Anytime Fitness

It has all the equipment you need and it’s well maintained. Downside is it’s a small space so you’re often dodging others working out and getting hit by an errant dumbbell! Some easy things that could be addressed is the water fountain is not accessible when classes are on (different times) and not all the disinfectant wipe stations have bins by them so you have to move around to find one.

Absolutely love this gym! As someone with severe depression and live alone, I rely on fitness during these difficult times and they welcomed me with open arms. I was impressed to see how much staff is cleaning and seem to genuinely care about the safety of others. They were always walking around and making sure other members are following guidelines to. Thank-you so much Anytime for staying open. You're saving lives in more ways than you know.

Editing my previous 5-star review and wish I could give 6. This gym is great and by far the best Anytime I've been to in Ottawa - always clean, great equipment, and the staff are all so lovely. During a time when everyone is frustrated and life is underwhelming, I can always count on Lisa's friendly face welcoming me at the gym!

Gym wasn't too crowded at the time. Got coached by my friend. Felt absolutely alive. Don't stop the grind. You owe it to your future self and future family.

This really is a great gym and I think it’s largely due to the owner, Lisa. She very clearly cares so much about the gym and everyone in it. It’s also really clean!

EDIT: from 1 star to 5 just because I talked to management and they were so sweet!! I realize that not every member there is that rude and I will go there again, just hope I don’t accidentally touch this girl’s equipment- God forbid!! ? OG POST: One particular member there is very rude! I could not believe the way she spoke to me, like she owned the place! Actually not even the owners would be that inconsiderate. It’s sad that people like that taint great business’ because the location is great, clean and the manager is awesome! ?

Getting a non commitment membership here? Forget about it, even after you want to cancel you have to wait another 30 days before they let you cancel. Even if you try and make that happen you spend weeks chasing down the manager in person to sign the form. Apparently it’s impossible to do over the phone so if you’re travelling then good luck dealing with them. Definitely not the best costumer service out the other gyms in the area.

I found out pretty quickly during the lockdowns how integral being able to access a gym is, to not only my physical health, but my mental health as well. Joining this location was the best decision I could have made for my overall well-being during this pandemic. I became a member in February of 2021, and realized quite quickly that I had not just joined a fitness facility, but a community of kind, respectful, and supportive people. The amount of encouragement I’ve received from not only staff, but other members as well, when working out and learning new things, has been such a fantastic experience! It’s transformed my relationship with fitness from feeling like a burden to being a really positive part of my weekly routine. This has become my “happy place”! The manager of this location, Lisa, runs a very tight ship. I have never been in such a clean gym! The workout and shower facilities are always spotless and well-organized on her watch. Lisa is also incredibly sweet and super knowledgeable, she’ll never hesitate to give you a hand with your form or figuring out the best setup for an exercise you’re learning if you ask for help. My bench press form definitely improved under her guidance! You also have access to personal trainers at this location. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Frank for a few months last summer and had a blast! I had no idea what I was doing with free weights, and by the end of our sessions I was armed with a whole new set of skills, and confident in my use of them. The pace he set during our workouts challenged me without being intimidating, which really helped to maximize my growth. Frank was patient, professional, supportive, and so much fun! I learned so much from him and I’m very much looking forward to picking up more sessions in the future. Overall, I’m so happy with my decision to become a member here. 10/5 stars!
