| - I can't believe it took me so long to write this review. I was one of the original members of this gym when it first opened shortly after I moved to Cleveland in 2011.
Sohail, the owner, and Shaun, who mainly runs the gym as well as the fitness classes, are the best! To the people who have complaints about the contracts, or the lack of help from corporate: have you tried speaking with Sohail and/or Shaun personally about these issues? I haven't had a problem discussing the limits of the contracts or the possibility of pausing my payments if I'm traveling or suffer an injury where I'm unable to work out, OR what would happen if I moved elsewhere and didn't want to be stuck with a long contact. I have raised all of these questions with them. My fiance has successfully paused his contract. The answer is simply having a respectful conversation with Sohail and/or Shaun. End rant! I had to respond to these negative reviews; at least in my experience, the ownership and management of this Anytime Fitness gym has been exceptional. If you have a problem with payments or your contact, talk to these guys directly rather than going through the reps that handle finance or general corporate.
Moving on--the gym is small but has everything I need. The cardio machines are well-maintained most have a personal television. There are treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, stair climbers, spin bikes, recumbent bikes, and more. The weight area is well stocked too, and another good thing about Anytime Fitness is that once a year the management takes a survey of members to find out what we'd like added. There is a small annual fee that gets pooled and used for new equipment. It's worth it!
Another good part about being a member of this gym, if you choose to take advantage, is the group fitness classes. They are run by Shaun. Normally there is just a small group of 7-8 regulars every week, but the January joiners made the classes double this month. Still, not overcrowded, and you always get personal attention. There is a boot camp class on Mondays and a core-focused class on Thursdays. They are both great, and FREE with your gym membership. It's like getting free training sessions!
Speaking of training, Shaun does personal training as well. There is at least one other trainer too. You do get one free training session when you join.
And of course, one of the biggest perks of Anytime Fitness is that it is open 24/7, even on holidays. I have been known to show up at odd hours. It's always open. As far as security, there are always police driving through the parking lot at night, and I have noticed that there are security buttons you can push in the gym. It feels like a safe place, but it's worth mentioning that these things are there!
I am moving out of Cleveland in a month, and one of the biggest things I will miss about being here is this gym! (I hope that Sohail and Shaun read this review sometime! I'll miss you!) It's small but probably has everything you need, is clean, and well run.
And, if you want to destroy all the work you just did, you can walk across the street to Melt right after your work out and eat a thousand calorie sandwich at Melt. Not that I've ever done that...
