Pretty good gym for its size. Wish the location was slightly bigger to accommodate a few more pieces of equipment. Right now it has two power cages which are very often in use. If they added a leg press and a glute machine it would be perfect!

I've been a member since November 2022 and work out almost every evening. Location is always clean. The space is large enough to have a variety of equipment available but still feels like a neighborhood gym. Background music is soft, not blaring. People are respectful in keeping the noise level down and wipe the equipment afterwards. Christian knows everyone by name and greets you when you walk in. I enjoy talking with the regulars who work out at the same time. Again, great neighborhood feeling to the place while still having excellent equipment available.

The worst customer service experience I have had in my entire life. Christian Carbanara is very rude and banned me from their gym unless I agreed to them raising my membership gym price and use them as my home gym. I have had my price for the last year until I automatically got transferred. I understand membership money should go to the location you use the most, but when a membership jumps from 40 to 60 dollars, I would prefer to use a different gym as my home gym. I don't know about everybody else, but when I signed up for AF, I thought you could go to any anytime. I reached out to another nearby gym and asked if I could transfer there instead. They told me yes and I could keep the price I have been paying since getting my membership. In the midst of this, I get an email from Christian saying if I enter the gym after the day of the email, I will be automatically charged. This happened right after he said I wouldn't be charged until he received my consent. Overall an aggressive interaction super suddenly and felt really weird.

I notified Christian and told him the other gym would be happy to be my home gym and I would make sure to go there more than Grand Ave so I don't get automatically transferred again. He seemed alright with it until the next day when Christian proceeded to call me, trying again to get me to agree to 50$ a month. When I told him I still preferred to use the gym who wouldn't raise my price as my home gym, he told me "I can't do that." After talking with another manager, I knew I could do that and he was just very upset about it. I was very nice and calm with his but the conversation still ended with him saying "You're no longer welcome to use this location. I asked him "Never? not even if I use my home gym more often" and he responded with "correct". Terrible service and feels like a giant scam. I wouldn't recommend this gym.

Very thankful to the other Anytime Manager who was able to help me out of this situation and assure me the actions of Christian were unprofessional and overall wrong..

PS. Christian, when you said you "all" tried to explain this, I don't know what you mean. You were the only one I spoke to who was belligerent and had this particular stance on this. The other two owners were baffled by this and helped me get transferred away from this gym. Lying on google map reviews on top of everything else is just an additional reason to my 1 star rating.. Very sad

Have come to really love this gym. It's a smaller facility, but the equipment is wisely selected - plenty of cardio equipment and all the weight equipment you need to do some solid training. I honestly think it's optimized for the space it has. Two power racks, dumbbells up to 100#, kettlebells, a trap bar, a few machines, and other essentials. As other reviews have mentioned, it's always clean here when I drop in for a workout and any maintenance issues are handled promptly.

Though the space is smaller than some other ATF gyms, the crowd here is generally welcoming and open to sharing space. Even when it's been full, folks let others work in and are generally friendly and focused on their workout. Christian, the manager, is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and keeps the gym in good order. It's located right off transit, there's plenty of free parking, and there are bike racks nearby, too (by US Bank and on Oxford). If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth checking out.

I've been working out here since the Snap Fitness on Snelling avenue closed as a result of the pandemic. I was a little apprehensive at first given the location; I thought it would always be crowded and parking would be impossible. I have been very pleasantly surprised that neither has been true. Does the gym get a little busy at peak times? Yes, of course - like any gym. But I *rarely* have experienced overcrowding where my workout was limited. An even bigger surprise (to me) - parking is almost never an issue. There is a parking lot on the side of the building with shared spaces for the businesses and I almost always find a spot. Granted, I workout in the morning before work, but I consider that a peak time.

What I was most impressed by, however, was how Christian was willing to work with me when I got laid off from my job so that I could continue to workout until I was able to find a new one. It isn't often that a business will show that kind of empathy - nurturing a relationship with a customer/member and not just a monthly transaction. I highly recommend this Anytime Fitness - Christian is great, the location is super convenient, it's clean and rarely over-crowded. You can't go wrong, in my opinion.

I just moved to St Paul and for me - finding a gym that I am comfortable in is very important. After reviewing my options and trying a few clubs I chose AF. I have worked out in several AF clubs before and like others this club meets my needs.The friendly neighborhood club environment feels right for me.

Liza the manager who enrolled was very nice . She did not pressure me , gave me a thorough tour and she patiently answered all of my questions while clearly reviewing the membership benefits and options.

The facility is very clean , well equipped and the members take care of their club. Another thing I like is the AF app that has sample workouts that I can use to design a workout program. (Very helpful:)

I am so happy to be a new member and I will be recruiting my friends to join.

Keep up the great work! - Christian C

Be careful ads and lying for contract. I used only less one month. And come back to Chicago, they tried to charge 18 months. Liza pretended to give me huge exception half. But with my strong complain, she changed her attitude as needing her manager. After arguing, without permit manager, she processed to charge half. I didn't receive her contract email when signed up, but she emailed in front of me the contract. Yes, on the contract, I need to pay 18 months. But I found if I move far a way.. or anyway, she could do better, but charged as rubber. Be careful this small fitness club.

This gym offers a good amount of equipment and the staff is friendly, however this smaller-sized Anytime is starting to suffer from overcrowding. If you want to hit the weights in a consistent and comfortable manner, FORGET ABOUT IT unless you go after 11pm. My other gripe is the air quality. I get it, its a gym, but the amount of sweat, chemicals and body odor lingering in the air is due in part to the location having only a single set of windows and no natural ventilation.

It would be great if the cancer-inducing tanning salon would move out so this business could double in size. Too small for west Saint Paul.

Good cardio set-up. Free weights and machines are really lacking. Wear and tear is showing. With only two bathrooms you can find yourself waiting to change, etc. Staff could engage more with the customers.

First of all, I think it's important to evaluate this gym on its own terms. In other words, an apples to oranges comparison between Anytime Fitness on Grand Avenue and say, Planet Fitness or a Gold's Gym or a Crossfit Box isn't a fair metric. For what it is - a very basic, compact, 24-hour-accessible neighborhood gym - it rocks. Liza, the general manager, and Jessica, the personal trainer, have gone out of their way to build a sense of community and culture among everybody who walks through the doors, and there's very much a "family" vibe going on. As somebody who's lifted at hardcore gyms filled with aspiring (or already minted) IFBB bikini pros, as well as retirement-home rec center facilities filled with fairly feeble octogenarians, this is a great middle-of-the-road gym that can accommodate everybody from those whose idea of "fitness" is steady-state cardio to those with more advanced understandings of training for functional movement. The facilities are very clean and well lit with natural light, there's towels in abundance, the aesthetic is neutral and understated (take a clue, Planet Fitness), and with the exception of an inclined leg press, they have pretty much everything almost anybody would need. Is this a gym for serious competitors or athletes? No, nor does it pretend to be. For 99% of other people, it's a nicely appointed, super positive, well-staffed, affordable fitness solution.

Poor customer service! I recently moved and am in need of cancelling my membership. If you email them with regarding signing up for a new membership they respond within minutes. If you email them about anything else you do not get a response. I was charged a fee for billing which was due to their website being down. I contacted them and was told they would refund the fee but never saw it and never received a response to my multiple requests. I should not need to take work off to drive there to cancel my membership, a simple contract (which has lapsed) can be canceled vie email. They intentionally ignore you if you have any request other than something resulting in a sale for them. I would not recommend this gym.

I started working with Amanda Cole over five years ago when she first got licensed to become a personal trainer, and it has never occurred to me to work with someone else. With her structure and good humor, I have been able to incorporate working out and living in a healthier way into my daily life. Through her workout challenges, I have lost 15 pounds and kept the weight off because, by the time the month has ended, my habits have changed! I might be a little stronger, but what’s more important for me is that I feel healthier and have a generally more positive attitude, which pretty much everyone in my life appreciates. Hooray!

A pretty good assortment of crossfit stuff and a stair master.

Avoid it at night. From the parking lot, you have to pass by a very dark, recessed doorway. Every time I go, I feel I am about to have my own episode on the Investigation Discovery channel. One you get in, past the smell of burning flesh and coconut from the tanning salon next door, all you can smell is a high school locker room. Sweating at a gym is a good thing. Leaving it behind is bad. I don't expect or want air fresheners everywhere, but A clean gym doesn't smell like that.

This place is DISGUSTING! The entire gym smells of a mixture of urine and sweat- I didn't even want to breathe. The bathroom reeked of urine immensely!!! I can dang near guarantee it hasn't been scrubbed in a long time and people are for sure urinating in the shower (I use to work in a gym, I know how it goes).
The treadmills were caked in dust that I'm surprised the motor even works. Don't bother trying to run above 7.5 (8min/mile) or the treadmill with start wobbling back and forth so bad!! That is if the numbers on the treadmill are even working for you to actually see Joe fast your running.
Next time I need a quick indoor run I will take the extra time to drive all the way to the Anytime on University Ave or the Anytime down near the river in St. Paul.

This Facility has improved very much in the last year or so since Margo took over. The place is cleaner. When I personally put in a request for a new Olympic Bar- it came within 2 weeks.

The equipment is older, but they are trying to keep it updated- we received new dumbbells, mirrors, and attachments within the last 2 months.

The SMITH RACK needs to be fixed immediately. It has something "loose" or "broken" in it, although it is still being used daily. Hmmmmm,.. well some of us know that this can be expensive or timely,... the Guest members should be informed as to when it will work properly. I go to the gym at midnight, there are 4 or 5 of us regulars at that hour,.... we are baffled that we cannot get some kind of Update? Info on when SMITH will be fixed? It is basically dangerous.

This machine is extremely important for people who do legs and especially CALVES , our work outs have "stopped" -- waiting on a new or properly working rack- Honestly it should not be used until it works correctly.

Please fix the SMITH machine. The left side of the bar that attaches to the base is broke in some capacity. I know my friend Troy put in written requests in "early January".
thanks

Ale is a great trainer and very welcoming. I believe he is the GM. This location is a little smaller then average. The treadmills in the first row work Just fine and top out at 15 or 16mph. The single treadmill in the back is crap though. 1 squat rack on the down side so its used for bench as well. For $20 a month this gym is worth it. I went here all last winter and if was very clean. When I was doing 2 a days I've noticed it being cleaned multiple times a day.

SMALL GYM really cant get a full workout in the morning
I asked the gm to fix this little problem and could not do it and others have complained about it even there trainers place feels cheep the music sucks and treadmills break down
Don't go work out in the morning because the trainer is there with 4-6 people and moves them around all over the place so you cant just do that
Place is not clean so watch for yourself breaking out and catching a rash
and the gm really doesn't care really sits on the computer and does work and trains a few people here and there better of going to another gym NOT WORTH IT
