This gym is awesome! Love the 24/7 access, equipment, the people and the cleanliness. I have used many different gyms and personal trainers over the years and you cannot beat Anytime Fitness. On top of that, James is a phenomenal strength training coach and has helped me reach elite status in almost every strength training activity we do. Access to other Anytime Fitness facilities countrywide is an added bonus when we travel.

Was in the midst of joining when I was informed that another member cannot help train me at anytime fitness so I signed up for planet fitness instead. Planet fitness is less than half the cost of anytime and has so many other perks included. The equipment is pretty outdated here as well so dodged a bullet for sure and hope this helps others considering which local gym to join.

Love it because it's the least crowded Anytime Fitness I've been to
I had a good day today at the YMCA. Loving the hot tub. I want to get a membership so I can join.
I went to the gym with the intent to mind my own business, train hard and truly focus on personal excellence... As well as helping others when and if possible and not socializing to much... I always treated all with respect and dignity... My membership was canceled for excessive grunting, still shocked by that one...lol Originally, I was going to take legal action, now just letting it go and letting god... I forgive all who judged me before getting to know me, God bless...😇👍😇👍

I've been to a lot of gyms over the years, and many Anytimes. This is a great location. Very clean, well laid out and organized, not crowded. The bathrooms are honestly among the best of any Anytime I've been to, I don't think I've ever seen a bigger or more high-end shower setup in another AF location. They clearly spent a lot of capital on those. In general, this is an uncrowded 24/7 gym with good equipment and well kept and clean. Would recommend.
Signed my daughter up for gymnatics. I signed her up for the little gymmies since she is 3.5. First day of class we were told if the kids didnt listen they would sit with parents for 2 minutes then come back in. If it happened again they would have to leave. I saw my daughter get redirected a few times but she was never sent out. At the 3rd class my daughter wasnt having the best morning and I could tell she wasnt following along but would listen when redirected. After the class the teacher came out and said if it continued she would have to be moved to a mommy and me class. I chose not to return as i knew she would do it again and I wasnt interested in a mommy and me class. They really need to make a 3 and 4yr old class as 3 to 5 is a huge difference. We are talking about kids here most toddlers usually need to be redirected. Sad and disappointed that it didnt work out and i lost out on money. My only other complaint is you cant see very good in the parent section and my daughter would smell weird after being on the mats.

My honest review as a novice gym junkie:
I am visiting in town and I must say I do believe this gym is geared to older folks.
Most of the equipment looked outdated, in terms of their functions.

For example:
The leg press does not come all the way down and the foot plate was weirdly designed. Because of this, it really put pressure on my knees and I did not feel comfortable pressing my usual 700+ pounds of weight on this leg day. The option to sit up really brings you forward as well and by it not coming down further felt like I was doing box squats, but in the leg press version.

The stair stepper did not function properly. I had the belt on and pressed my pelvis all the way into the mechanism where the functions are and it still was too slow. I tried to pull the cable out further and just held it as I tried to climb, hoping it would go faster, but it did not.

The Smith machine also doesn't go all the way down, so I'm unable to do a deep squat or hip thrusts. The bar is thinner than other Smith machines I've used. The lock on it is not designed well and because there are rather large gaps inbetween levels, I was either on my tippy toes to get bar up or squatting quite a bit, making the whole process uncomfortable as my position were out of normal alignment.

The leg extention machine, the handle to hold on and the the handle to adjust the height made me nervous, because the height adjustment handle came close to my hand. I had to be sure to keep my hand closed fully around the grip handle. Someone with bigger hands might get them pinched.

I ended up doing 110 pound RDL's, used the spin bike, used the cable machine for kick-backs and walked the treadmill at an incline.

Their backroom is nice. They have wifi. Cubby's to put your things, bathrooms and I really didn't explore the rest while I was there.

Again, I do believe this is great for an older crowd for sure, but I felt like I fell short during my workout. I was also a guest here.
My secretary who I am very close with brought her daughter here for gymnastics class who is 3 years old. The instructor kicked her out for running back and forth to the water fountain. Shes 3 years old. It was the first day. At 3 years old isn't the main point to get rid of the energy? I couldn't believe it when I heard. Really shameful guys.
I had a membership for three years. By year three there monthly fee was more than some yearly gym fees. I saw a commercial on tv if joined back in January enrollment fees would be waived. I called they said they weren't part of the promotion. I recently had a hip replacement and wanted a safe place to walk with the bad weather outside. They said had to pay enrollment fees and sign up for monthly bank installments or pay a daily fee which is more than a monthly fee at some gyms. Horrible way to treat members and former members.
I love this place. The staff is extremely friendly, the child care is reliable and trustworthy, and the facility is very nice. You have plenty of options to choose from between different workout classes to take, swimming in an indoor pool, lifting with a variety of equipment, running on an indoor track, and even indoor racket ball. It's a great facility, and especially nice in the winter time when you don't get outside much. It's very spacious.
Over the years, I have worked out at every type of facility in the area
and I find the YMCA to be one of the best. It offers any age group a variety of fitness routines. The equipment, personnel and physical plant set it apart from most.The entire building is well maintained and I am a stickler for cleanliness. I have utilized the weight room, the women's locker room, the spinning room as well as the yoga and fitness classrooms. The "Y" is constantly updating, whether to install new equipment or for building maintenance.The lounge area with free coffee and tea is welcoming. Membership rates are competitive. Although they do not offer the deep discounts the franchise gyms do, they have more to offer. If you haven't been to the YMCA recently, you should check it out.

The quality of the gym is great. But the owners are nasty, nasty ladies who are very condescending. The type of people who think their God's gift to earth. Which makes all the difference for me. If you're desperate for late night workouts this place can offer you that but other than that luxury id recommend 1. Saving your hard earned money and using a more practically priced gym 2. Just using another gym In general. Not recommended.

Absolutely horrible. My wife and I worked out there, and it was pleasant enough. However she developed a disease which makes it hard for her to stand, let alone work out. First off they wouldn't let her cancel. They told her she had to CONTINUE TO PAY for membership. After allot of back and forth they agreed if she dropped off a doctor's note, they would cancel it. After months later we get a message from some lawyers saying the debt is $1,024 dollars and ARE TAKING HER TO COURT! They are trying to bully people into paying for their Failing business! What kind of sick company prosecutes a woman who CANT walk for a gym membership? The answer? Anytime fitness. Think before you get into bed with a company who would do such a thing. Feel free to contact me to fix this.
Extremely kind and helpful. I've had the fitness center trainers contact me because I was below my goals and they wanted to know if there was anything they could do to help. Desk staff are wonderful--one of them greets me by name every time I come in (REALLY good memory!!).

One of the aquatics coaches (Phyllis) is encouraging, understanding, and makes water workout sessions incredibly fun (I've NEVER had fun exercising before!).

This facility is transgender friendly, as well--As a non-binary transperson I was extremely apprehensive about going there, but I haven't had any issues from staff or members.

I'm glad I made the decision to join!
