Anytime Fitness

Positive experience: Very clean and pretty up to date. Nice squat racks.

Fantastic experience: Location is great. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: Trash gym. The slime balls keep charging you even after canceling your membership. You better not allow them access to your bank account.

Fantastic experience: The team here did a great job with keeping the location clean. Bathroom is always clean and the equipments are well maintained. They have hip thrust machine which is cool.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym, and they have equipment for everything. It’s also the cleanest gym ever, so kudos to the management team!

Fantastic experience: Clean and functional equipment, what more can you ask for? Keep up the great work, Z and team!

Fantastic experience: Nice little gym, has everything I needed and staff were friendly.

Fantastic experience: This gym is always clean, has a large variety of equipment, and wonderful staff, who are always happy to help. In a great location with plenty of parking.

Fantastic experience: Great workout - first time trying gym. Clean - quiet- great help from Elizabeth getting info on rates etc.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, super clean, very nice crowd/atmosphere and great management! :)

Negative experience: Anytime Fitness posted on their website that they’re letting people use their gym for 7 days as a trial. I later got an email stating my local anytime fitness (this location) does not offer this. Then why is it on your website? Now I’m getting spammed with emails from them as I used my email to sign up for the 7 day free trial. Shady shady business. Yet to be resolved.

Fantastic experience: Dr. sadek is a good Dentist just clean my teeth I liked the staff very polite and welcoming

Positive experience: Small clean gym. Staff are friendly. No complaints.

Fantastic experience: I've been to a few anytimes now and this one is my fave. Laid out well, nice variety of equipment/accessories and the vibe of the gym is genuinely nice.

Positive experience: Okay gym. A little small and the much of the equipment is showing some wear. The music they play is generally terrible and often too loud. But it's clean and the staff is really nice.

Fantastic experience: Whoever is looking after this gym is doing an amazing job keeping it clean

Fantastic experience: Great gym that has everything you need! Zou is always working hard to keep it nice and clean.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Manager Zou keeps this place spotless

Fantastic experience: Also a member of the Zou stan club! S-tier management!

Fantastic experience: Honest & very helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staffs and good maintenance. The manager Zou is doing an amazing job and Brian is great!

Fantastic experience: Basic facilities. Great prices! Everything you need !

Fantastic experience: Very nice.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with all the essentials. But the real star is the manager Zou who works really hard to ensure everyone is having a great gym experience. Keeps the place very clean, enforces rules when necessary and is always very respectful.

Fantastic experience: Been going to this location for over a year now, its always clean and maintained properly, the manager Zou is great and always welcoming

Fantastic experience: Great place, excellent management, clean and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Always a great atmosphere and helpful staff. Zou is always there to spot and show me proper technique.

Fantastic experience: Zous is a great manager & makes sure the gym is always clean & always has answers to every question!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, always clean. The manager is always friendly & kind. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great staff! Great gym

Negative experience: Not satisfied with the quality of the place for the price of subscriptions.At the beginning of membership, I was told that I will be reached out by a PT for one free consultation as part of the subscription plan.No attempts were made in that regard.

Fantastic experience: Been working out here for the past 6 years. Andreas is absolutely one of the best trainers I’ve dealt with. Great atmosphere, great staff / trainers. Highly recommended

Negative experience: it’s too expensive. 9/10 but 3/10 prices

Positive experience: February 2022 Not sure why Anytime Fitness is not posting membership fees online ? If your wondering their cheapest membership with a contract (taxes ,fees ,etc..) 82.11 monthly. It is $32 biweekly or 26 payments plus a yearly $40 fee plus your 13% tax. $39 biweekly no contract… They have no onetime payment options ,no promotions and at this time no way to try before you buy. You could sign contract and cancel within 10 business days in writing if it’s not to your liking. I checked and other Anytime locations same thing. Staff are friendly ,club appearance was clean. Read the contract completely front and back. Hope this review helps in your decision to move forward or not.

Negative experience: I have been with Anytime fitness for a short while as I signed up during the last lockdown (I had a physician's note). I usually go to Merivale or Kanata location. Attempted to go to this location yesterday (as Merivale was closed), the staff member there was super short with me. Asked if I had a medical note, then when I showed it, proceeded to tell me that if I wanted to workout I had to sign a whole new contract for 2 months at 150$ and to contact my location to freeze my membership. This did not make any sense to me as previously during lockdowns I was able to go to both Kanata and 1867 Carling locations. She literally turned me away in my gym clothes, it was super embarrassing. She was also super short with other members as she was talking to me. Thankfully I called Kanata and 1867 Carling location who told me that I am still able to go to those locations with my membership as I am still under the Kanata club (the staff at 901 Carling told me my account was with Merivale which was false), the staff at those locations were super helpful. Would highly not recommend going to this location during this time as the woman there was super rude and had zero customer service. I'm not sure if she gets a bonus for sign ups but it really seemed that she did not want to be there or that she was willing to help me at all. Go to the Kanata location or the 1867 Carling location instead!

Fantastic experience: Well kept environment. Will be visiting more often

Fantastic experience: 24/7 access is great, staff are super kind.

Fantastic experience: Small cozy gym with a luxurious feel

Negative experience: There needs to be gyms for maskless people separate from neurotic people like Muran Yang and Kris Sandbox

Negative experience: 901 Carling is a nice gym, it's well run and the staff is pleasant, but right now with this third aggressive wave and stay at home order there are some serious Covid safety issues. 1) There are still people wearing masks under their nose or on their chin. There should be continuous strong enforcement for masks to be worn properly. 2) Masks should be worn at *all times*, even while on the cardio machines. 3) If you, as a private company, are going to accept people with mask exceptions (like it was the case when I was last there), then extra measures should be put in place to protect your other patrons. One of them could be having a specific gym time dedicated to the person with mask exemption. Gyms are only safe when people are actually wearing masks. We all heard about the Quebec City gym. I was extremely uncomfortable with this unmasked person at the gym and I ended up leaving. I am very disappointed that I do not feel safe to work out anymore at your location. I hope that maybe these concerns can be addressed. Thank you

Negative experience: Edit 1: I have the right location, 901 Carling This gym allows members to workout WITHOUT a mask! That is not safe at all for everyone. I was at your gym on Monday, after the stay home order, and I was shocked to see someone without their masks on. I was told by staff that this person has an exception. I do not think this person should be allowed in the gym with other patrons even with an exemption given the situation in Ottawa right now with a high number of cases, the variant and a third wave. It's very irresponsible to let her into the gym with other patrons at peak hour (5pm). She is also compromising the staff. Patrons should be warned that this is happening at this location. It's a very serious matter. I no longer feel safe at this location. I also expected more stringent rules to be in effect at the gym. The number of people in attendance was low but you still had patrons with masks under their noses, I didn't not see the staff clean anymore (they did a great job before the lockdown) The plexi glasses separating the treadmills are way too low and there should be some cardio machines being blocked off because they are too close together. Patrons should have their masks on "all the time" even while doing cardio. I was told at Movatie the mask must be on even when doing cardio. I do not feel your gym is covid safe and there are serious serious issues with letting someone walk around the gym without a mask.

Negative experience: Too expensive

Positive experience: Been a member for about 5 months now. Good place to workout and has a nice vibe into it. What the place need though is extra amenities but understandable considering the Pandemic and services are limited.

Fantastic experience: Its nice place to train

Fantastic experience: Great and friendly staff. Great place for a quick work out. Very clean.

Fantastic experience: Boutique style gym that has been very clean since reopening! I feel very safe and comfortable working out at Anytime Fitness in Little Italy since Covid-19 and would recommend this gym to everyone. Thanks for making my gym experience a safe place for me to workout!

Fantastic experience: Favourite gym. Uncommon that you have to wait for a machine. Incredibly friendly staff. Always clean and well maintained. Great price, couldn't ask for anything better. Fantastic environment for people just starting to work out. The atmosphere is centered around bettering yourself, and everyone is there for the same reason.

Positive experience: I have been to a dozen Anytime Fitness gyms, and I'd say this one is average. It is not very big, only has 2 changing rooms, the equipment seems pretty old, like the building itself. However, it should have most of what you need to do a decent workout. The gym is also clean, there is plenty of parking and it is obviously open 24/7. I would not make this my primary gym, but going every once in a while is perfect.

Fantastic experience: Always have positive experiences here. Very friendly staff, particularly Bry. Always clean, and open 24/7.

Fantastic experience: Been going here since they opened their doors! Very clean and great atmosphere. Shawn is the absolute best and always makes you feel like family. Bryanne is also THE best manager and has always been helpful and kind!

Fantastic experience: clean gym, great equipment, the staff are insanely friendly, Bryanne has you covered. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Not too busy, friendly atmosphere. Has everything I need

Fantastic experience: I attended a lifting workshop at this gym and it was an excellent experience. Great customer service, super clean and great equipment! Highly recommend to anyone. I'll miss this gym when I go home to California. Until next time...thank you!

Fantastic experience: The gym was pretty compact but had all the equipment necessary for a full body workout and a separate room for yoga. All in all it was clean,open and airy.

Fantastic experience: AWESOME gym!! Great vibe, super clean, and it has everything you need. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great little gym with all the machines you need for a fast pump, as well as a back room for squats and hip thrusts. and circuit training. You have to give this place a try!

Fantastic experience: This gym has everything I need: Friendly & helpful staff and nice equipment. It also offers a lot of daylight. Love its location.

Negative experience: 55$/mth for the least and most basic amount of machines. You're better off just buying a cheap bench & dumbbells because this gym is moronically stupid for its price. That entire franchise is nothing more than a money grab, if you're gonna charge +600$ a year, you might as well have a sauna, more than 2 showers & some damn air conditioning. You'll get over this gym very quickly, I promise you.

Fantastic experience: Anytime fitness is a great gym. I love it. There is Bryan at the Kanata location and on Carling there is ED. These to men will help you in any situation your stuck in.

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean gym. Everything you need to maintain, or get in the shape you wish to reach. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Shawn also runs the anytime fitness off Wellington which is also a beautiful gym.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Friendly staff and 4 squat racks. Equipment is always available and never gets too busy. Love this location.

Fantastic experience: Lots of machines and free weights. Clean change/shower rooms, friendly staff and like-minded, fitness-motivated clientele at a convenient location. Fun place to workout.. Dows Lake and Preston Street eateries a short walk away.

Fantastic experience: Great clean bright gym! It has all the equipment i need and more. Parking is always available.

Fantastic experience: Great location and clean facility with a nice cross-section of equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great location and helpful/attentive staff to answer questions or help out when you need it. Professional staff, new equipment, and great location all make for a great spot to work out.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, everything is super clean, and staff is always friendly and more than willing to chat about fitness.

Fantastic experience: Great location and amazing staff... I'm quite picky when it comes to equipment and cleanliness of a facility and I can say that this Anytime Fitness is top-notch. Thanks for always taking the time to help ask me questions and assist in my requests.

Fantastic experience: Started going to Anytime Fitness Little Italy when I first got into the gym in 2015 at 16 years old - was surrounded by endless support which is crucial for a teenage girl first starting at the gym (can be quite intimidating). This enabled be to develop a long-term passion for health and fitness for which I'm infinitely grateful for! Thank you Shawn et al.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great staff feels like another home !!

Positive experience: Small but decent equipment

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Great staff that are very knowledgable and friendly. Highly reccomended!

Positive experience: It's a good local gym a bit on the small side so when it's busy it feels packed. Still a good place to get a work out.

Positive experience: Great small little gym. Limited parking, but close to the the O-train for easy accessibility

Fantastic experience: Great little facility. Clean. Has all of the basics for a good workout.

Negative experience: The gym is clean, has good equipment, and the small amount of interactions I have had with staff have all been positive. The atmosphere is friendly. Although I don't use it, the 24 hour access could be a huge advantage to some. The main attraction of this gym for me is the proximity to my home and work. It was the main factor in me choosing Anytime Fitness. However, I also find the gym fairly cramped. Very few options for change rooms is an issue. A stretching area that gets taken over by classes is limiting. The gym does it's best to make use of the small space, but it's still a small space. The downsides aren't so bad in and of themselves, but the problem is the fact that the prices don't reflect the reality of this gym. The gym is marketed as a 'boutique' gym, going against the 'big box' gyms. However, the pricing is the same as the 'big box' gyms, so you basically get less for the same price. PLUS you have to commit long term to even get that price. Alternatively, the nearby YMCA is the same price, with no commitment, has massive change rooms, more treadmills, a bigger weight room and stretching area, more classes, a basketball court, a swimming pool, a hot tub, a sauna, and dozens of other perks at a LOWER cost than Anytime Fitness. The fact that I have to pay a NON REFUNDABLE charge on a fob that I don't need, and was gauged extra money for a yearly 'maintenance fee' means I would be very unlikely to recommend this gym. This review is for the 901 Carling Avenue location, and was not 'made by mistake'.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Clean, good equipment, well maintained and really like the flexibility of hours. My only small complaint is that is could be a little bigger in the free weight section to allow for more individual workout space on peak hours.

Fantastic experience: Convenient, good equipment, helpful staff and rarely too busy.

Fantastic experience: 24 hr gym. Nuff said.

Positive experience: Good facility and well equipped with free weights and machines (cardio and weights). Friendly and approachable staff

Fantastic experience: Nice showers. Four barbell racks.

Fantastic experience: Great location, staff were very friendly, easy to access all equipment

Negative experience: The shower/changerooms at this location are not clean. There are even small ants crawling on the bathroom floors! Disgusting!

Positive experience: Clean and not too crowded.. Only has 2 showers unfortunately :(

Fantastic experience: Really clean gym and has all the equipment you need. Great staff, very friendly and motivational, especially Joey. It's a great community to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: Really great vibe, lots of motivated people here (also motivational staff) and run professionally. Also rated the 2nd best Anytime in Canada!

Positive experience: Gear is well maintained, gym is clean and has big bright windows, staff is always friendly and helpful. Even most of the clients are pretty cool, which you don't always see. Had problems with leaving though. For several months after terminating membership I kept getting charged. Every time I would email, and every time there would be an apology, a different excuse, and a promise to refund and fix it. Eventually I just called the bank and told them to stop paying it, and they did.

Fantastic experience: Very nicely located. Beautiful area. Never hard to find a parking spot. Staff always friendly and helpful and always walking around helping. Very nice equipment and very clean facility. Love it here.

Fantastic experience: I love this facility. It's quaint and has everything you need for a comprehensive workout. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the owner Shawn always checks in to see how everyone is doing. It's very personable and non-intimidating like some of the big box gyms I've attended.

Fantastic experience: This is a very clean gym with friendly, knowledgable staff. Nice to see the owner on site on a regular basis.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym; has great equipment selection for any type of work out with great floor plan to ensure space no matter how busy. Great staff always willing to give great tips and conversation, while keeping the gym clean and organized. 100% would recommend to someone looking for a new gym!

Fantastic experience: Nice smaller sized gym but offers all the equipment you need. Convenient location and hours.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with an owner who really cares about the members.

Positive experience: Nice new, local alternative to the Y or other expensive gyms

Positive experience: I'm comparing this gym to my regular Anytime Fitness on Hunt Club. Not enough cleaning stations and they're asking people to reuse a cloth to clean the machines which is rather unsanitary itself. This doesn't make it easy for someone working out to clean up after themselves which means they won't. I'm assuming the staff clean it regularly because the place is still pretty clean. No coat rack that I could see so I had to stuff mine in a box. Not cool. Can't connect to their WiFi (expected to find it posted on a wall somewhere). Only one shower which is really bad. Good equipment, well stocked. A little to much focus on cable machines over free weights (which is better for you). Music is extremely annoying. Couldn't find a staff member to turn it down (at 7 am mind you).

Negative experience: No clocks in the gym. The place is severely underheated, probably to save cash. Every time I go back, there seems to be less and less TV channels on the cardio machines. Last time I checked, there was only one channel left. The lockers are way too small. There's only one squat rack and one Smiths machine. The owner has a two-way mirror installed to creep on the people coming into the gym. Makes for a weird vibe and dynamic between the gym goers and the "face" of the gym itself. Owner keeps hitting on pretty girls. Says he will put up clocks, never did. Only reason I go there is because its close and the other gym on Carling is overcrowded. Not impressed at all.

Fantastic experience: It's a small gym, but we'll equipped. Staff is friendly, and keeps the place clean.
