The gym is nice but my goodness if you show up with another member and just check in under their tag while yours is in your pocket before or during staffed hours you either get a text asking if you're a member or they track you down in the gym to ask if you're a member. Like yes karen I paid you $176 to show up and exhaust myself here chill. Gets really annoying. So do the HOA anytime fitness Karen's a favor and single file one at a time check in with your fob so they don't have a meltdown.

AF Poncha Springs is an excellent facility with helpful staff, a welcoming atmosphere, and a motivating environment. It is by far the cleanest and well maintained gym I have ever seen. I throughly recommend the group training classes, with an ever changing variety of classes with knowledgeable and fun trainers…..Eric and Casey are the best!

AF Poncha Springs is a place for community and camaraderie….not to mention book club. There is a sense of belonging and connection. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I started my own health journey in January. I needed to do it for various reasons. At that time, I was looking for a place to walk when it was too cold outside. Instead, I found myself seeing a trainer. Eric Sloan has been instrumental in my journey. Encouragement, coaching me on nutrition, pushing me when I didn’t want to push myself. At the end of the day, I have done the work, however, Eric really likes helping people. I still have a ways to go but I’m down 20 pounds and actually enjoying the gym. Thanks Eric!

Poncha Springs Anytime Fitness (AF) is the best gym experience I have ever had. I am a senior in my late 60s with muscle loss that was beginning to affect my everyday activities. Seven months ago, I began working with an AF Personal Trainer (PT), Eric Sloan. This is my first experience with a PT, and with Eric’s vast knowledge of proper lifting techniques along with constant encouragement, I have greatly increased my muscle strength, and I am also losing weight. Thanks to my hard work and Eric’s direction, I can now do the activities I so enjoy; hours of fly fishing and hiking in the Colorado Rockies.

I have had a great experience with the 12 Personal Coaching Sessions package with Eric at AF. My workout routine had become stale and I needed to upgrade it for more recent needs and goals. I wanted to improve strength and overall fitness, and I needed a commitment to keep me accountable. Eric helped me achieve my goals through his skillful encouragement and sense of humor. He was kind and knew exactly what options might work best for my personal physical challenges. He also knew how to push me a bit without me becoming discouraged. It was a very positive experience and I met my goals!

It’s great to go to a gym which welcomes and respects everyone, all ages and all levels of fitness. Jeremy manages with active participation - not just sitting behind a desk looking at his phone as you see in some area facilities. And, it’s always spotless! 🤩 Well done! 👍🏼 👍🏼 10/10 recommend!

Fellow travelers and seasonal workers! I just wanted to warn others about the way in which the gym manager/owner conducts this business and the rights you have if you are an Anytime Fitness member. I live in Denver but come to Salida a few weeks a year and use the Anytime Fitness here when I’m around as well as travel half of the year all over the country. As others have commented, this location seems target and has harassed guests who do not pay dues at the local gym and you will be called via phone for every possible infraction that you didn’t even know existed. It’s creepy and has caused a great amount of anxiety for me.

I understand the reason behind this as people who live in the area full time and are using the Poncha Springs location the MAJORITY of the time should pay dues there. However, official franchise rules after calling Anytime Fitness Corporate, are you have 2 months of not visiting another location before requiring a transfer of membership and having to pay dues at your new frequent use gym and wanted to make sure folks know that. This location and owner would benefit from giving others the benefit of the doubt and not all travelers who are not all trying to be “dishonest” and pay cheaper dues elsewhere but they might be here for a couple weeks at a time very regularly or 2 months here for the summer. Or maybe the owners should just open a non-franchise gym where they can have more control because that’s what it feels like this is about.

I’ve only gone to this location a few times ( I travel half the year and have visited over 50 locations at this point, all with VERY positive experiences) and after two different visits received phone calls. One was totally my bad and involved a misunderstanding with a friend who had an active and fit direct account but just didn’t have their key fob. After receiving a phone call I offered to pay for their $20 day pass but ended up sorting it out at another location. It was shocking to receive repeated phone calls that involved threats to shut off my key fob because I “snuck someone in”.

Assuming the worst of every customer is not the way to go and very unprofessional. Reading these other reviews is mind blowing and I would constantly be afraid of breaking infractions and definitely will be walking on egg shells if I visit again. Every person that walks in is a future potential member of the gym if they are not already and is the case for me as well as I’m planning on moving here next year.

Overall I still am giving 3 stars because I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, the equipment is great, it’s never crazy crowded and it seems like the best option in town.

EDIT: After posting this very honest review of my experience that was fair (I could have given 1 star like others but I don’t think it deserves that as there are positives I mentioned as well!), I received a text from the owner asking to chat. Usually that would would be something I’m open to but I do not want to be made to feel guilty about my review and told to take it down, so I decided to think about it for a bit. After not responding in 3 hours I received another text asking to chat that ended with them mentioning they would respect my privacy and not reach out again, which is very professional! However, the next day I received yet another text asking to talk because they wanted the “scathing review” taken down. I will not be bullied into removing a very honest view of my experience!

He then went and had all his buddies go and leave 5 star reviews with fake accounts.

*** I initially still gave 3 stars after such a negative experience, harassment etc as I never believe any local business deserves 1 star but have since changed it to truly reflect my entire experience. As others have suggested, give the other local gyms/crossfit your support instead! They are great!

Told the guy I was moving to town and wanted to try out the facility. Got charged $25 just to find out they have a free one day pass the employee there didn’t offer me. No veteran discounts as well just fyi. And the guy there was very off putting to me… threatening to throw me if I grunted or dropped weights and I don’t know what prefaced him to say that to me other then my weight lifting shoes and wrist straps… did not feel very welcome after all that. Won’t be going back. Kim’s Gym at the other side of salida was much more welcoming. And they have a gym dog Opus!

Hands down the best AF we've visited, and we've been to dozens all over the states. Love the studio with the garage door (if a class has over capacity, they can open the door for the overflow). Their large screen with the class selection screen actually works (very few do, if they have them at all) And the gym is immaculate. Kudos to the staff.

We live full time in our travel trailer for the last 3 years and are retired. We primarily travel in the western US usually staying in a location for two weeks and have worked out at more than 20 different Anytime Fitness locations in our travels. Personally I have been working out for over 40 years……the last 7 at Anytime Fitness.

I have to say that it is not the largest one we have ever seen but it has everything that anyone can want. Most importantly, it is the cleanest and most well kept gym we have ever been to. The local residents should be proud of the friendly staff and the respectful manager of this location. All the equipment is kept in brand new shape and the manager has been seen constantly cleaning while simultaneously helping new members in joining up or learning to use the equipment.

Kudos to the entire team….Anytime Fitness should use this gym as a model for all their locations!

Anytime Fitness Poncha Springs is the most service-dog accommodating and friendly Anytime Fitness we have ever frequented!

One of the best things about Anytime Fitness is the convenience. The hours accommodate my busy schedule perfectly. The variety of equipment and the availability of classes have also made it easy for me to stay motivated and achieve my fitness goals.

2024 update.
Still never received a call and apology.
And I'm noticing he's still gaslighting reviewers about his practices with members from other home clubs. I was cited a speal about me using his club 4x in a month and that I would need to change... He's greedy and he's creepy and he cited to my home club that he times women using the shower.
He clocked me at 30 minutes, which I think is great for my disability and limitations. Thanks dude! Super creep.

*Not sure why this owner targeted my visit, and snapped into retaliation mode, based on his assumptions, instead of reaching out to me to conversate.

He instead called my home club and "locked me out" of the establishment.

He only corrected himself after the other club informed him of my legal service animal.
He has yet to reach out to me and apologize for his actions.
Illegal actions.

Just a word of caution as I know there are others with disabilities who choose to use this franchise.

** My service dog was wearing her leash designating she was working.
Legally they don't have to wear anything, and I also do not need to announce my visit, anywhere, to anyone.
If there was ANY question, you could have called me instead of doing what you did.

What they charged for a day pass is criminal! It wouldn't be so bad if they had a swimming pool for a sauna or a jacuzzi or something else to make it worth your while, but just to work out and take a shower? Outrageous

The negative Google reviews here are laughable! This is by far the best run gym we have ever been members of! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the consistencies across the few low-scoring reviews. They are typically 1.) people angry about policies or locked out because they refused to follow policies, 2.) scammers that sneak non-members in after staffed hours, 3.) scammers that sign up in other cheaper markets thereby robbing AF Poncha of dues, etc. And THEN have the audacity to write bad reviews once caught. What a disservice these people bring to our wonderful little community and gym!

Bottom line, AF Poncha Springs is the greatest thing to happen to our local community in decades! The owners and staff are incredible, they care so much about all their local members and their health! They work diligently to provide members with a truly PREMIUM experience....not letting policy violators ruin the experience for other members, and not letting scammers steal funds that go toward keeping the business top-notch! Thank you AF Poncha Springs owners and staff for everything you do for us, our gym and our health.

This location has the worst customer service from management I've ever experienced. They were short, cutthroat, and hid behind inflexible, empathy-lacking policies. I've never felt so targeted and harassed.

It's a pity because working out and taking care of yourself is challenging enough without dealing with this kind of treatment. It saddens me to see a business like this poorly represent the fitness industry. I recommend supporting other gyms in town instead.

My husband and I were in Salida on vacation and I inquired via their website email about a day pass. Jeremy's response was quick, informative and friendly. When we got there the following morning, he greeted us at the door, got us checked in and showed us the gym amenities. We were impressed at how clean the gym was. Jeremy was cleaning the entire hour we were there. The amount of equipment available, the quality of the equipment (like new and nothing was broken or out of order) and the friendliness and respectfulness of both the staff and other members made this a great experience. We highly recommend this gym.

Jeremy canceled my wife off of our 24 month contract without our knowledge or permission. We've been members since 2012, when we moved into the area we started using the Poncha Springs location. We actual know the owner from when he use to live in Conifer and workout at the location there. After utilizing the location for a month, Jeremy approached us stating that if we want to continue to use the facility we'd have to update our membership to their monthly rates. We're under contract for $29 per person/ monthly, Jeremy explained their rates are $60 per person/monthly. We explained to Jeremy that we would no longer be coming into their location as we live an hour away and were only using their location on Saturday's and Sunday's. Jeremy canceled my wife off of our joint membership without or knowledge or permission. The owner needs to have my wife's membership reinstated and our contracted amount of $29 per month. We won't be using the Poncha Springs location and we haven't been since October 2022. A complaint and review has also been filed with the BBB. We would like the owner to get this resolved, we don’t need to be contacted by Jeremy.
