I deleted my original post about the terrible music and how this is not a family friendly gym. How, the manager ( Crystal) doesn’t understand that music that isn’t “explicit” just means that there is no cursing, not that the music doesn’t still glorify drugs, promiscuity, and violence. I originally deleted the post because the owner called me and at least tried to reason about the music, how you can’t “please everyone” these days. That she understood my standpoint as she herself was Christian, yet still decided to yield to worldly evils.

Fast forward to two weeks ago. As the gym is a large part in my life, my daughter has requested that she train with me. Having my disagreements with management at this branch, I called the Anytime fitness it Evans to “pull” my account to their facility in order to add my daughter on. Long story short, the owner of this gym Tami Gardner told their owner to block my transfer and not service my account.

I could also go on about how there is a “click” within this gym, and if you are in it, you can do whatever you want. How rules only apply to certain people, the owner (Tami) takes the manager’s (Crystal) word on everything, never verifying issues that are brought to her attention. I could also go on about the hypocrisy of the other staff (Amber), how they take pictures of clients trying to get them in trouble while doing the exact same thing themselves only a few weeks later.

Anytime fitness has served me well, which is why it is getting 2 stars instead of 1. I have been in the military for 18 years worked some crazy hours, for which I will always be grateful.

However, toxic management, clickiness (between the staff and select clients), and a detachment/toxic owner to boot have brought my relationship to an end.

The YMCA is only a 6 minute drive further down the road (which is actually Christian and family friendly). Their prices are much more reasonable, staff much more professional, and gym much better managed (with better equipment). Not to mention they are not franchised, which means that 2 people don’t get to dictate your gym experience.

Tami, some leadership advice from an old NCO: Trust but verify. Don’t take my, crystal’s, or anyone else’s word; you have security cameras, look over them. Not just when things happen, but periodically to ensure that all clients and staff are meeting your expectations. I truly wish it didn’t come to this and you were more invested and involved in your gym.

One of the best things about this gym is that it’s not crowded, even during peak hours. There are usually around 15 to 20 people, so if you don’t like busy gyms, I definitely recommend this place. Also, the staff member Crystal is very friendly.

Cons:
The membership fee is more expensive than other gyms.
There are no classes offered at all.
There are no lockers, so you shouldn’t bring any valuables.
There’s only one restroom/shower, and they’re in the same room.
On weekends, there often aren’t any paper towels available.
And the carpet can be dirty sometimes.

If you value your sanity, don’t give this place the time of day. I initially scheduled a tour one day just for a trial. I noticed the place was super small and smelled like urine pretty bad. There was a distraught gentlemen outside banging on the windows. We were let in by the manager, the guy began telling her they cancelled his membership. They went into the office for roughly 20 mins; during my scheduled tour time. I was polite, patient. Sat for a bit but then decided to run to the restroom and give myself a tour. I was greeted by another angry staff member, who told me I needed to leave. I was confused because this was my scheduled tour time. I left. I came back two days later, stupidly, giving this place the benefit of the doubt. A member slammed the door in my face and proceeded to stand by the door watching me, waiting. He told me I can’t be there and was extremely rude. I reached out to the manager who told me that the members are literally advised to treat people this way, as it’s a “strict policy” that non members cannot be there without staff there and that they “get on” members for this. (Which why are your members expected to be your security system when you aren’t there?? That’s just weird, and wrong) regardless it does not justify the harassment and hostile environment that I endured just trying to get a membership. How in the world does a place function with this chaos? I will definitely not be calling this place my new gym home. Awful that even the manager thought it was okay.

EDIT: after leaving the review they did give me a call back and I was taken care of promptly and efficiently. She explained that they had been having phone issues. Other than that we loved it there!

I have tried to call them for the past 2 weeks during business hours because I can physically not make it in and no one ever answers. I have also called their “customer service” number and it just refers me to my home gym (which is this one). I completely understand being with a different member, but after multiple voicemails and two weeks of calling, I doubt that the person in the gym is with a member at all times. I’m not sure if the owner is aware of this, however, I hope she’s not and that she’s not letting this happen under her belt. But if she is then shame on her.

Absolutely phenomenal gym. Always clean. Never stinks. Equipment in great repair. Crystal is stellar and resolves any issue or question in seconds, pretty sure the other reviewer was making things up to be a prick. Never had any issue with management here. Only people who do don't deserve to be at any gym with the way they talk to people.

Can't recommend highly enough. Been a member for over a year and hit all my initial goals then expanded into it. Trainer here is stellar too, will help you hit your goals and do it with realism.

Actual progress. 24/7 availability. What more could you ask for?

We LOVE this gym!! It ‘s perfectly sized, great gym culture. It has everything you need from machines & dumbbells to a stretching area, TRX and showers.

The patrons here are focused on themselves which in turn lets my daughter and I focus on us. Feeling safe and supported is important - and we do!

We go at different times and have never had an issue with inappropriate behavior, even at night. Feel very safe there! Also, Crystal (manager) and Jon (trainer) are rock stars. 🙌 Approachable and friendly.

I’ve been going to the Grovetown anytime fitness for over a year now. It’s small but it has mostly everything I need. When I have put in suggestions/concerns the manager has been quick to address them. The gym is not serviced on weekends so things like towels and cleaning supplies can run out, I would suggest bringing your own towel, but other then that my experience has been great. I’m a simple person I don’t need much to get me by. Like any trying to be a good business I do believe they try to keep everything maintained to the best of their ability.It is a 24/7 gym!! Mostly everyone who comes to workout are friendly and are there to workout. ( no 👀 creepers so far)

Jan2025 update:

Since my previous posting, I’m am sad to say that if given the opportunity I would definitely encourage everyone who can, to go to a different anytime fitness in the area. I would if my location and time allowed.
CHANGES TO PREVIOUS REVIEW:
1. I DO NOT PUT SUGGESTIONS ANYMORE it’s pointless, it’s not my job to make sure the equipment is maintained aka management job to know when treadmills need servicing and cable machines.
2. I DO NOT BELIEVE management does their best to maintain the quality or supply of the gym needs
3.Management has gone so far as to harassing emails with her unhappiness if any equipment is adjusted or moved out of her placement.

I’ve enjoyed this location and the other gym goers are awesome, they are the best part about his gym. However, management has gotten sloppy, petty and boarder line harassing. The manager makes a point to locate members who shift or move gym equipment in anyway not to her liking.
She tries to micromanage the members who are just trying to workout and use the equipment we pay for monthly.

I absolutely love Anytime Fitness in Grovetown, GA! From the moment you walk in, you can tell that this gym is well-managed and cared for. Crystal, the manager, does an amazing job ensuring the facility is always clean, safe, and welcoming. It’s refreshing to have a gym that is so consistent in its quality and attention to detail.

The equipment is top-notch, and there’s a great variety to suit all fitness levels. Whether you’re into weightlifting, cardio, or functional training, they’ve got everything you need. Plus, the atmosphere is always positive and encouraging, which makes it such a great place to work out.

One of the standout features is their commitment to being open, even during holidays when other gyms are closed. It’s so convenient to know you can count on Anytime Fitness to be there whenever you need it, no matter the day.

If you’re looking for a clean, safe, and well-equipped gym with a friendly and dedicated manager like Crystal, I highly recommend Anytime Fitness in Grovetown. It’s a fantastic place to achieve your fitness goals!

If you are looking for a Clean, Friendly Fitness Club that feels like a second home then Anytime Fitness Grovetown is the place for you! With the abundance of equipment that this club has from Cardio, to Weight Training, TRX, My Zone, Personal Training sessions, etc I am never left with nothing to do. Music is always playing so if there’s a day I forget my headphones (Heaven forbid), I can always get into the groove of my workout with what they have playing. If I ever have questions the staff is always ready and willing to help. The members become like family, and it is an amazing environment to be in! We might be small in size but we have a lot to offer! I’ve been a member here for a little over a year and don’t plan on leaving any time soon.

It’s a fun little gym, that has had everything I needed to start off my journey working out and it’s normally not too crowded which is something I appreciate since I don’t like working out in large groups. It also allows me to not feel overwhelmed by the amount of options or workout things that I could do or worry about using a machine incorrectly since the machines for the most part show you what muscle group you’re targeting and how to properly do the exercise so if you decide to do it with free weights you’ve already narrowed down correctly on form. Very friendly staff and I would definitely recommend to other people!!

I started my weight loss journey here about a month ago and have loved it since the very first day when I tried the 7 day pass. (Only gym I could find with an active 7 day pass during the pandemic) Although it is on the smaller size for a global franchise compared to planet fitness or gold's gym, it has some sweet amenities that comes with being a smaller facility. I especially love the towels for members, and of course it's open 24/7. Anytime Fitness is 3 minutes from my house where every other gym is at least 15+ minutes further. Convenience was key for me: close to my house and open whenever I need it. The bathrooms are really nice, pricing is decent for what they offer. I did the $40 a month for a year which includes military discount, but there was an option to do 2 years for $35 a month including military discount. And they have the different packages which include tanning. Everything that you could ask for in a gym, Anytime Fitness meets those standards and even exceeds in my opinion. I would give 10 stars if I could! Love it

Where do I start?! This gym is where I chose to start my workout journey! It has been phenomenal ever since I started back in mid-July. From the equipment they offer down to the staff. All the machines are easily accessible and I love the one on one room. I also workout in NC and although both gyms are awesome, Grovetown location have a few more machine options I love that NC doesn’t offer. Overall, it has been the best decision I have made as far as gyms are concerned and very affordable!

I was apprehensive at first because I had heard about Anytime Fitness in other states that weren't as good for whatever reason, but the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Even if Corona times, people keep their distance and are doing the most that they can to be safe and healthy.

I'd especially recommend this gym for people who like the flexibility to work out whenever they want.

Good work y'all!

Thought I would try to save a fellow military family money. Stay away from the Grovetown Any Time Fitness. It has take over 3 months and multiple request in writing to cancel my membership. They have deducted 2 months of membership after I cancelled my membership in writing. They will not refund the money they wrongfully stole. I don't know about most of you but having just about $100 stolen from me doesn't sit well.
