Anytime Fitness

I’ve been a member here since 2020 and it USED to be a decent gym until new management took over one year ago. They only care about YOUR hard earned MONEY going into THEIR POCKET. I signed up for the “free” 6 week challenge. It’s NOT FREE. They con you into spending $300 on supplements. Half way thru, the trainer asked me if I wanted to continue with the group fitness classes for a “low cost” of $55 per week if I signed up right then and there (on top of the $420 per year I already pay for my normal membership). I told them I like the classes but I like lifting better and HIIT doesn’t work for me. He then told me I could do 3 classes per week and lift 2 days per week. I told him no. He was trying to negotiate the cost with me and I told him that it wasn’t something I could afford. He then laughed in my face and told me that it was an excuse and that if I can’t afford it, to start putting money aside. The next time I came in, he cornered me and was pressing me to signup for the classes and when I told him NO, he told me that if I lift 5 days a week, then I’m going to injure myself and I won’t lose weight by just lifting. I’m not a newbie to lifting and have been lifting for 15+ years so I know what works and doesn’t work, and HIIT doesn’t. My brother talked to the owner (Jacob) about my encounter, and Jacob told my brother that me not being able to afford it was an excuse and that if I’m not losing weight, then I’m not following the program correctly (which I was since I didn’t want the $300 to go to waste). When the owner talked to me about everything, he asked if I had a thyroid issue.. instead of understanding that what might work for most people doesn’t work for all. He also told me he moved the trainer to a new location so I wouldn’t feel like I was being judged every time I went to the gym. That lasted one week. Aside from the awful management, broken equipment takes forever to be fixed, pins are missing from machines, and a lot of torn upholstery. I DO NOT recommend this gym or the Valencia location as they own both. Happy lifting and stay healthy :)

I wish I could give this place negative numbers. All they care about is your money. I was there less than a week then I had an accident. I broke ribs and bruised my chest insides. I could not finish my 6 week sign up. Because I was moving and was nor allowed to do anything for another 4 to six weeks. I asked for a partial refund. All I got well you signed a contract sorry. I can hear you laboring to breathe but you signed a contract. Really when I sat down and talked to the owner before signing. He kept saying I care about the people and will do anything if your not happy with the results. So I'm physically unable to do anything in a gym. So I paid $700.00 for two classes. Thanks anytime fitness for caring so much. My advice is to run and run fast from this gym or this owner as fast as you can.

The owner reached out to me personally to ask how he could make my experience better based upon my survey. I told him I would love for them to have a heavier set of kettlebells…To my surprise, Jake (The Owner) offered to buy them for the gym! That’s pretty awesome customer service—-Bill Pillar

Joined a few weeks ago to get my middle aged body in better shape. The classes are great and the trainers are great at working with my limitations after major surgery to help me succeed. The open communication is very helpful also.

This may be my favourite gym ever and I have been a member of many. That includes the evil PF word. It is enormous and spectacularly well equipped. I always try to compliment Mr. Bob and Mr. Jacob and the team who maintain the facility constantly. They are so friendly and professional. Also I like to give an encouraging comment to numerous seniors and brave persons overcoming strokes and disabilities who work out. It makes me grateful for my own condition which is good but not great. Other fine athletes come in but it is never too packed to get in. It is a very congenial gym culture here.
