Compared to other Anytime Fitness locations in the area: more selection of equipment and machines, but the machines and equipment are older and a little more worn. There is paper towel and spray to clean machines versus wet wipes. The views of downtown Pensacola are great!
Gym is clean, good amount of weights and cardio. Open 24/7... this gym is in a good location as well where it doesn’t get too busy either. Great location and would highly recommend to visit this location or start your membership here. The gym owner is awesome and very easy to talk to!
Pleasant private gym and not overcrowded.
One more squat rackench press combo and it would be perfect.
As always a good workout 💪
I go there 6 days a week. It is for serious people to work out. Theres not a lot of chit chat, we are there to get and stay healthy.
Decent gym. Has all of the equipment youd need/expect. I got in trouble for dropping weights (I let them down relatively lightly). The gym is on the 2nd floor and apparently it disrupts people on the ground level. Not sure placing a gym with Olympic weights on the 2nd floor is a great idea.
Great, local feel. Open space and plenty of options.
This place is always clean And has everything you need to work out and there 24 hours
The cleanest, well organized and overall best AT Ive been to around the states.
Nice and clean
Great place...
I just had a great experience with this location! Im in from Georgia and forgot my key. Chris so graciously assisted me with a temporary while Im here! Thanks again Chris! Blessings!!
I joined Anytime Downtown in May 2012. Chris went through the entire contract with me explained all the charges and gave me a tour of the gym. In no way did I feel pressured or confused about the contract. In fact when I signed up I had read some of the reviews below and I specifically ask Chris about the cancellation policy and made sure I understood it. Their policies are not out of line at all.The Facility:The facility is great and in a great location for all who live and/or work in the downtown area. The equipment is never broken and I have rarely had to wait on something during my workouts. Yes, it is true that you will not find a tone of flat bench presses and other power lifter areas. This gym does not cater to that clientele, which I love because I enjoy working out without listening to people yell and throw weights around. The bathroom is clean, has lockers and private showers.The StaffThe staff is what makes this gym the best in town. You always feel welcome and the Anytime team is like family. As a very active amateur triathlete I run into issues and/or have questions a lot and the trainers at the gym have tons of experience working with runners, triathletes and your average person.I 100% recommend the gym and if you are looking for a place to work out I suggest you go and visit don’t just read the Google reviews.
Im new to the area & Ive worked out at this facility quite a few times & absolutely LOVE it. Meredith is a GREAT trainer!! Just love her!The staff is great, the place is very clean, and they have everything you are looking for in equipment! I would recommend Anytime Fitness Pensacola for not only a great work out but for a successful area for a great start to a lifestyle change!
What a great gym! Clean, lots of updated equipment, music is appropriate and at a good volume, towels, big bathrooms and plenty of showers. This feels more like an upscale corporate-type gym than an anytime fitness center. Most others are lacking in lots of ways but this one goes above and beyond. I wish this was my home gym!
Well maintained equipment, helpful staff, and plenty of room. Great place to go.
Great gym! I work downtown and have enjoyed the convenience of working out at this location for years. The staff is always courteous and professional, happy to assist when needed. The layout of the gym provides a good flow for your workouts and accommodates a large variety of equipment which is maintained and updated as needed. Id strongly recommend this gym.
This is an awesome gym. I have been a member for 3 years and love what this place has done for me since I joined. Chris is a great owner and should be proud of this gym. It has a friendly and clean atmosphere, great equipment and great staff. Lorenzo is a phenomenal trainer and has whipped me into great shape for an old man. I highly question any negative review of Anytime Downtown because I go to this gym on average 3-5 days a week and have never seen Chris or any of his staff be anything but welcoming, friendly and professional to guests and members.
Chris was awesome.He really cared about my progress and was always encouraging me with my goals. Great location and nice gym
Great location and excellent staff! You definitely get what you pay for. Everything you need to get a great cardio and muscle building workout. Never have to fight the meat-heads off equipment or wait in line to use. Highly recommend!
The first employee to greet me was an attractive blond who was professional and courteous. Unfortunately, she directed me to a guy named Chris. I can assume he is the owner only because I saw a sign saying Chris Herr owner. She opened the door to his office and asked how he was doing. His response, not good (REALLY! who says that in front of a prospective client.) I really didnt even want to deal with Debbie Downer but the pretty blond left me high and dry. I told him that I signed up on the internet for a 7-day trial(which I never got a response to as promised) and he told me he wouldnt honor it since I wasnt local.(I was really so astonished) I could care less about a free trial but I was interested in at least getting a tour before I become a member. He pretty much disregarded me and begrudgingly answered my questions about tanning. (Figured I could do something since I drove all the way there from the beach.) Defeated, I limped out of his office feeling unlawfully violated and a little sore(which was unexpected since I never even got to workout.) Feeling vexed I spit my gum on the floor but then picked it up (only cause I didnt want the hot blond stepping in it?)
I liked the convenience of working out while on vacation. The open area is a bit small and I felt like I was in the way when I was working out.
This is a very spacious, clean facility.. Staff is great and the Manager is amazing...
A bit on the pricey side but the facilities are great and the owner is very helpful and friendly. There is a proper locker room with showers and they provide workout towels as well as full size towels for showering which is something I havent seen at the several other Anytime Fitness locations Ive visited.The workout area itself is fairly small but effective use of space. Two barbell racks (another thing missing from several other locations) as well as one Smith machine. Plenty of accessories for stretching, foam rolling and the like. And of course all the standard machines.
I have been a gym goer for more than thirty years and seen many gyms. Anytime is easily at the top of the list of my favorites. Great equipment, atmosphere and most of all, staff. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a gym.
Great gym. Clean. Cool air. A little on the small side, but it had most of the equipment I want to use.
SNOBBY PEOPLE AND RUDE
Working downtown, this gym was an answer to prayers. Anytime Fitness is affordable, convenient, and friendly. The trainers there are top notch, the facility is is always clean, and has everything you would need to get the best workout.
The gym is nice, but dont let that fool you. The staff is not as nice as the gym itself. Chris Herr will harass you for your membership. If you do have a Anytime Fitness membership elsewhere and want to utilize his gym, he will approach you during your workout and tell you he is going to transfer your membership over to his gym. He does NOT like outsiders using his gym even though they are Anytime Fitness Members. I would suggest using the Anytime Fitness on 9th Avenue. There staff is friendly, the facilities are nicer than Downtown facilities.
I went to this gym for a three weeks on a MONTH TO MONTH until I got a new job I’m a different country. I am a school teacher who work with underprivileged kids abroad — AKA I do not make a lot of money. I had tried contacting them for MONTHS to cancel my membership — but nobody ever picked up the phone or responded to my customer service inquiries. I got so fed up I messaged them multiple times on FB and finally got a response. They immediately canceled my membership (when they realized I had revoked my consent for them to charge my card and that it was super illegal for them to continue charging me). Now I am left with three months of fees for a membership I didn’t use and that I actively tried canceling for months while they continued to charge me — on top of a $90 deposit I paid!! When I messaged the SAME GUY on FB who canceled my membership about a refund, he “left me on read” and never responded. I will file a complaint with the better business bureau if I am not refunded.
Nice friendly owner. Excellent equipment. Almost never have to wait to use anything. Great gym.
These guys are jerks. I just called to ask them the month-to-month membership rate, and the guy tells me, We cant discuss that over the phone. You have to set up an appointment and come to the gym. Yeah, right. Dont waste your time with this gym. When they act like this on the phone they apparently have plenty to hide. The only problem for them is that they cant hide their HORRIBLE customer service!
Love this place, my PT IS AWESOME Chris is as well. And I am making leeps and bounds as far as my health is going and works outs thanks to Laurie!
About to sign!!
Less expensive and way less crowded than the YMCA.
Great atmosphere! The place is well kept! Very clean! Amazing staff!
Owner is rude and conceited,dont even waste your money.There are way too many other good gyms!!!
Love the towel service. Icing on the cake
Great gym with a lot of equipment packed into a great location.
Clean, small, great view of downtown while you work out.
Clean facilities and Less crowded than YMCA
Being on the second floor was cool, some of the bathroom ads belong in a nightclub
Gym is upstairs. A lot of equipment, but gym area is tight. Clean and staff seems friendlyProblem- The manager does not allow deadlifting because it makes too much noise downstairs. So, even if you deadlift light it is still not allowed. So, any movement that causes too much noise is presumably a no-go.I left and went to a different location.I suggest looking for another club/location.My suggestion to club is to get a deadlift platform or similar and/or move to a downstairs location.
Very laid back atmosphere, plenty of machines, friendly staff
I Met Chris Herr just after my Cancer radiation treatment. I was very weak and my Doctor had given me what He called a very poor Prognosis. Since I would have a very short remission period, if any. I wanted to have some quality of life with my love of 36 years. My neighbor a retired Nurse, said Never give Up ! I called six or eight health clubs, the only Positive response came from CHRIS HERR. Come Now, together we can do it. My first day, I could only walk two and a half minutes, at .5 miles per hour. In about a month Chris came to me and said I think We should set a Goal for you and your wife to walk in the Relay For Life ! CHRIS HERR is a active Participant in Relay For Life ! We are now coming up on one year since we, my wife and I Joined ANYTIME FITNESS DOWN TOWN. LAST NIGHT I WARKED 60 minutes,@ 2.7 miles per hour, @ a 14 % incline. I am in my 70s ! CHRIS is my trainer and now our friend, but then he is everyones friend, I AM A SURVIVOR because of a positive Professionals, CHRIS HERR and Staff. RFO
The gym is small. And yes Chis is rude to the gym members. Have a couple of examples. 1) I was useing a bench with dumbbells and I left for 15sec to get water and someone else jumped on and i said hey Im useing the bench and guess they didnt like me saying that and said something to Chris and so he came out to me in middle of a set and said that I should let use the bench and he is a good member at the gym and he been coming for 6years. He didnt want to hear my side of the story. There was another bench the could of used he was just to lazy to get it. So Chis made me feel like a 3rd rate person. 2) so after that deal the one and only time I dropped a weight on the floor he come running out to me saying I need to stop dropping the weights because I can damage them. Yet it is ok for the trainers clients drop the weights all the time or block off the machine so you get on them. Im glad Im at the end of my membership. Chris Herr is all about his ego.
Always clean and great staff
The gym was expensive for what they offer, I could have signed up for a different gym at the same price that offered fun classes, but unfortunately my mistake I signed up for this one! I ended up not going there at all after the first couple of months, it was boring the equipment got boring they offer no classes and staff was not friendly! Some of the staff just stare at you and it is awkward, do not even say hi...They lock you into a 1 year contract... there is almost no way to get out of ( I did not enter this gym for 8 months +plus ...nothing I could do because there are Anytimes Fitnesses all around Florida and you must live somewhere 30 miles away to cancel) All they care about is money... did not even try to get in contact with me, and then after a year it does NOT cancel by itself... you have to mail a Certified Letter to their financial office...so you have to pay another fee to cancel the membership! When I talked on the phone I ended up having to pay an extra 2 months because the lady at abc financial told me I could mail it out 30 days and I missed the day by 1 day even though she said it would be fine. I do not know how many times I had to speak to ABC Financial Services to fix mistakes they made on my bill...at Least 8 through out the year! They tried to get me to pay 100$ for ONE Month one time for having insufficient funds ( when I did not, they ended up having the wrong card #) the 1st of the month which was $40 + $20 for the insufficient funds plus that was the month they did the 1 month a year maintenance fee of around $20 something dollars...then added that then added Another 20$ Late fee = $100!!! I was on the phone for at least an hour getting it all sorted out. I called the actual gym several times and left messages...and to no surprise, never got a call back! The water fountain pressure is terrible, and the gym is so tiny it is claustrophobic! The only good thing I have to say is that I like the showers & it the gym was kept clean! The owner also seemed nice, which is why Im a bit sad to write this. I will only ever join month to month gyms... this was such a disaster for me! Im still waiting on the call back I left messages for with my questions!!! :/ I was so excited when I joined too so it is unfortunate.
Ive been going to this gym since September of last year. In that time Ive lost over 100 pounds (start weight 379, current weight 278) and run my first 5k! I dont think I would have come as far as I have in the last 8 months without the support of the wonderful team at Anytime Fitness - Downtown Pensacola.Sure there are gyms that cost less, and if all you want to do is run on a treadmill they mat be the right gym for you. But if you want a gym that is setup to help you with functional fitness or maybe you have muscle in-balances due to a sedentary lifestyle, or you could need help recovering from an injury then you really should give them a try.I honestly feel that the staff there are part of my extended family, everyone knows me by name, and they have all encouraged me on my weight loss journey. They have been supportive from the day I first set foot in the gym to, most recently, supporting me when I ran the Fiesta 5k.They offer a free trial membership that includes a free session with a trainer, so if you are still unsure stop by and see for yourself.
Gorgeous lay out, very clean, great equipment!
Greatest place for making fitness. Try the battle ropes!
Perfect location with a great staff
Not a place for me!!!
Workout yeah!!
Clean and friendly
