an hour or two later to join after reflecting because it felt right. I was assigned Jude as a coach and my first session with him was fantastic. He's extremely knowledgeable and was very attentive to my history and experience with fitness. One thing I really appreciated about him was he didn't let me opt out of my reps when I started struggling. He was patient. He told me to take my time. But he made me finish because he knew I could do it. I was also impressed by how the staff walked around the gym and greeted or had quick chats with multiple people they knew by name. The gym itself is safe, clean, modern, and well-maintained. If you are an Apple user, Apple Fitness+ comes free with the membership and is extremely well integrated into the Anytime Fitness app which is a huge perk. This isn't the closest gym to where I live, but it will be worth going a bit out of my way for the above.

Love the convenience, the cleanliness, and of course the up to date equipment.

My time at Anytime Fitness was well spent. I live less than 1/2 a mile from the gym. It is within walking distance from my home. My initial visit was pleasant and informing. My meeting with Olga couldn’t have been better. Olga was welcoming, professional, knowledgeable about best practices enthusiastic, personable, and interested in my concerns. Olga carefully reviewed each expected movement and use of equipment. She detailed the benefits of each. The gym was clean with equipment distributed with accessibility in mind. It wasn’t crowded and “loud”. I hope it maintains its neighborhood feel. Thank you so much, Olga! 💐

I love that it’s open 24/7 & the hydromassage is definitely worth it 💯 Mike’s customer service is always on point, i appreciate you Mike 🙏🏼 Enrique is on point always keeps the gym clean & safe with a positive attitude always i appreciate you 👍🏼

I had a similar experience as mentioned from other reviews regarding billing. As a first-time gym goer, I was incredibly disappointed by my experience with Crunch Fitness and their billing practices. I initially signed up for the $25/month plan with my wife, but the very next day, I inquired about downgrading to the $9.99/month plan. To my surprise, I was told this would require paying four separate annual fees! Despite this, I continued with the $25/month plan until I lost my job in late August and had to move. I called Crunch and spoke with a supervisor who assured me they could freeze my account for three months without any charges. Fast forward to today, and my situation hasn't changed, so I called to cancel. I was met with "Andrew," a manager with zero customer service skills, who simply recited policy at me and informed me I was past due. I haven't used the gym in over three months! This whole experience has been a nightmare. I feel misled and taken advantage of. I refuse to pay these past-due fees, and frankly, this has soured me on the entire gym industry.

I would like to thank Denise and Jazmin for their patience in helping me get set up as a new gym member. Long story short, they went the extra mile to try different solutions for an account setup process that wasn’t exactly linear. Most people default to doing the bare minimum, so I appreciate them for not being those type of people. If the rest of the staff do customer service like Denise and Jazmin, then I’m sure gym members for Crunch - Bandera will be in good hands.

Save your money this gym is HELLA DIRTY all the time. The place leaks all the time. The machines are always broken. The staff are lazy af and don’t trust the stuff the hold ur items they just going to steal it. Yall are better off getting a membership somewhere else.

My spouse and I really enjoy coming to the gym. Everyone is always friendly and the gym is clean. My only disappointment has been the coaches when they are training. I understand you are doing personal training, but please be courteous of other members who also pay for their membership. Yes, the member has payed extra for your personal time , but our time should be valued too. Please avoid just giving us a stare to move or say you will be taking over the machine. This is the third time this has happened to my spouse and I. Thank you.

Came here because the gym I normally go to was crowded. This gym is so unkept. All the machines are squeaky and noisy. Some of them barely work. The cables to the pulleys are all worn out. Weights are scattered and not sorted correctly. The placement of all the machines is very poor as well. I wouldn't come here, just go to the bigger gym across 1604 because the setup there is years ahead of this one.

Gym is in good condition, gets pretty full like anywhere else but I get a good workout in. Locker rooms are usually kept clean as well.

Only let's locals work out here. Dumb policy. Response to GM Lauren: The person I spoke with had an attitude and didn't tell me there was a paid day pass. They told me I couldn't use the gym or get any day pass unless I was a texas resident and had an attitude about it, not understanding I'm not a texas resident, basically telling me I can't come and use this gym at all when I've used it before and told me I had to go somewhere else. It's was some young guy. Upset enough to leave a review.

I have been a member of this gym location when it was a Spectrum Gym. It was a good gym until CoVid happened and the management closed down the hot tub, steam baths and swimming pool. Also, in 2021 the management removed several of the good tread mills and replaced them with used older models. This week the management removed the last two good tredmills and have abandoned us to the vintage models that are more uncomfortable to exercise on. I have been exercising regularly since 1975 and I am an old time marathon runner. I can handle the tougher machines but they are not good for novice runners or people who want to run on a modern more comfortable machine. I am disappointed in Bandera Pointes’ downward spiral into a less comfortable poverty look with the tread mills that they have chosen. I can handle it but I am not a glutton for punishment but I think the management are.

UPDATE WARNING: I have downgraded my original 3 star review to 1 star due to charges still being billed to me months after cancellation. I canceled my non-contract bi-weekly military membership after moving completely out of state by filling out their cancellation form in-person at their front desk. Fast forward 60 Days later and I am still being charged the membership fees to my account. I have not been able to contact anyone of importance at this gym because they’re all “busy.” This is a scam tactic used by many gyms like golds, and it looks like it’s happened to hundreds of other people who try to cancel their gym memberships. I have now cancelled my debit account to stop charges, but I have seen others get collection agencies harassing them and hits on their credit for taking this route. If you’re reading this, don’t join Golds Gym unless you want to never be able to cancel the membership. Original Review: Over the past year this place has definitely gone downhill as far as cleanliness and clientele it attracts. Ever since they got rid of the color gym tier levels (used to be a ruby gym), this place got busier and less maintenance is performed on basic things like worn seat upholstery on equipment. They have the typical gym crowd levels with 4:30-7:30 pm on weekdays being very busy, and the first 2 months after New Years being very very busy with people who typically never go to the gym and just walk on all the treadmills for a hour. For the most part, no one is there on the weekends though (I took the photo I’m providing on a Saturday at 4 pm) Overall it’s a smaller Golds Gym that could use some work.

Favorite location on the northwest side of town. Smaller in comparison to other locations but has everything I need. I never have to skip over a workout or machine from being over crowded like at other locations. Very well kept with an outstanding cleaning staff present daily.

Easy going no frills gym. Greeted with a smile and leave with a goodbye. Staff is nice. Easy check in. No pressure here. Staff from what I can see do an excellent job training folks. They seem knowledgeable and consistent with other members. The gym is aged but hard to leave with the laid back people there. Cleaned really well during the week. Weekend is a different story. As of late watered down body soap in mens room for hand washing. Parking is abundant and windows to look out to see if car is getting broke into. Price is fair. Also a lot of fellow veterans there. Afternoons the place is empty. I highly recommend joining.

Everything I've been looking for! New equipment, a pool, beautiful locker rooms, a sauna, a women's only area (for my girlfriend), and much more! The location is superb, as it does not get very busy during lunch hours.

I've been coming here for about a year now, maybe a little longer. This location has very friendly staff, and the vibe here is laid back. I think it's a great location for a mature crowd and beginners. No intimidation from staff or members. I was worried because it's small, but I've grown to like that. The manager is professional and friendly. It makes for an inviting atmosphere.

Great gym! Staff is friendly! Not very crowded, and has a good selection of exercise equipment.
