I have been to many AF gyms across the country. The workout equipment is great here, they have a good selection and it's very nice. The bathrooms however were not good, the right door just opened without a swipe, and for that I'm only giving 2 stars. I'll update my review if there's an improvement.

My experience at Anytime Fitness has been nothing but lovely. A nice young man Devin helped me get all signed up and he made me feel right at home. The gym is clean, not too busy, and everyone’s been friendly. The club manager is always happy to show me how to do an exercise if I need a little help (which I usually do!). So glad I joined!

Always a great experience at this gym. It’s got enough space for everyone to do their own thing and its VERY CLEAN. The manager Devin there is awesome and very helpful. He actually cares about the fitness, I don’t know why he’s sitting behind a desk. HE SHOULD BE TRAINING PEOPLE with all that knowledge he has.

I very rarely publicly share my opinion on businesses but RUN RUN RUN away from this place. This is the most unethical and unprofessional experience I have not had the pleasure of dealing with. Don't fall for the traps they set up in the community like I did. I dropped my name into a box at this firehouse across the street for a chance to win a free months membership at this anytime fitness location and I regret doing that. I got a call that I was a "winner". If you get that call, just decline them. There are many better options in the area for fitness, with people that actually care about other people's well-being. This place is not it. It's a money trap. Save yourself the mental toll you will endure from dealing with this company.

Been trying to get ahold of someone on the phone for 3 weeks now to get some membership pricing. Absolutely no one answers. Definitely done trying. Going to see what other options there are in the area

DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM. Horrible experience. I wanted to check out the "7 day free trial" to see if I liked it. I set up an appointment, and Logan immediately answered and gave me a tour. He said I had to sign up for a membership to get the free trial and went on and on about memberships. I made it known I could not afford most of the options, and he reassured me there were cheaper ones. I agreed to sign up, and we started paperwork, where Logan skimmed through and showed me where to sign and made sure my key fob worked. That was my first mistake - taking his word as to what I was signing. The 2nd mistake was believing I could cancel at any time , as he claimed. About 4 or 5 days later, I start getting nonstop calls from Logan at the company constantly texting and calling, trying to get me to come in for extra things that I told him I did not want. Those calls and texts were ADAMANT. I was so irritated at being harassed by them that I did not want to go into the gym during staffed hours, and I unfortunately never got to even go in at all. Next, they tried to charge my account sooner than it was denied as I hadn't moved the money over. I had no way of knowing this until it was too late, and when I tried to call Logan to cancel my membership, he directed me to email personnel in billing. I did that and received a message back saying my account is in collections now. WHAT THE HELL?!?! This was all within a 2 month period. I am very upset about the whole entire experience and add on now that I'm also being billed $2000 for a gym that I never got to attend AT ALL, and for a membership that I was supposedly able to cancel at any time.

I have no dealings with this place, but I received a call. They asked "Is this Sam" which is not me. I said no. The called went on with "So this isn't 319..." then hung up. The tone was quite accusatory. I called back asking for whomever called me. He explained it was probably his coworker. I explained how the call went, and that it does not give a good image of the company to call a wrong number, put on a tone of voice as if I am lying, then hang up without so much as an apology. Just own up and apologize for calling the wrong number. It is not hard. The guy then goes on patronizingly with "I'm sorry it affected you like that..."
To the manager, please tell me you understand the value of anything customer/public facing going the right way, and not acting like this. The lesson here is, you now have one less person in the world that would want to be a customer. Yeah, just one person, but with attitudes like I just encountered it turns into another, and another etc etc.

Not what I thought I was signing up for at all. For someone upfront about living far, just returning to work and a gym after not walking for almost 2 years and needing a major surgery, this was not a good fit, at all, a decent person would be equally upfront knowing all that and how financially limited I am.

I could not justify their actual price that was misrepresented to me; half, I was verbally told half the actual amount, I could justify half-still super pricey for someone at my level- but worth it, to me, at that price. They say you pay a monthly fee, but it comes out biweekly- nope, it's a biweekly fee. The equipment should be flawless at those prices, but they're not. There's an annual fee as well. Just, wow.

Cannot trust the management(Kobe) at all like you initially feel. Really read that contract before signing because they are telling you something different than what's there and then not providing a copy. Finally got one after the fact. For all those saying, "duh", they talk over and rush through, reassuring the whole time... duped, don't listen to a word, read and tell them to shush. If they make a verbal promise, get it in writing, immediately.

I was told I could cancel immediately at any time because I already lived outside the 15 miles- nope, you must relocate and they slap you with another 2 payments after telling you in person you won't have any further payments. They let the 3rd party company tell you about the 30 days of payments.

Thankfully I still fit their criteria, I was starting to see their deceit and made extra arrangements. Be prompt with the 3rd party company, they don't give you a realistic idea in person! Have fun coordinating with in person and the financial party, no time for a discussion between the two and neither helps with the other, super inconvenient.

If you are alright paying the outrageous price, the trainers(Bobby and Vaughn) are great! That's an extra additional fee(Bobby is very upfront with costs); also great with follow-up and communication, minus the end, I'm guessing he couldn't get on board with lying to me.

Just be prepared to be ghosted and misinformed by the people in the front office. Kobe's attitude was to act like he didn't know who I was and like I was insignificant. His trainee to call you a liar(expected, honestly) and not follow up; I wonder if upper management even heard about my complaints.

Oh, they also let you get over 2 months behind, no notifications, so be aware you are basically on your own and they are not sympathetic at all about dealing with the 3rd party company, so that run-around will be fun when you inevitably hit a snag and get blindsided.

Handed my fob in the day I was told to and not looking back after zero follow up. Never recommending this business. 100% nope.

CONTRACT SCAM!!

If you sign up and try to cancel your membership, they will refuse to answer your phone calls and will never be present in the office. I had this gym refuse to help me with canceling my membership despite the fact that I signed my initial contract here. They are practicing fraud and I advise anyone to stay away from this gym.

I had a great experience at the Shiloh Anytime. Darren, the manager, was extremely helpful and welcoming -- and even offered to come in on his day off if that would work better scheduling-wise for me. He worked closely with me to figure out a plan that would work for my visit to Billings.

The facility is nice - super clean and with a good selection of equipment and machines, including all the equipment for deadlifts, presses, etc. I wasn't expecting what I think of as more 'niche' equipment like the ones used for glute-biased hyperextension, so I was excited to find that.

I've had an excellent experience here and highly recommend checking it out!

This was my first experience at the localAnytime fitness in Billings Montana. First impressions were outstanding! This starts with the amazing staff who are very friendly and really want to help you out. One of the Managers Darrin, exceptionally great guy. Also I can’t remember the others name which was a young women. She even came over since I was out of town and just started chatting it up while I was preparing for my workout.
Next this Anytime fitness was way nicer, new equipment and spaced out very well compared to my local gym I go to in WA. Also I noticed how clean this facility was. Honestly five stars doesn’t do it justice.
I really appreciate few days of working out.
Can’t say enough top notch gym and staff! Until next time I visit family in Billings.

This is gym is perfect for people with different work schedules! I work night so it’s super convenient that it’s 24/7. It’s also so clean and every time I’ve come in with friends or by myself during the day, Darren makes sure to greet and treat me like I’m family. It’s super comfortable for women. It’s super safe and friendly for sure. Would highly recommend to a friend!

The best gym I have ever been to hands down and I use to go to Chuze and planet fitness. Darren helped me quickly replace a keyfob that I misplaced and immediately contacted me back when he was available .This gym has all personal bathrooms and squeaky clean weight equipment they also are open 24 hours! Office hours are different I think its Tuesday-friday 11am-7pm if you aren't sure give them a call and they will tell you what days the office is open if you need any assistance from staff.

Everything about the condition of the gym is great. Huge variety of equipment that are kept clean at all times, and the place is safe for customers. They also have private bathrooms and showers, and it isn't super crowded as well.

HOWEVER, like many reviews mentioned, they have multiple red flags in their business practices. I came here due to an ad I clicked on Facebook but what they offered me during my inquiry was totally different from what I saw on the ad, almost made it felt like a scam. Their regular membership policies are also very questionable, very different from most gyms and again it's almost as if it's a legal scam (you should ask them about commitments and membership cancellations because they won't tell you, they want your money). Even their own employees acknowledge the fact that their ads are "just to get customers to the door" (aka click bait), which means that this has probably been happening for quite awhile. Hopefully sometime in the future this business model of theirs will get brought to light by news or lawsuits, and changed to a more ethical and consumer friendly one.

Worst gym I have ever gone to. The manager is very shady, lied to me about my contract. When i went to cancel my membership I was told I owed around $500 just to cancel it although I was told in the beginning it would be $99. The equipment is old & the hydro bed & tanning are iffy if they are going to work. Do not go here, they just want your money.

Moved away and I am currently being held HOSTAGE by Derrick and the anytime fitness in Iowa city. I moved away and tried to transfer my account that didn’t work so I have been trying to cancel for TWO MONTHS. My call have been ignored. Just remember if you enter into a contract here they won’t let you out even when you move. I’ve paid for a membership I cannot use for two months now. STAY AWAY especially if your a college student like myself!

Refusing to close out memberships when my fiancé and I left after graduating school. Two months of payment and the gym in our new town says they are still waiting for Derek and the anytime in Iowa City to send the papers. We are so fed up with the back and forth we will never be joining an Anytime fitness again. STAY AWAY, the gym isn’t great either. Always dirty and very small.

I like Anytime Fitness because it has a cheap membership cost, and it has a trainer program here, although I haven't tried it out myself. The reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the equipment isn't as nice as say the U of I Wellness Center, or have the same variety, but they're usable and get the job done.

If you're looking for a gym and you're on a budget or are a night owl, this is the place to go. You will get what you pay for ;)

My daughter moved to Minneapolis in January and tried to cancel her membership, but the owner did not respond until April, after billing for 6 months. According to anytime fitness, memberships have to be cancelled locally. Good luck with that!

Anytime Fitness has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made for myself. I’m old [66] and thought I’d spend the rest of my days as a hobbled up old man, unable to walk much or do the things I love to do; Anytime Fitness has changed all that for me in just a few short weeks. Eight months ago, I had to walk with a cane—sometimes two canes—just to get around. Playing golf was excruciating, walking across the room was excruciating and playing with my eleven grandchildren was next to impossible. I’d seen many doctors and physical therapists, but I could find little relief for my back and leg pain. My chiropractor helped some, but I could not stop the pain. I received an injection in my spine to help alleviate some of my symptoms, and the doctor suggested that I join a gym to help strengthen my back and leg muscles to help my back because the shot would only last from three days to three years. My wife and I searched the area for possible gym membership and decided we’d look at Anytime Fitness West in Iowa City. We’re both extremely happy that we did.
First, you are greeted by the Brandon’s, the manager of the gym and the personal trainer at the gym, who both happen to have the same first name. They are young men with outgoing personalities and a friendly attitude. They say hello every time you enter the gym, take an interest in how you are doing and offer to help in any way they can. They make sure that the entire facility is clean and the atmosphere is pleasant. The other members that we’ve been around in the gym are friendly and helpful. I’ve had people offer to show me how things work and many people have asked how I’m doing. It is a great atmosphere for exercising.

Because of my back and leg problems, I decided to utilize Brandon, the personal trainer. At first, I thought the price was a little expensive—living on a pension and social security can be a little underfunded at times. It turns out that Brandon Paulson is a freaking genius when it comes to training and helping someone develop and strengthen certain parts of their body. The cost is minimal when I see the results and worth every penny. I’m going to continue with his assistance because he really knows his stuff both through his college degree and practical experience. He started me on a program that, frankly, seemed a little strange to me. He has me walking like a chimpanzee, moving like a duck and stretching out parts of my body that I forgot I even had. Guess what. I don’t have to walk with a cane anymore. My pain is minimal and often gone all-to-gather. I cannot believe my good fortune at times to have found a person who could actually help with my pain.

I recommend Anytime Fitness West in Iowa City to anyone who wants to exercise [at any level] in a welcoming environment. The Brandon’s are terrific young men, who taken a real interest in you as an individual. Heck, Brandon, the trainer, even gave me his cell phone number so I can call him on the week-end should I have any problems or need his help—he’ll even come down to the gym if you ask. My wife and I really like this gym and the people who work there. Even though we’re older, we feel extremely welcomed. I’d suggest that if you’re looking for a good place to exercise, no matter your age, Anytime Fitness West in Iowa City would be the place for you. Not only is it terrific, you only have to remember one name to receive all the friendly service you desire—Brandon.
