Anytime Fitness is a chain of small, franchised gyms open 24 hours a day, with thousands of clubs worldwide. Members get in with a key fob at any hour, often when no staff are on site.
Because nearly every club is owned by a local franchisee, the price, fees and contract at your Anytime Fitness can differ from the one in the next town. The questions below are the ones to settle before signing.
What 24/7 access really means
Anytime Fitness clubs are staffed for part of the day and open to members around the clock. Outside staffed hours, you enter with your fob and the club relies on cameras and emergency buttons for safety.
If you plan to train at night or early morning, visit at that time before joining. Check the lighting, the parking and how busy the floor is.
Staffed hours matter if you want help, an induction or a chat about a programme. Ask the Anytime Fitness club when staff are there.
Using other Anytime Fitness clubs
A major benefit of Anytime Fitness membership is access to other clubs in the network, including when travelling. Your fob is registered at your home club and works elsewhere once access is activated.
Many Anytime Fitness clubs apply a waiting period before new members can use other locations, commonly around a month. Some countries or clubs have restrictions. Ask your home club how its reciprocal access works.
If you visit another club very often, it may ask you to transfer your membership there. That is normal, not a penalty.
Fees beyond the monthly price
An Anytime Fitness membership usually has more than one charge.
Joining or enrolment fee — paid when you sign up. The amount varies by club and is the fee most often reduced or waived in promotions.
Key fob fee — some clubs charge for the access fob, and for a replacement if you lose it.
Annual or maintenance fee — some Anytime Fitness clubs charge one, others do not.
Ask for every fee in writing, with the date each is taken. Compare the total first-year cost, not the monthly figure.
Monthly rates at the same Anytime Fitness club can also differ by term and by promotion. Ask whether a longer term or paying upfront lowers the rate, and whether it can be locked in.
Contracts and cancelling
Anytime Fitness clubs offer different terms: month-to-month, a fixed term such as 12 months, or a pre-paid block. Fixed terms usually cost less per month but are harder to leave.
Before signing, ask how to cancel, how much notice is required, and whether there is a cancellation fee. Some Anytime Fitness clubs require notice in writing, and some require a set number of days before the next billing date.
Many clubs offer a membership freeze for travel or injury, sometimes with a small monthly charge. Ask about it before you need it.
Keep written confirmation of any cancellation and check your bank statement afterwards.
Personal training and the app
Most Anytime Fitness clubs offer personal coaching, sold separately from the membership. Prices and packages are set by each club.
A few sessions at the start can be worth it to learn the equipment and set a programme. After that, the Anytime Fitness app offers workouts and progress tracking you can use on your own.
Do not sign up for a long coaching package on the first visit. Try one or two sessions with the coach first.
Trying the club first
Anytime Fitness clubs commonly offer a free trial pass, often a few days to a week. Use it at the times you actually plan to train.
Check the equipment you rely on: squat racks, free weights, cardio machines, the stretching area. Small clubs vary a lot in layout and kit.
Ask whether there are group classes, as some Anytime Fitness clubs run them and others do not.
Where the Anytime Fitness savings are
Three Anytime Fitness joining offers, each suited to a different decision:
Because Anytime Fitness clubs are franchised, each club decides whether to honour a code. Mention it when you join and ask the club to confirm what it covers.
Money off the joining fee is often worth more than a free month, depending on your club's fees. Add up the first-year cost under each offer and pick the lower total.
Use the free trial before committing to either. It costs nothing and tells you whether the club suits you.
Offers are usually for new members only. Returning members should ask the club directly about rejoining terms.
