Anytime Fitness in Lakewood is under new ownership and is about to undergo a total upgrade and renewal. Shalia is a fantastic on site staff person, who is easy to work with and wants to make sure your workout and experience meet all your needs. Shalia and Hannah, the regional manager, are very responsive. I highly recommend this gym. It is a compact facility, but encompasses an excellent array of equipment, free weights and training opportunities.

Do you really need two levels to your gym? NO. Do you really need a basketball court or a "Champions Room"? NO. What you need is a place with weights & cardio machines that help you on your fitness journey & thats what this Anytime Fitness is. The branch is small, intimate makes the most of the space. There is also a hard-body trainer who simultaneously will make you question your journey AND motivate you to do better. Thats also an advantage to having a small gym. She shows genuine interest in her clients fitness journeys and is always there with advice and tips. Ive had memberships at bigger gyms and they were cool and everything but, the only thing Im missing from this one is a heavy bag.

First and only time I will ever go to anytime fitness in Lakewood.
I like to clean up on my way home. I'm a bit of a germaphobe. As I was walking out the bathroom door there was a man obviously waiting for me. He said "did you just take a shower", I said yes he said "this isn't a truck stop" "the showers are for people who work out." I said I'm a paying member for over a decade". He said "can't you read", I didn't know what he was talking about. He said "you couldn't miss that sign in the bathroom".
I marched into the bathroom thinking it didn't exist, then i seen a white piece of paper with light pink writing that he was talking about. I had missed it. I did read quite a few other signage but not that one . I walked out of the bathroom and said, "sir I really didnt see it I'm sorry". He said "what are you blind how could you not see it. Throwing my genuine apology in my face and calling me a liar. I said" I pay dues here but don't worry I won't be back" he said " " no you wont, im keeping you people and the trash out". I also have a membership at planet fitness. I might just end anytime. Which would be sad because I love the pearl street one I usually go to, but on principal I don't know I can continue. The manager is a narcisistic control freak who represents anytime fitness.

**NEW OWNERSHIP**

(Past experience w/ previous owner)
I use to come to this gym with my family back in high school until the previous owner decided to talk poorly about my brother and father. I understand if they forgot to wipe some equipment down, but that does not excuse or make it rightful to talk poorly about someone’s family member…. TO THE FAMILY MEMBER AND CUSTOMER???
After that distasteful interaction, my family and I stopped our membership with this location and made the extra 20 min commute to the DuPont AF. It was worth the extra gas if it meant being able to peacefully workout and not have to worry about getting bombarded with 10 missed calls and threats of getting fined $$$ for the tiniest reasons.
-
Today I pulled into the lot and saw a big sign “NEW AF OWNERSHIP” I genuinely thought it was too good to be true. After 9 years of being an AF member, I spent 5 of those years commuting to DuPont JUST to avoid this place. I checked the Google reviews, JUST to be sure and with pure delight, the sign was real! And to top off the good news, the manager from DuPont AF was there! (Glad they chose her, she brings good vibes all around)
I immediately felt at ease and after talking to her, she informed me all the new exciting plans they have for the gym; renovations, new equipment (FINALLY.. after being a member of that gym since 2016-2017 with the previous owner.. I NEVER saw any enhancements or new equipment.. even with his outrageous annual fee) and how the DuPont owners bought this one out!
I’ve never had issues at the DuPont gym and I’m genuinely so glad to know they’re the new owners. I’m even more happy that I can cut my commute from 20-25 mins to 5!
Excited for what this new ownership will bring! :D

Fairly new to this gym but have been to many gyms over my life... The equipment all works, it is clean and friendly, and I hear upgrades are planned. As far as I'm concerned it meets my needs already. At this point not overly crowded any time I have been. A gym decision is kind of personal based on what you are looking for, how you work out, and what you need... But I would say this is a great gym assuming it meets your needs like it does mine.

The previous owner was strict about rules and it was necessary. The new owners pretty much let anything go on there, when they arrived all the rules pretty much disappeared. The members especially the newer ones who appeared suddenly are entitled and leave equipment lying around on the floor for people like myself to trip over. When asked by myself if they plan on putting it away they laugh and tell me to take care of it for them, it's not their job. Other members I know there have asked me if I've noticed that it's turned in to a free for all sicr owners changed. Now we have lazy, arrogant and entitled people allowed to do what they want.

I've really enjoyed this gym! The owner is very nice and approachable, but also firm about the gym policies, which I really appreciate. It helps keep the space respectful and well-run. The gym is always clean, and one of the best parts is that it's never too crowded. I rarely ever have to wait for a machine or weight, even during peak hours.

As someone who trains legs and glutes regularly, I do a lot of hip thrusts. One thing to note: the Smith machine doesn’t go quite low enough for hip thrusts, and the benches aren’t bolted down. It threw me off at first, but I figured out how to use a sturdy box with a yoga mat behind it to set up for barbell hip thrusts. It actually worked out well and helped me build more stability. Just something to be aware of if you're planning your workouts around certain equipment.

Overall, it’s a great gym. clean, well-managed, and easy to get a full workout in without delays. Definitely recommend it!

Horrible service. The manager is very unprofessional. It's not my normal gym location. Running errands in the area. Wouldn't let me use the shower nor workout once I told him I just got off work & planned to shower prior to my workout. He seemed like he was getting a kick off the power-trip. I dont recommend doing any sort of business from this type of "street hustler" individual 🙄

Should have read the reviews first, luckily I didn’t have any altercations with the staff, went off business hours, but was taken aback by the signage posted saying “this isn’t a truck stop” “bathrooms for people working out only” and idk about you but a lot of people pay for gyms like these to be able to use the amenities wherever whenever. And there wasn’t any wifi, which again, paying to use these amenities. It’s a small gym and at first I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt that maybe the bathrooms just get crowded which may still be the case, but the lack of understanding of your customer base is crazy. And reading here the hostility, I’m going to avoid this place in the future.

I've used the Lakewood Anytime Fitness Center for the last two years. Looking at the reviews so far there are a lot of one star reviews and a lot of five star reviews and a mix in between. This is a gym that actually expects its members to follow the posted rules. Rules of which aren't unreasonable for a gym. I believe a lot of the one star reviews get posted because most other gyms, whether they have guidelines or not, don't enforce them.

The owner, in a professional manner, has given me a few "pointers" regarding the rules throughout the years. I just acknowledge my mistake and go from there. Don't take it personally. It's as easy as that.

In return, I get a clean, quiet place to work out 24 hours a day. I haven't gone there one time when the gym wasn't spotless. The cleaning supplies are always fully stocked.

I have a Planet Fitness membership as well and use it when it is convenient to where I am at the time. What I witness at Planet Fitness (and many other gyms I've been to) makes me appreciate this gym all the more.

If you want a place to work out where people are actually expected to wipe machines down after using them, put portable workout equipment back after use, not yammer on their cellphone, and is always clean, this is the perfect gym for you.

The owner of this location is beyond unprofessional—he’s outright hostile. The moment I walked in, he aggressively confronted me with, “Do you need something?” as if my mere presence was an issue. Already taken aback, I simply asked where the bathroom was, to which he snapped, “I don’t do that here, this isn’t a truck stop.” Excuse me? That’s how you speak to paying members? When I expressed my disbelief, he doubled down with a dismissive “There’s a Safeway across the street.”

Let me be clear—if you have policies, fine. But there’s a way to communicate them without being rude, condescending, and completely unprofessional. My husband later went in to address this absurd treatment, and the owner immediately became defensive, aggressive, and combative. It didn’t stop there—he even left me a threatening voicemail saying, “Come back and see what the situation is,” clearly trying to provoke a physical altercation.

After checking Google reviews, it turns out this isn’t an isolated incident—countless others have reported similar experiences with this owner. It’s shocking that Anytime Fitness continues to let this man represent their brand. He has no business running a customer-facing establishment, and it’s downright embarrassing for the company to be associated with someone like this. Avoid this location at all costs.

The manager, Corey, is a disciplined family man and very friendly and takes excellent care of this facility. I have never had a problem that he was unwilling to fix or help me through. He even takes the time to give me fitness and diet advise. He's seriously one of the nicest guys I've ever met. (Keeping in mind that he is still responsible for the wellbeing of the club and it's members, maybe some people have to see his stern side when they don't follow rules, but I'm not here to establish my dominance, I'm just here to workout, lol) Safety and sanitation are a top priority here. He makes sure everybody inside of the facility is a paying member and have their own private access (key fob or phone). The bathrooms smell so good and the hand soap changes daily sometimes! Bath and body works foam soap! It is true that this gym better serves people who thrive in a predictable and clean environment. Some people prefer to use dirty equipment and have loud conversations in small confined spaces where other people are present. If you are one of those people, this gym is not for you. If you are a bully or can't handle criticism, this gym is not for you. If you make the rules where you go, this gym is not for you. BUT!! If you are a clean and respectful individual who values structure and cleanliness and respect, this gym is DEFINITELY for you! I did want to mention that I have been to several anytime fitness locations and I have incredibly high standards for the level of integrity offered to patrons (excellent customer service, personal accountability, genuine care and concern, etc.) Once I found this gym, I knew it was the one for me.

Manager/owner not very friendly and very uptight. It's as if he's looking for reasons to kick people out. Maybe very OCD not sure. This anytime fitness is a vibe very different from the other anytime fitness locations I have experienced. I do not recommend and will not be back to this location

It always bothers me when I come across an AF location like this one.

Anytime Fitness wants to advertise themselves to travelers and sell their access to every location, but then they allow managers and owners, like this one, to impose ridiculous restrictions that allow clubs to restrict memberships for merely *gasp* using the bathroom facilities they paid for without working out.

There are so many reasons why someone might go to the gym and wind up deciding not to work out, and this location basically threatens and coerces you to exercise when you might not physically be able to do so. It sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

"I realized I was still too sore from my last workout and couldn't exercise today, but the signs stated that my membership would be revoked if I didn't exercise, and so I pushed myself and injured myself in the process."

I don't know when AF is going to wake up and realize how utterly stupid and anti-member these policies are. What's the justification, that this location has limited facilities to begin with? There's nothing about being coerced into exercising that means I occupy the bathroom for less time. It probably only prolongs it because I'll be in the facility longer.

Beyond this absolute nonsense, there are Karen-esque signs absolutely everywhere. Totally overbearing and ridiculous location.

Glad to see that it already has a ton of 1 star reviews.

I really wish corporate would step in and do something about locations like this. This isn't what I had in mind when I signed up.

Let's talk about bodily autonomy and consent. Every time a person goes to the gym and exercises, they are putting themselves in a position where they might hurt themselves. You don't know anything about your members. You don't know anything about their handicaps, their injury history, how they're feeling at a particular time, nothing. People have bodily autonomy and should be free to subject their bodies to exercise when they see fit, not coerced into it by some shortsighted management that obviously is divorced from the very industry they're in.

It's honestly disgusting that you think it's even remotely OK to impose yourself on other people's bodies in this way. Shame.

I don't like leaving bad reviews but this one is warranted. I signed up for a membership with my girlfriend at the time with the manager Corey. He showed me different pricing options based on the duration of the membership and I told him I would like to sign up for a 6 month membership since I was moving in September and the price was good. Halfway through the membership my girlfriend and I split up and I informed him that she would not be coming to the gym anymore. He told me I would have to let him know if I was renewing or not since I would not be let into the gym if I came outside of staffed hours. Jump to today and I have been getting charged not only for my membership, by exes as well. Corey has since informed me through text message that it was in the fine print that it would be on auto renewal when we signed up. I'm happy to post the screen shot of my asking if it was in the fine print and him saying "yep" in response. It makes sense that he talks extremely fast and shows you 100 things about the gym all at once during the contract process so that you're overwhelmed and don't look closely at the auto renewal section while he tells you something different. I was a membership at this gym a few years ago with a different manager who never pulled anything like this. I loved this gym and was very faithful to Anytime Fitness, but I will never step foot in one again. I'm so sick of managers and shady business practices so I had to leave this review.

Dude kicked me out after coming to workout. He'd apparently had been watching me workout there prior in cameras (in proper attire). So after working the night shift I arrived here. Showering, and then I went to workout and was escorted out, initially becuase I showered before my workout. I forgot my gym shoes and had jeans on. My sweatpants had a hole that I didn't know about when I came in initially, so wasn't gonna wear that. So got kicked out for showering, wearing jeans, and no gym shoes. The approach to the whole thing by the manager was what was wrong. I get the policy's, but to be treated with demeanor from manager was what led me to leave a review. Power trip was the phrase I would use, and felt uneasy that he brought up that he'd watched me in the gym. Whole thing made me feel disrespected. Other AF gyms have better staff. Avoid the condescending attitude here.

Not Veteran friendly. Dupont's AF gym is way better.

This is hands down THE best AF in the area. The equipment and the club are so well maintained and they have two Peloton bikes and an Octane machine. I haven’t been able to find these premium machines in any other AF clubs. It’s obvious the owner invests in his club and his members. Other reviewers give low ratings because the owner has rules and standards for maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and working order of the equipment. Are you kidding? I actually appreciate that the owner wants his members to have access to quality, well maintained equipment, and that he wants his members to have a positive experience when working out (such as not having to listen to people yacking on their phones). I’ve been there several times now and I’ve never known the owner to be anything but friendly. If this club wasn’t so far away I’d make this my home club in an instant.

I was a member here for nearly 2 years. It served a basic purpose of getting to a level of fitness where I could move on to a more advanced gym. The gym is super clean! But it does have more rules than I could keep up with. I had the unfortunate privilege of being a witness to some of the negative comments written in the reviews, and their complaints are valid. If I had to share any passing thoughts to anyone considering membership at this particular Anytime Fitness, it would be this. Carefully and Thoroughly Weigh All Your Options! My final days of membership came to an amusing close when a squirrel 🐿️ was literally living in the gym’s overhead ceiling. It was all over the place moving from one piece of equipment to the next. I’m not sure if the squirrel was removed. But I found the situation ironic considering the gym’s aggressive sanitizing policy 😃🤔.

The “owner” of this location was extremely rude and belittling. I’m honestly baffled by my experience with trying to sign up for a membership. Do not come here unless you want to be talked down to. I honestly never leave reviews but he was beyond anything I’ve delt with.

Absolutely appalled at how I was treated here. Traveling full time, I rely on Anytime Fitness for working out and showering. Sometimes there's only time for showering. Upon walking in here, I was accosted by the owner who informed me that he does not allow "walk ins", and immediately started saying that he's "well within his right to deny walk ins". He was WAY too quick to defend his actions, clearly he's just been waiting by the door to exercise what little power he has. It was kind of sad.

I've been an Anytime member for a while now, been to hundreds of locations and met some great owners of them, but the person who runs this one is not one of them.

Too many rules. Can't have a conversation on your phone in the gym. Have to be careful not to make noise with the weights. Have to wipe down the equipment before and after use. The owner said that only "work out" clothes could be worn in the gym The cleaner they mix drys out my hands so much I have to use gloves. It depends on the location you visit because not all locations are like this. Not renewing my membership here when it comes up.

The shower area still has signs up says shut down due to the pandemic. There's one community shower for the men and one toilet stall. Weights are average but not terrible, what you need to get a workout in. Decent gym if you're visiting but would not join as a home gym.

I have never left a review before but…. I have been to many franchises in the past and this one is by far the worst. The owner was very rude and aggressive from the moment I stepped into the gym. His customer service was some of the worst I’ve ever experienced.

I needed a gym in Lakewood with 24-hour access, and I needed to ensure the day before that I had a plan for the next morning. I wish I’d read the reviews before going. Owner was rude, telling me I couldn’t test rack heights because I was wearing jeans. Came off as a control freak. Doesn’t surprise me that other reviewers say he stalks them over the gym’s video cameras. Stay away from this place. And Anytime Fitness might consider higher standards and background checks for franchise owners.

The manager Corey is very aggressive and showing stalking behavior watching me on the cameras making sure I wipe my equipment down after use. The weights and equipment are worn down or rusted. The weight limit was only 90 pounds and I had to make sure to wear tennis shoes before entering the gym or be threatened with a ban. I would not recommend anyone to come here unless you want to be harassed for just breathing

I'm a member at a different location and decided to try this location. I had a guest pass and decided to bring my girlfriend. As we walked up to the door we saw so many cheaply printed signs that we didn't even bother to read them. Once we walked in we noticed there was no music playing which made it awkwardly quiet. The owner asked me "Where is your key!?" as soon as we stepped foot in the front door. He then asked my girlfriend where her key is and she showed her guest pass. He seemed irritated and told me that is violation of the rules and I can be fined $250. If you have the option, I would recommend a different gym! The owner is blatantly rude!

I'm a member in different location and decided to go this gym for my break because closer to work. Cheap signs all over the gym. Weights are outdated. Gym too small. I forgot to wipe some equipments and the owner Corey called me and ask why I did not wipe equipments down. Keep in mind I went there @1am and no one was there. Felt creepy someone at home watching me workout. Many of my friends who lives close to his gym started going to deffirent location because of the owner and now I know why.

This gym has decent quality workout equipment, although none of it felt calibrated to the weight it said I was lifting. Customer service was the absolute worst I’ve experienced. I like to go at night to avoid people, then the owner later calls me to voice his complains. After intrusively calling me to complain, the owner refused to put up signs regarding the showers or dress codes (his complains).. HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying out other gym locations.

I like this place. I think it has all the equipment necessary to make all kinds of gains. The only thing that I don’t like personally is the place feels like I’m at a library! they’re on your case if you breath to heavy when working out or you go to set your dumbbells on the ground and if it makes a thud sound you’ll be called out! Like bro I’ve hit muscle failure it’s kind of hard to put my weights down without making noise!

If you like working out at a library this place is PERFECT for you!!! Owner has signs up all over the gym with various rules. Signs are cheap and tacky paper print outs and they are taped all over the glass windows! My favorite is "no talking on the phone in the gym, go outside." You won't walk in and hear music or see any inspirational signs if you come here. Equipment is often broken and owner is also slow to fix things. Avoid this place at all cost!

Didnt feel welcomed here. Dont go if your from out of town. The owners pretty aggressive and looked at my account where i was from. The gym itself isn't bad but the owner is definitely super strict. Watched me do my workouts and told me to wipe down before and after all my workouts. Couldn't relax in here after the workday and that's what majority of people do at the gym. He really needs to learn to calm down. He gave me breakdown of the rules while informative, he was very nitpicking. He told me he charges 250$ per guest violation and that guests were not allowed. Bad practice for welcoming people to the gym in my opinion. Rules include be quiet, no grunting, no phones, gym wear only/no uniforms and no fun.

Went to this AF for the first time with no mask on since the last three locations didn’t require it. There were others at the gym with their masks off but would put it on only when they would leave their station. I received a call next morning about “breaking the rules” as if the mask mandate weren’t going to end in literally a couple of days. He was aggressive and rude the whole time on the phone before I decided to yell back to which he was surprised about it and told me he was “trying to keep it professional” after he called me “bro” several times. I’m not your bro, you’re an awful owner and customer service representative. DuPont location is a lot better environment.

If I could give O stars I would. Been a member of Anytime fitness for over 2 years now and have never
had a problem until today. I got a call from the Owner who immediately had the worst attitude about another member walking in behind me without scanning their card, then proceeded to
interrogate me like I know the guy. After realizing I didn't know the guy he decided that turning on the TV was a crime. Terrible owner, terrible gym atmosphere, and I hope no one waste their time
and money at this place.

Been using this place for years. Initially however I couldn't get the gym manager to pick up his phone. Tried dozens of times, left multiple messages. Nothing. I had to sign up in the Tumwater location (who reported hearing numerous bad stories about this gym), then wait 30 days to go to the Lakewood gym. I quit because COVID kept me home, and then when I signed back up a couple years later had to go through the process again as the manager still wouldn't pick up.

The facility itself is fine, clean, very not crowded but the management is non-existent, *unless* you break a rule (and there are many). Then suddenly they are ON IT. I was on my phone for an emergency once and the guy locks onto me like a cruise missile, demanding I go outside with my call. Yes sorry my kid puking at school takes precedence over the literally one person on the other side of the gym there at the time who can't even hear me. I eventually got tired of the nitpicking and petty rules and cancelled my membership, which is too bad because it's down the road from my work.

I called multiple times and they haven't responded to any of them. I emailed them they haven't responded. You have to harass them to join. I won't come here. Go spent your money somewhere else. It ain't worth it 136 just to sign up.

I’m a member of Anytime Fitness. I go to multiple gyms. I was in need of using the restroom. And was refused because he tells me of the COVID. The fact that no one was using the restroom didn’t matter. The fact that only a few people where in the gym. Didn’t matter! Why did it make any difference if I belong to that particular gym? I would never use that one again ever. If anyone has the owner name and number please give it to me.

This is a great location if you just need the bare minimum. It is quite small so be prepared to feel awkward when you pull out a mat for any sort of body weight training/stretching. There is one in the southeast corner but it's often full. So you have to put a mat in the middle of the free weight section, which I'm sure the free weight individuals don't love so much. But, on the bright side, it really isn't super busy so there is easy access to the cardio equipment. They have a peloton bike which is nice as well as one more standard spinner. Only one shower unfortunately, but like I said its barely ever too busy. Nice location next to Fort Steilacoom if you want to run outside instead of on a treadmill. Clean facility and the cleaning supplies don't smell toxic at all (I actually kind of like the smell, they smell like essential oils!)

-Small gym with outdated equipment.
-Limited choices of equipment
-Trainers are incompetent, witnessed on many occasions "trainers" watching as their clients perform dangerous exercises, allowing them to do it with terribly form, and make 0 corrections.
-limited amounts of free weights
This is a gym for people just wishing to tell others that they have a gym membership or old people, essentially a large home gym.

Smaller location with no tanning. Manager got serious attitude when we found a different Anytime Fitness that fit us better with more amenities and politely looked to cancel our membership there. Said we would "never be allowed back in her gym if we switched," which is a standard benefit that comes with choosing Anytime Fitness. Signs that show a $250 fine will be charged for the slightest broken rule placed everywhere. Much higher yearly "Equipment upgrade fee" than any other location I've seen (more than $75) and do not give out the WiFi password, which is also unlike any other AF I've ever been to. Much cleaner, more community oriented and better equipped location in Dupont. They didn't steal us, they earned us.
