I liked the environment and had been coming to the location for the last few weeks, but now there is a few night clubs in the plaza and the parking lot floods as it did tonight and people trying to follow me in the gym because they were drunk.

This place has outdated equipment and other gym goers who are rude, inconsiderate, take up way too many machines at a time and blast fox news throughout the whole gym that I need to have headphones on max volume to just cover up. Like if you want to watch something, do it on your own device and don't be using 4 machines at once while doing it. Not a one time occurrence either. Only time this gym is not crowded is 12am.

Limited on the equipment (2 Smith machines & no power rack, not enough padding on the leg extension/curl machine to use it without crying, missing wheels from benches, only one working elliptical machine (My wife hurt her hip using an elliptical when the footplate suddenly loosened itself from its connecting rod, only one shower, only one toilet, padding on leg extension machine so worn that its unusable). The least selection of machines and machines in much worse condition than any Anytime Fitness I’ve tried. I do not believe this place gets a routine safety inspection or any inspection by the host company judging by the state and placement of the equipment.EASILY the worst Anytime Fitness location I have visited considering travel to several locations within IL, IN, OH, WV, NC, SC, PA, NY, FL, TN, KY, and GA.This is the only Anytime I have ever heard of that requires a contract to sign up. Unfortunately I told her to sign up for whatever was required, but a contract was not expressed or implied. She did sign the contract so we are stuck with it.Update 12/31/2018 (see pics):Pull down machine will not engage with pin. Alan bolt is loose. No note that it is being repaired.Also, no wheel on the movable bench.Update 03/27/2019:Good morning to 63* inside temperature. Maybe the HVAC system is broken. Maybe under repair. With this place who knows?Update 3/30/2019 see pics:The caution sign atop the 45lb weight has been sitting there by the leg press for a solid week at this point.Update 9/14/2019:The gym mysteriously took on new ownership after I contacted corporate and asked them to come observe the mess. The new owners are great. I have noticed they have been hard at work bringing this location up to a reasonable standard of cleanliness, functionality, and professional logic that Anytime customers expect and do appreciate. I can't quite give it 5 stars because it is still in the project period, but I can deal with 3 instead of the previous 1. It still severely lacks equipment. There are 0 power racks. There is no true decline bench. Etc.Update 2/27/2020:πŸ‘ŒπŸΎπŸ‘ŒπŸΎπŸ‘ŒπŸΎπŸ‘ŒπŸΎπŸ‘ŒπŸΎ

I am new to the gym scene and only been accustomed to the military side of things. Always crowded and active duty have priority and the VA well is the VA and don’t expect much from them but next veteran. The staff answers any questions you have and this place is not crowded. I’m up there in age but working on getting myself back into shape. I love it here and have made new friends who share the same interests. I’m glad I decided to make this my place to work out. I see a little wear on some things but in much better shape than Uncle Sam provided us. I just put in my earbuds and get to work. I really enjoy this place and as you see from my pics I’m assuming there are no waiting issues at all. Trying to get my friends to share in my enthusiasm and work out with me. Such a big difference and worth it!!!

This is an awesome gym which gives you that family feel. Everyone from the staff to the members are super friendly and welcoming. The gym is constantly being cleaned, which is a huge plus during these Covid times. Member voices are heard, and equipment is taken care of.
