Anytime Fitness

Negative experience: Gym and space is nice but the showers are always cold and there is never a fan on in the shower room, which creates a very damp and musty experience. As a very sweaty dude who does the gym right after working a job involving HD grease it’s really important to me to have hot showers and change so I don’t make a mess.

Negative experience: Closed the gym for a week dec 10-17 with no email to customers to communicate this or any hold on accounts.

Fantastic experience: Amazing service! Super nice staff and gorgeous gym.

Positive experience: Four stars for number of washrooms

Negative experience: Been trying to reach the gym since a week. Staff never picks up the phone even during staffed hours, never got back to me. I visited the gym thrice. One time it was closed due to power outtage, other 2 times gym was open but staff didn’t pick up the call hence I couldn’t get inside the gym. I registered online for a free trial and never heard back from the staff. Pathetic service!

Positive experience: Have been a member for a few years. Pro: New gym has bigger space, better parking, more equipment. Con: Smells like rubber, my clothes smells like rubber afterwards.

Negative experience: Surprisingly rude staff, seems like they are not open to new members, bad experience.

Positive experience: Decent spacious gym. Not too crowded when I was there. However, the bathroom can be cleaner.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing, nice, big and open. Very clean, great friendly and helpful staff. Has all the equipment you need in a perfect atmosphere.

Negative experience: hoping they turn the heat down or increase air conditioning in there as it is extremely warm and humid even at 5 am

Fantastic experience: New location is amazing: the ambience, the spacing & the brand new equipment. The staff has always been more than helpful & the GM is present often & very approachable. I always look forward to my 1 hour workout & before I hesitated to post this review because I wanted this to be my secret place to workout

Fantastic experience: Brand spanking new, with that new car smell!!! The space is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Bigger, brighter and better! New machines mixed in with the old faves! Great staff, with a really positive vibe! You will love it!

Positive experience: Brand new gym. I was so upset with the older one but this new gym got all new equipments and space to work out: Pros : new machines, so many add ons compared to other anytimes, I don’t think I am missing any equipment that I know of. New lockers with passcodes instead of key Cons : there are only few washrooms, so when it get busy, u gotta wait until ur turn to use them.

Fantastic experience: It’s so clean and good!

Positive experience: Well equipped, recently moved to a new and larger location. Staff is polite and helpfu, the patrons are talkative and encouraging! I would like to clarify, however, that I find the business practices of Anytime to be entrapping. You must sign up for a full year and are subject to a large fine if you want to get out of the contract. The only way you can get out of the contract after that year is if you go in and cancel the renewal of your subscription around the last month of your contract, otherwise they continue to charge you. The gym is good, but I have problems with Anytime's subscription policies.

Fantastic experience: The new place is fizzed, just feels great to be a small part of it.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with great trainers.

Fantastic experience: New gym same great experience!

Negative experience: ONLY reason why I tolerate and HAVE to go to this gym is because convenience of distance - about 5 mins walk. There isn’t a gym within a 15 min DRIVE for me. You got to admit, outside of having your own gym or in your apt building 5 min walk is no doubt one of the best gym commutes - gas cost and time savings. My dislike for this gym has gotten me to the point where I’m calculating the cost of having a gym in my house or opening my own gym but unfortunately my home doesn’t have the space and I don’t have to finances to open my own gym. Paying a premium price for a gym that calls it “Anytime” where members haven’t been able to access it anytime for almost 2 weeks is a bit comical. I’ll give them that it had to be closed a few days to relocate but pushing almost 2 weeks, doesn’t seem to make sense. It also so happens that members aren’t refunded for the time gym is closed up to 2 weeks and it so happens that the gym will be closed for just under 2 weeks - hmmm :/ The gym recommends to visit their sister location which is about 20-30 mins drive, that’s almost an hour’s commute. Sorry but for almost the sole reason of me going to this is distance convenience, an hour DRIVE doesn’t make sense seeing the VERY high cost for gym already. Given it two stars because one for a staff that has always treated me first class like many times I’ve seen him do to other members and the second star for the gym implementing an effective cleaning regime for the bathrooms which wasn’t the case out to about a year ago. Kudos to the gym for implementing a well organized and effective bathroom cleaning system. Well below sub par of stars because, maybe it’s just my experiences, there were a number, MORE than ONCE which is a bit shocking because it’s 24/7 self use gym, I was treated poorly by staff. When I say poorly I mean I was negatively miss treated for false actions I committed by TWO separate staff members - not one but TWO! It’s simple membership / gym relationship - one pays through the nose, gym is open 24/7 for use as name suggests and advertised, now one isn’t like the other. P.S. Google Reviews doesn’t allow for any replies from the business below.

Negative experience: They dont ask for credit card. Only your bank and you sign a contract.

Fantastic experience: AF on Kingsway Cedar Cottage is wonderful with the best equipment, powerlifting standards, Rogue, which is good for lifting heavy weights and improving techniques.

Fantastic experience: Current location has enough equipment to facilitate an effective workout. Looking forward to the new location which appears larger with more equipment.

Positive experience: Below expectations; the service was slow and the staff didn’t seem to care much.

Fantastic experience: I provided them feedback that the straight bar attachment was squeaky and the fixed it right away. 5 stars!

Positive experience: The experience was good; the service was efficient and the staff was welcoming, but some areas could be improved.

Fantastic experience: Even when it’s peak hours and every locker is full, there is always a machine or bench open, the facilities are clean and the staff are kind. I work such irregular hours that I really needed a gym I could go to anytime, and this gym keeps up with the wear and tear of equipment.

Fantastic experience: Appropriate behavior of the staff and a very clean and friendly environment for exercising.

Fantastic experience: Amazing and knowledgeable staff Great setup between machines and free weights

Fantastic experience: I really like this gym. I questioned it at first because it's a bit small and very busy (not hard to understand why, east van doesn't have many standard gyms outside of downtown). But everyone is polite and lets everyone do their own thing, and I have never encountered anyone being disrespectful of others aside from the occasional equipment hoggers. I love how friendly and willing to help out everyone is. The five squat racks are wonderful and there is not a lot of nonsense equipment. I do wish there was a proper change room though, but it sounds like it may be coming? The gym could easily be twice the size and more popular for it.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff they make feel at home encouraging. Equipment is good, the culture is great, love this gym!

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for 10+ years. The gym staff always gives great member service. Jerome, Melina, Kenny, Michelle and Ray are awesome! Rhonda is a great personal trainer!

Fantastic experience: Nice new gym a lot more space and super kind staff

Negative experience: I don’t like this gym at all. Very small for me, and when it gets busy it’s not comfortable. And you should know that they will take penalties (200 $) if you would like to cancel your pass LOL

Positive experience: The only reason I go to this gym, and the only reason I am reviewing it is because of Niko, she works at the Burnaby location at Royal oak and she is phenomenal. I feel so safe and supported by her, she is currently helping me on my fitness journey and for that I am very appreciative. In terms of the gym it averages out to 60-80 bucks a month so it's for people who are more 'serious' about the gym. Good equipment and nice space. Access 24/7 which I don't think is that important but it's a part of the pricing structure. Again nothing special about the gym apart from the staff in my opinion.

Negative experience: What kind of a gym doesn’t offer a trial and charges $35 for a drop in? Was hoping to sign up to this location but can only imagine that this lack of user centricity extends to other areas of service. Disappointing; however, it is a well thought out strategy for deterring new members and encouraging use of other gyms.

Fantastic experience: I find that this gym is one of the places where you can be yourself completely, and you won't be judged for it. Sure, it gets busy, but 99% of the time, they will share the machine/ space with you! And this says a lot about the team/ management/ company ❤️

Fantastic experience: Great personal trainer I am gaining 12 lbs of muscle in 1 month. Ryan is the best . But the gym is very pricey to personal train twice a week.

Negative experience: Their PT program is a rip off! They are very convincing to sign you up but do not mention any of their PT contracts limits. They told me to sign up for a longer program to get a discounted rate. They said I can cancel at any time or reduce the frequency. But they did not tell me there's a cancellation fee and that they will continue to charge me for the original frequency, even though I took fewer sessions per week. When I found out and asked them to cancel the extra charge, they refused and then showed me all the fine prints in the contract. Also, I asked them to move my PT sessions to another branch of since I moved, but they refused. They have charged me couple of thousands dollar extra and did not return it or let me move it to another branch!

Fantastic experience: Great people and vibe. Everyone is focused on getting a good workout and you can really feel the energy from the staff. Machine variety is good but it can get quite busy. Just plan ahead.

Negative experience: ** The response from AT fitness says “make sure you use the right phone number” no…make sure you have the right phone number posted. ** Pretty sure they don’t want new clients. Emailed them a handful of times/called them repeatedly, the phone just rings and rings and rings…no one ever answers. And this has been for the last TWO years. Not even for myself. My socially anxious friend told me he wanted to go but wasn’t sure how to get up there because there only seems to be an unassuming door leading to an elevator with people using fob keys to access it. He said he’d tried contacting them to ask about it, but no answer. So I tried for him many times over 2 years to get the answer for him. Explained his situation in email multiple times. Not their problem, I guess. Glad he found a gym willing to talk to him. Certainly won’t be accessing Anytime for myself after this experience.

Fantastic experience: My main gym location! It’s a little hidden but the inside is spacious enough. During peak hours, it is very hard to find squat rack or a machine since there are not a lot of extra equipment

Fantastic experience: I am a member since probably 3 years ago and I do love it. Staff is nice, place is clean and organized and you will find all the equipment you need to get in shape

Negative experience: Terrible customer service, the manager was very rude to me when I left. I goto the Abbotsford gym full time and get treated way better there. Do not recommend.

Fantastic experience: Really nice place if your thinking to join the gym. Easy for access friendly satff clean washroom. Best equipments. 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym, kept really clean and the equipment is great! Good number of racks. Plus Rhonda is the best manager!

Fantastic experience: Great gym to go and workout. It’s in a convenient location which is close to where I live. The staff is super chill and great to be around!

Fantastic experience: Although AF has several gyms in BC, Kensington AF will always be the one that helped me start my fitness journey. Always loved the staff, the energy, the equipment, and the community. It definitely has its peak busy times, but it just goes to show how much people enjoy working out here despite it being so busy. Everyone is courteous and respectful to others while they workout!

Fantastic experience: Love this AF location! Friendly staff, clean location and they are on top of maintaining/updating their equipment. A bit small but I time my workouts during times that aren’t peak hours (when I can) so I’m not waiting or waiting long for equipment during my workouts.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Anytime Fitness Kensington for a couple years now, and I'm thrilled with my experience so far. The staff is incredibly friendly and are always going out of their way to answer my questions and help me reach my fitness goals. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, with a wide variety of equipment to choose from. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to ensure that I am using equipment properly and performing exercises safely. They are always available to answer questions and offer advice, and their positive attitude is contagious. Overall, I highly recommend Anytime Fitness Kensington to anyone looking for a supportive and inspiring fitness community.

Fantastic experience: It was clean and well ventilated

Negative experience: I'm writing this review after my contact ended: Facilities are fine but it's way too expensive. It's not worth it at all. They didn't reimburse the fob deposit as they don't take it back for health policy. Yes, they sell a 5 dollars fob for 50.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and staff. They are always friendly and ready to help with any question and concern that you have!! Special shout-out Michelle and Kenny. The gym is always clean, lots of station with disinfecting wipes to clean the machines. Also the personal trainers they really care about you and your goals! They listen to you and build a program according to your objectives! I really recommend this gym and is my to go place to get realty and relax a bit

Positive experience: Good environment and good quality machines/equipment. Friendly staff. It is a little small and doesn’t offer as much as some of the other anytime gyms that cost the same in membership fees. It’s in the neighborhood, and has parking. So it’s good for me!

Positive experience: Nice, clean, awesome staff...but need to open more gym in the area because this gym is way too crowded. Waiting time for squat rack, 20+ min everyday.

Positive experience: I’ve been coming here for just over a year now! While the staff here is great and friendly, the gym is often crowded and I’ve often been left waiting way longer than what’s felt necessary to do some workouts (today it was 20+ minutes for a bench when I was there at a time where it’s not as busy). While I do think this is more of a problem of not having enough gyms in the area, it still feels extremely frustrating to be paying $80 a month for a membership to consistently have to be waiting 15+ minutes each workout session for certain areas to not be as busy. With all this being said, my experience with my personal trainer, Rhonda was very valuable and would recommend her. Edit: I've since been going to classes F45 Fraserhood and found it to be a much better option for my personal needs (rather generic goals of remaining healthy while needing a sense of motivation to go without spending as much money on a personal trainer) and would recommend anybody reading this review to look into that location as an alternative! It's a shame there aren't more fitness centers in this area.

Negative experience: The staff MELINA and RAY ruin the gym and opportunity as a business!!! Very lazy and unmotivated staff. I had to email the gym as calling all day no one answers…. I got replies from Ray and Melina on email and they were extremely rude and not helpful, definitely wouldn’t recommend as management needs to review how their staff is making the company look so bad. Better to go staff less at this point such bad service.

Fantastic experience: This is the BEST gym I’ve ever been a part of. The staff, the equipment, and the overall vibe is immaculate. I only wish I could give 6 stars.

Fantastic experience: I don’t socialize with the community of staff and lifters here but I can tell they have a very good rapport with one another. A lot of gyms don’t allow “powerlifting” style activity (long waits between sets etc) however this is a place that understands and you don’t get penalized for it. Great spot. A lot of PR milestones hit here.

Fantastic experience: This is my main gym for everyday workout close to my home . Staff is very accommodating to any needs . Facility is very clean and tidy . I have been going for 2 years never think about changing gyms. Friendly staff and vibes is amazing when coming to gym and makes workout fun and more dedicating . Thanks

Fantastic experience: I was an AF member for years but left for a bit to another gym. I have learned the long way that AF is really one of the best gym out there when it comes to workout experience, space, staff (very friendly and helpful), hours of operation, and more! Definitely recommend this location especially for the amazing staffs :)

Fantastic experience: The new location is by far awesome. Definitely happy that they moved and the machines are much better. More space too! Staff have always been awesome though.

Positive experience: Overall really good but would be good to have some kind of time limit on equipment. Often when I go the two deadlift platforms are occupied by the same two people for well over an hour

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing consulting with Rhonda today. While I was registering at this gym I felt her passion about her job. I listened all information what I want to know. I’m exciting work-out here already. Thank you so much Rhonda!
