Anytime Fitness - Glendale, California

Jack DeVault

I’ve been a member of this gym since 2019, since before Covid. It was a nice place to go in Glendale that was always low key with chill people and staff. I recently started going to the gym at my office but today stopped by Anytime because I took the day off work and my key fob did not work. I was then told I was “not a member” by the staff and “I was a member with my insurance company” and they no longer take that and my key fob would not work, and I could go to Pasadena instead. I was confused as no one had told me anything and I am still paying monthly for my access to Anytime. I still receive emails from Anytime on their member list and I’ve been a member of the gym for six years. When I asked about they said “your insurance company should have let you know” ? I have an agreement with Anytime that I signed when I started going in 2019. I have paid (through my insurance) for this gym for almost six years including not canceling my membership during Covid even when the gym was closed. Today I was treated like I had never given them a dime and a total stranger. I was even featured on the instagram account when they purchased a new rower a few years ago (the account they deactivated but is still written on the wall at the gym). I asked to speak to a manager and no one was there, there was no phone number for me and was given a generic email address. It truly shocked me. I am almost certain this place has new owners vs when I signed up because it’s totally different. I have no idea what to do but I will reach out to Anytime corporate. The entire point of AF is to be able to go to any gym. And now I can’t go to my home gym? The interaction today with staff truly made me feel terrible.

Edit: The owner has responded stating they "stopped taking 3rd party memberships a few years ago" ... this is not true as even last year I was going to Anytime. I received no notice, no offers to stay, nothing. I received emails throughout 2024 regarding my membership in Glendale/closing for cleaning/etc. I've continued to pay Just a "you're not welcome here any more" ... I see in other reviews where they have told folks that they do not allow entry if you are coming from another gym. The entire point of Anytime Fitness is being able to use gyms across the country. I will be reaching out to corporate.

Anytime is a comfortable size in a convenient and safe location. My fellow workout partners are courteous and seriously into reaching their fitness goals. The owners keep the gym in clean and excellent shape.

I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback on my experience at the gym. As a member for some time now, I’ve had the opportunity to witness firsthand the incredible dedication and effort put forth by your staff, particularly Justin, Andrew, Erin, and Joey.

Their unwavering commitment to fostering a sense of community and creating a welcoming environment has truly made a significant impact on my decision to continue coming back to the gym. Despite the limited space, their enthusiasm, encouragement, and genuine care for the members shine through, making each visit enjoyable and motivating.

It’s important to highlight that while the physical space may be small, the presence and influence of the staff are what truly make the gym feel like home. Their positive attitude, willingness to go above and beyond, and genuine interest in the well-being of the members are commendable qualities that deserve recognition.

I firmly believe that the dedication and hard work of Justin, Andrew, Erin, and Joey are the driving force behind the strong sense of community that has been built within the gym. They are a testament to the success of the establishment, and their efforts should be highly valued and appreciated.

Thank you for providing such an exceptional team who consistently strive to make a positive impact on the gym experience.

I joined this gym two years ago, have had Talar as a personal trainer for a year. I feel great and have accomplished a lot. This is one of my favorite places to be. It’s a great gym and has everything you need! Employees are friendly, helpful, and the atmosphere of this gym is very safe and positive. I’m 73 years old and feel like I’m getting stronger everyday!

Stephanie and Andrew are awesome!
(Other staff is friendly and professional as well.).

The gym is organized, clean, and well laid out. If you are tired of having to deal with high schoolers in overcrowded gyms where they don't take progression seriously, then this is the place for you!

Pretty nice place with a dedicated parking lot (that had spaces available, at least on Saturday when I went). My only complaints were the equipment and facility was pretty dirty and a machine I tried to use was not properly maintained (seated calf raise, the seat was not tightened and moved significantly side to side) and not marked or signed as broken. Otherwise, effective place to work out and not crowded.

Erin has been an amazing coach! From explaining each workout we do, how its done, and what those exercises target, she has clearly communicated it with me. She has an approachable and friendly demeanor that helps with my social anxiety when going to the gym.

Small & Basic yet functional. It gets the job done if I happen to be in the area. I’ve had an all club membership since 2020 and probably visited this location 4 times. They recently called me to tell me I could no longer use their services with my all club membership however if I pay them extra directly I can continue to visit. Obviously it wouldn’t be of value because I do not live anywhere near Glendale. This is a bizarre up-sale tactic and additionally it’s the only location that hasn’t welcomed me with open arms.
