Workout Anytime Athens AL - Athens, Alabama

H E

A few years back, when i first joined. I remember thinking about how surprised i was that this gym was so clean and well maintained.

That was back around late ‘22. Fast forward to now. It’s extremely apparent that there is no sense of responsibility or pride behind the current team that’s supposed to be working this place.

A list of several observations:

1. A couple of machines are broken and have been for about two months (ab machine and leg extension machine).

The ab machine is not only broken, but it’s extremely rusty. To the point that it feels questionable using the machine at all.

2. Hand towels don’t get washed at the end of the night.

There have been several occasions where i have walked in early in the morning and there are no hand towels to wipe down machines after use.

3. Barbell weights are literally anywhere and everywhere.

Management tries to put the responsibility of the weights on the gym members. I partially understand that sentiment, but at the end of the day. It’s the responsibility of management and employees to maintain a certain standard of orderliness. That’s part of the job.

4. Worst of all. BATHROOMS DO NOT GET CLEANED!!!

I want to emphasize that I wouldn’t make a claim like this if it wasn’t true.

In the mens locker area. There is a shirt that has been sitting on top of the lockers for about a month or two. The sinks are caked in grime buildup. The toilet runs continuously and has been for a long time now. And worst of all, the showers don’t get cleaned. And i mean, AT ALL. It’s very apparent when you look at the soap holder and see the accumulation of months worth of soap buildup. Or you look at the floors and see dirt and grime (possibly mold). It was bad enough that i have used the disinfectant spray that the gym provides, to wipe down the soap holder and bench that’s right outside the shower.

My point on the showers is personal to me because i use those showers after every workout before work. If i had time to drive home and use my own shower. Then i would. But realistically, I don’t have time for that when i clock in early for work as it is.
To end this review. I’d like to say that i have been sitting on the thought of making this review for quite a while because i don’t like the thought of dragging this place through the mud, but the negligence has gone on for too long.

I genuinely hope that things turn around for the better.

Just visited a super nice fitness center in Athens. I’m an over the road truck driver in Athens weekly. I competed for over 30 years and stopped in to take a peek as I am always looking for a great place to train. I was extremely surprised.
The club was clean, laid out very nicely
with plenty of equipment, machines, free weights, power racks, dumbbells cardio all of the essentials for an old muscle head like me. I met the manager Tyler and Skyler the front desk attendant. They were courteous provided me with plenty of information. I highly recommend this location as a place to take your fitness to the next level.

Been coming to this gym off and on for a while, I’m always pleased! Tyler got me set up and he was very helpful! The equipment I’ve used is in good shape and I always get in a good workout when I come in!

Today was the final straw for me to write a review. I want to preface with the fact that I never complain online about businesses, I have never left a negative review on an establishment ever. But this place needs a serious over-haul. I woke up at 7am to go to the gym only for the scanner to not be functioning, so much for the “any-time” part of work out anytime. I’ve been coming here for a few months now and I wish there was another gym in the area I could switch to. It’s always dirty, a lot of the equipment is rusted and questionable. The front desk staff never seems to care about ANYTHING. They have never been able to answer a single question I ask them- like ever. I asked something as simple as what time do you open and one of the front desk staff didn’t know the answer and seemed confused. Every question I have asked, the front-desk didn’t know the answer to. They couldn’t answer any questions about my membership, one day I asked one of them to check me in and he seemed confused? There seems to always be a leak in the ceiling. The bathrooms are filthy. The sauna is not a sauna it’s a tiny little hot box. Sadly this is one of the only gyms in the area, and I really hope something gets done to improve the state that it’s in.

Been a full time member since 2019, excellent gym and equipment. Would and have recommended it to others. A+

Great service, clean, and I’m generally able to get a decent workout quickly when there aren’t peak times which is to be expected. I’ve never had a problem here and would recommend it to anybody trying to take their health more serious
