Anytime Fitness

Pros: - Wide array of equipment and ample amount of racks that always ensure there's something open for someone to do their lifts. -Weight lifting based, perfect for dedicated lifters and body building competitors, especially with the back rooms. - Huge free weights floor and extensive dumbell weight range. - Multiple rooms for different fitness goals and genres. - Bathrooms and changing areas are often well kept. - Great parking. Cons: - It's messy. Not by a small amount or something easily passable, the gym is wildly unorganised and it's disappointing to see with such a huge AF gym. I've skimmed over previous reviews and this issue has been brought up multiple times, the only response received is a copy and pasted answer. It's an issue, the staff know it's an issue, the members know it's an issue and blatantly ignoring it is losing member attendance. 17.5kgs dumbbells on the bottom shelf while 40kg dumbbells sit in their place is not acceptable, missing dumbbells from the lower weights is unacceptable and weight plates being scattered from the front door to the coles upstairs is frustrating enough to want to walk out mid-session. The staff I have seen manning the office have never left the office except to go to the bathroom. Every other AF I've been to have had staff members out reorganising plates and equipment every. Single. Session. I've seen Anytime Fitness across 3 states and I have NEVER encountered a messier one than this. The team in sunnybank hills is especially amazing, out there on the hour every hour ensuring everyone's good and that the gym is tidy. Ipswich gym is organised, clean, and the staff ensure the gym is in good shape. I live 3 minutes away from this gym and now have to travel to Ipswich Booval AF, because this gym is disastrous. I can't speak about the trainers, nor the staff because I've never had any interaction with them, however it's a very simple fix. The lack of organization is whittled down to laziness and arrogance on behalf of the manning staff. There's really no excuse for not organising your plates, it's at no financial cost and it'd give people in the office something to do other than play on their phones.
