Anytime Fitness

As a Trainer myself, I can be quite picky. The criteria for a 5 star gym would have to be a balance between plenty of room and all the best equipment, and maintaining the vibe of a neighbourhood gym that welcomes beginners and oldies alike. Generally it's hard to find one without the other. This place ticks all the boxes. There's a real community of gym novices and general fitness enthusiasts that keeps it from feeling like a skeezy bro gym. Despite that, any serious lifters can access plenty of platforms, racks, machines and will still feel welcome. When I visited, there were a couple of lads squatting 140kg in one space and an elderly man and woman utilising the functional zone somewhere else. How rare to find a place that truly welcomes all sorts and fits right in to the community. Space: Probably 400m² x more floors (I only used the first floor). Washrooms: 3 or 4 showers and as many or more toilets. All really well cleaned with fancy fragrance in each of the bathrooms. Equipment: Very well maintained. Every kind of leg machine (except a hip thrust), 3 squat racks, an oly platform, bumper plates. More back, chest, arm and shoulder machines than I can use in a day. Functional space is well laid out and even has a rope pull (no other gyms have those). Tons of cardio equipment like treadmills with fancy screens to watch something while you work. Staff: It was unstaffed at the time I went so i can't speak for them. Members: seemed quite mixed and somewhat friendly. Felt very comfortable and safe. Covid safety: plenty of wipes, super simple to check in, everyone was using a towel and very clean. Parking: heaps of spaces. I can't imagine anyone ever having an issue. Location: Close to Erina fair, easy to turn in of the main road. Plenty of signage to find the place.
