Anytime Fitness

Negative experience: You can't hear music from your phone due to very loud industrial techno playing over the weekends, with no ability to lower and no staff to ask. No assistance offered in spite of several complaints. Filthy, dirty showers with broken appliances...I did a test once and left a drop of conditioner in the corner, it was there for two weeks! Staff not busy with cleaning, but very busy with each other, mostly cuddling in their office.

Negative experience: Decent gym, although could do with some more 20/25kg plates as there’s not enough when the gym has more than 10 people in it. It’s usually pretty quiet, however bathrooms and gym is pretty dirty, wouldn’t take much to keep the place clean. Pros: - quiet gym - good layout/floor space - friendly members Cons: - not enough handle variations for cables (get bear-grips like Anytime Fitness Newbury) - bathrooms dirty and never have soap - gym is pretty dirty in general - need more 20/25kg plates Could be a very good gym if they took a leaf out of Anytime Fitness Newbury’s book!

Negative experience: Don’t respond to emails, or pick up there phone. Hide behind debt recovery companies. Spineless.

Positive experience: Nice staff Good gym equipment Clean & tidy

Fantastic experience: Spacious gym with plenty of equipment. Friendly staff

Negative experience: The worst anytime fitnes I visit... Staff dont clean gym, missing equipment, all the time blac music from speakers... Really? On gym? Where is normal gym motivation music? Disappointed

Positive experience: Perfectly fine gym, it has the things you need for a good workout. As someone that has used a fair few of these gyms, this one without a doubt is the dirtiest one I have been to. In general the place is dirty, the mirrors are disgusting, the floors are pretty gross and the windowsills are filthy. The plates are all over the place and accessories are all over the floors. The staff need to be on top of this and atleast clean the mirrors.

Negative experience: Turned up a few times to take look with a view to joining, but each time the door was locked and the staff inside ignored me. Been at different times, so no idea what is going on.

Negative experience: This would be no stars if there was the option. Since being taken over the place has gone rapidly downhill. Just been Today - no staff - no cleaning material at all - the place is really dirty and one air con unit giving out very little cool air. Before writing this post I have twice emailed ATF to voice my concerns and asked for a response and to date I have heard nothing. The place is a joke

Negative experience: Terrible gym- staff are rude and unhelpful, equipment constantly broken and not fixed, gym was constantly dirty and staff do not enforce cleaning even during a pandemic. Made to feel like a nescience just for attending the gym. Have cancelled my membership and will never return to an anytime fitness owned gym. There are other gyms in Abingdon that are far better value and have decent staff and equipment, if you value your money and time do not waste it here.

Negative experience: Terrible service from Anytime Fitness. I cancelled my membership but they refused and now I owe £433.00 or they'll send the boys round! Do not sign up to their gym membership contracts!!!

Negative experience: Worst gym ever , I have canceled my account with them but still getting charged after months, I called them and they said no we are not charging you and they hand up the phone on me. Rudest people working ever.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Friendly staff and can excercise whenever you want to. Superb!

Negative experience: I called several times and was told I would get a call back but no one rang

Positive experience: Friendly staff and members, now open 24hrs again. Sensible COVID- 19 controls which staff enforce. Easy access from adjacent road network.

Fantastic experience: Popped in for a quick session on my way from work. Gym did not disappoint. Same standard as my local one in Newbury. Essential equipment available as expected. Parking at the front.

Fantastic experience: Great value

Negative experience: I am anytime fitness fan but this one is small, only 2 toilets that are always occupied and someone queuing, nobody presented the gym when i joined and i have paid joining fee, only reason i’m here is as it’s close to my home...sorry guys no more than 2 stars...

Fantastic experience: Recently joined but already so impressed here. Previously I used another gym in Abingdon that was cheaper but I now see that cheap was not the way to go and my workout was suffering because of it. So while I was initially put off by the price, you soon see you get what you pay for in that: - The gym is very well equipped (in quantity and quality) - It is always clean - Open 24/7 - Shower and changing facilities, perfect for if you need to head off somewhere (e.g. work) straight after! - Staff are experienced and friendly with Personal Trainers available You even get a workouts app as part of the membership meaning you can work out from home if you cant make it to the gym. It has workout descriptions and videos to guide you, with pre planned workout sessions for you to follow. Access to the gym (parking/cycling) is good with free parking and cycle racks available. Many discounts on top of the membership which are a nice bonus! I am yet to try any classes but will update my review if I do.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Negative experience: Smalls calendar but expensive

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff. Plenty of facilities. Doesnt get swarmed like your normal council run gym. Prices are good. Classes are run by super fun and engaging PTs. Here 5 days a week and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Negative experience: Staff ignore emails

Positive experience: Brilliant, well priced and open 24/7, can't ask for more

Positive experience: Like any of the Anytime Fitness chain that I have used, this is a clean well equipped spacious gym. 24/7 access for members with reasonable fees for this type of gym. Plenty of parking and never normally very busy in the gym so you can normally get to do what you need to do.

Fantastic experience: Good place for work out.

Negative experience: I joined the Abingdon branch in Jan this year as this was the only 24h gym in the area and I prefer to go late during the evenings due to my anxiety. I phoned the gym in around May to freeze my membership for 1-2 months due to going away on holiday which was fine and it was done without any issues. I called again just before September wanting to cancel my membership due to a medical condition and was told that i'll have to obtain a letter from my GP (due to 12 month contact) however until then they will freeze my account for 3 months. They also said since i was calling so close to beginning of September, The direct debit for September will still come out as normal however it will be taken as final payment when your membership is cancelled. I don't see why i should have to pay for September however i agreed none the less. Since i had 3 months not to mention i'm quite busy working 7 days a week, I decided to get a letter from my GP during my next check up mid October however i noticed the Gym taking Octobers payment when they should not have. I called in to the gym about this and was initially told to call before 4PM to speak to the manger about this as he works 10-4. I called in the following day and the manager refused to help at all. He claimed i was lying and they have no record of my account being frozen and to pop in the gym if i need to discuss further and hung up. i've since contacted them on facebook and they have refused to help me and my account is STILL active meaning they are intending to take Novembers payment (which they bloody well won't as i'll be cancelling - £39 doesn't grow on trees). The gym is refusing to freeze my account even still and they have the cheek to tell me that even if i provide them with written notice of cancellation + GP letter, they will still take November + December payment and won't issue a refund to my Door fob deposit. I work pretty hard for my money and don't intend these frauds to take my hard earned money hence i'm intending to go to court. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff, excellent equipment and always clean and tidy.

Fantastic experience: Open 24 hours good for who not have time in day can go every time when you have free time

Positive experience: Easily the best gym in Abingdon. Attracts a friendly, inclusive clients helping to make the gym a refreshing place to visit. Excellent, well kept equipment. 24hour access if you like going at a time that suits you. Regular classes in work hours and plenty of video classes to choose from. Prices are great also, best gym in Abingdon by far.

Positive experience: Small but quiet, 24/7 access, nice kit but not much of it. A bit expensive for what you get.

Positive experience: Need more equipment

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean and fully equipped.

Fantastic experience: Nice little gym, ample equipment rarely any waiting for your kit, great staff. Decent discounts for introductions; tell them I sent you!

Fantastic experience: Excellent clean and tidy facilities, friendly and helpful staff, would highly recommend it

Positive experience: Clean, never busy. Good location

Fantastic experience: It's a very small gym but I love the fact that it's open 24/7, ideal for busy professionals

Negative experience: Have been here since it opened back in May the gym is much busier now even in the middle of the night. My main complaint with this gym though is that the bathroom and shower facilities are pretty poor. I honestly can't remember the last time I had a shower after a workout and there was shower gel in the complimentary dispenser. The hand dryers are woefully under powered and forget about trying to dry your hands with toilet paper as a last resort as there is never any of that either. The gym does have a good selection of equipment and weights however I'm not sure why they have weighted medicine balls. If you try to through them against the wall they will just go through said wall or leave a nice mark in it. This makes them fairly redundant in my opinion. Staff are pretty unapproachable and unenthusiastic in general they tend to stick to their little office and rarely venture out. Overall the gym is convenient for its 24/7 opening times but I feel that there is a lot to be desired of this gym and have certainly been a member of much better ones.

Fantastic experience: Very nice friendly gym trainers. The gym has New equipments and is very neat and tidy.
