Anytime Fitness

Fantastic experience: Visiting from the US, this is nicer than any Anytime Fitness back home. American memberships work perfectly here, and patrons are friendly and courteous. Too bad AF are not as nice back home

Fantastic experience: Great location inside Collins Square, with all of the machines and free weights that you could need! The staff are always available for a chat as well, which gives it a great personal touch!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym. It has everything you need, always clean, friendly staff and never too busy.

Negative experience: Gyms quite small and on weekdays the offer corporate classes over lunch break which utilises half the gym equipment which causes the other half of the gym to be super crowded and not enough equipment for members

Fantastic experience: great gym

Positive experience: Not much equipment options Doesn't even have a stair master Small. Not enough wipes Reason for use is that it is 24 hours in the city region unlike other anytimes in cbd. Hence can only give 3 stars.

Fantastic experience: As everyone has said nice tidy gym. But as others have said it needs better signage!!! Took us 10 mins to find entrance as the biggest sign is at the staff entrance.

Fantastic experience: Awesome little gym with great city views! Literally one of the cleanest gyms I've ever been to. Easy access and great selection of equipment (including mobility). Had the best 3 am workout one could between flights. Thanks, Melbourne!

Fantastic experience: A great little gym, with all the equipment I need. What makes this gym stand out from all of the other Anytime Fitness Gyms I've been to is Costa! He's a great asset to the gym and is always welcoming and up for a chat every visit. If you're looking around for a gym this January, this is definitely one you should consider!

Positive experience: Summary: I had the opportunity to visit 3 times over (4 days) during the NY break. Did a PPL split to maximise limited time and was able to get most of my work done. Nice, clean and tidy Gym. Has all the basic equipment for a total body workout… but there are some issues. The details… If you’re new to this gym or visiting for the first time, a few things to be aware of: 1. They use Precor equipment so if you’re like me and used to lifefitness/hammer strength, allow extra time to set up. 2. Dumbbells go up to 40s only. 3. The leg press machine has a weird “C” shaped foot plate. Unless your toes and ankle curve up, going for heavy top sets is not an option. 4. It’s a ‘smaller’ gym, so they don’t have the full assortment of isolation machines like for bis, tris, calfs, and side delts. Of course there are free weight or cable variations for these. But something to note. 5. Gym entrance is up some stairs about 10m back from the green door that google maps shows as the entrance. Pros: 1. Nice. Clean and tidy 2. The converging incline chest press machine... magic 3. The seated chest supported row machine… amazing 4. The iso Lat pull down machine with the swivel handles... chefs’ kiss! 5. Lots of cardio machines 6. Lost of space in the fictional section with the sled. 7. Not as busy as other gyms (although I visited during the first week of Jan 24) 8. heaps of free after hours parking around adjacent streets. (After 6 or 7pm I think) Cons: 1. This is a major con for me. I think because the gym is located within retail/office spaces, they have to have extra sound deadening and/or shock absorbing floors. The entire free weight section seems to be on a raised platform with springs. It is really bouncy. Not want you want in that section when stability is what u need when going for your heavy top sets using free weights. (Probably why the DBs only go to 40s). This creates massive instability for me when I was hitting my top heavy sets (bench, weighted dips and DB shoulder presses). U can feel the soft springy floor giving way. So hitting max top set is probably not a good idea here. Doing weighted dips with just a 20 plate warming up would shake the entire machine. The machines and racks seem solid, no loose bolts or joints, just floors are too soft/bouncy. To the point where I was just pushing the side of the bench press rack with 1 hand and the entire rack would move and bounce with the floor. 2. All the barbells seem to be deadlift barbells. The springy Flexi type. Great for dead lifts, but no so great when just incline benching 3 plates and seeing the bar flex that much. Really noticeable when I was doing just 150 RDLs. Combine this with the springy floors… you get the idea now right? 3. Small con - the adhesive in the rubber grips around the pull up bar on the big cable station appears to have let go and the rubber is just freely rotating around the handle. Fine when doing body weight pull ups, but when I added some weight to the belt I can really feel the grip letting go and had to end my set a few reps short of my goal. Overall I enjoyed training here and using the Precor machines which were completely new to me. I just had to adjust from hitting top sets, to dropping a few kgs to compensate for the instability and go for higher reps to get the desired intensity. 4 out of 5 Stars! (would have been 5/5 if not for the springy floor in the free weight section)

Fantastic experience: Great little gym, suits me perfectly for location

Fantastic experience: I work in the same building and this is my go to Gym. Great location for me, and good equipment. Can do a good workout. Costa is great, always friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for over 2 years now and it’s a great gym with everything I need and more. Always great to see Costa’s smile. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and atmosphere keep me training hard

Fantastic experience: Gym is always clean and always smells clean. Costa the manager is friendly and approachable and always up for a chat. Despite its size it’s a great and convenient gym to train at!

Fantastic experience: So I’ve been in the fitness industry for quite some time and it was my first time going into an Anytime fitness I spoke with Costa. From the minute I walked in the greeting and the positivity that he had, the knowledge of the gym and understanding of what I was looking for was impressive. I don’t always leave reviews of it when someone stands out like that I will and Costa you are the main reason that I joined up on the day I was only thinking of just having a look around. Since then I notice he always speaks to members , , he always has a smile and he is a great asset to these club! You rock costa

Negative experience: Wouldn’t cancel my membership. I tried to contact anytime fitness multiple times. Nothing. Still charged me extra months before my membership was finally cancelled. After that, they send Ecollect to get their money for my membership, which I tried to cancel for months. Avoid at all costs.

Negative experience: I wanted to go there for a month so I signed up a month contract. The trainer told me I can just write an email and they cancel it then. So I wrote them a week before the month ended. I have to pay one more month now. So if you want to stay just one month you have to sign up and cancel directly. That is just ridiculous especially because I told them that I am backpacking at the moment (meaning I don’t have money)

Fantastic experience: Love this Anytime Fitness! Conveniently located next to my building and lots of others, and doesn't get too busy at lunchtime when I workout. The manager has great energy and is so welcoming. This gym is better than others in the area as a lot of their stuff is stolen and not replaced! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is a great spot that’s conveniently located to make going to the gym part of your daily routine. Great equipment that’s well maintained, clean environment, friendly and accessible staff. A trip to Anytime Fitness is easily the best way for me to start my day!

Fantastic experience: Been a member here for a few months now. This is a great place to come and work out. Place is immaculate and well looked after. I can always get a machine - and never any pressure to move on to another if I want a long workout. Ideal location as I work in the building. Costa runs the place. A good bloke - always makes you feel welcome. Highly recommend signing up here if you work in the Docklands end of the city. Perfect location for a lunchtime workout. Great ammenities (showers / change area etc). Makes it easier and quicker to fit your workout in if you only get an hour for lunch.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here. A friend and I were traveling from Sydney and we had a few hours to kill before we could check in to our hotel. We came to the gym with our luggage and a gentleman named Costa greeted us with a very warm welcome. He let us put our luggage in the office where he was working and watched over them while we trained. He was very kind and helpful. Gyms need more people like Costa. The facility itself was clean, tidy and well maintained. Toilets and showers were kept in order. No complaints at all with this gym. Special thanks to Costa for being so accommodating. You’re a real one.

Fantastic experience: I have a been an anytime member at docklands for several years. The manager Costa is fantastic, is always extremenly welcoming knowledgeable and friendly and is always up to have chat. The location of they Gym is awesome, especially if you re located in docklands and even better if in collins square. Having a gym in such close proitmity to where i work allows me to balance work/life/fiteness so much easier. if you work in Collins square i cant recommend this gym enough.

Fantastic experience: The best anytime fitness club I’ve been to! Costa’s so lovely and the circuit classes are awesome during lunch

Fantastic experience: Fun and friendly environment, convenient location, not super big but got all the key machines you need to start your fitness journey

Fantastic experience: Great little club. Not too busy so you can get on the various stations without a wait. Good variety of equipment and an area for circuit training. Mgmt at the club are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Location is great. It also represents great value for money. There’s a wide range of equipment to use. Gym is clean. The manager Costa is always helpful and happy to assist with any questions or enquiries. Highly recommend.

Negative experience: There is no network coverage just inside that gym which is very annoying. I work in the same building and there are no issues in the rest of the area. Please provide a wi-fi facility for your patrons if there is network issues in the gym. Other anytime fitness gyms provide that. Network requirement is to watch exercise YouTube videos for guidance during workouts or make video calls with a friend who could possibly guide us with The workouts When we cannot afford a PT The issue was raised directly with the manager to which his response was that network is bad in Docklands which is clearly not true. It is only inside that gym !!! It is not that overly expensive to provide wifi within the premise. Other anytime fitness gyms have this although I never need to use their wifi

Fantastic experience: Love this club so much! Had so many great workouts here: sweating my arse off on the treadys looking out onto the lawn and the car museum building :) Always a pleasure coming back and seeing Costa and the team :)

Fantastic experience: Costa runs a great gym in Docklands. There is everything you need to maximize your results, whatever your goals are.

Negative experience: Got there, door google maps told me to go to was locked with no buzzer. Unstaffed on weekends so couldnt call to find out if another entrance. Waste of my time. Edit: thanks for the reply trying to shame me lol. People sign up to anytime fitness for the convenience, you're unstaffed two days of the week and multiple reviews have said your signage is hard to find. I checked them all to find a response telling me where to go but you hadn't replied to any. In essence the inconvenience for a business that is supposed to be reliable gave the 1 star. Negative stars for the unprofessional response.

Negative experience: Spammy annoying to deal with!!!!! You'd have a new customer if you weren't so annoying. Do not put your contact number in on their website period. UPDATE: the response from the owner and the same person Costa I had the displeasure of dealing with should be everything you need to know. You're a child with annoying marketing tactics Costa, get a grip mate.

Fantastic experience: No two ways about it, it’s a ripper little gym in a great location. The gym manager Costa is super friendly and very helpful.

Positive experience: Gym is pretty small, with dumbbells only going to 40kgs. It's your typical city gym. The gym was very clean though with everything in its place and in working order

Fantastic experience: I received great customer service from the gym manager while training at Docklands. Being new to the gym, Costa took time out of his day to show me the ropes and allowed me time to ask questions. There is also a great range of equipment. I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area.

Fantastic experience: Great workout , good people

Positive experience: Convenient location, but the weights area is small, so even with a few people in the gym it gets crowded. Plenty of cardio equipment and a large open exercise area

Fantastic experience: I like their balance between the price and service. The employees are so friendly and the man who works in the docklands branch is so kind

Fantastic experience: I loved the gym very much hygienic and the staff was very helpful friendly supportive. I enjoyed my time there

Positive experience: Good communication and listening to the costumer. I suggest maybe with the time they can provide some extra equipment i think would be good.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with good vibes

Positive experience: I’ve been in Melbourne for the weekend and I had the chance to train in this Anytime Fitness. I went there in the night so it was pleasantly empty. It took me a while to figure out where the entrance was, because on the street level there’s a door under the gym’s signboard so I was looking where to swipe my key there. Then I walked a bit, I’ve seen stairs and the entrance was up there on the first floor. I prefer training with Life Fitness equipment but obviously you can have a proper training with Precor as well. The place was clean.

Positive experience: Nice place, but smaller than other gyms. It's very close to Southern Cross Station though, so convenient for city workers. It's very clean and has nice changerooms/showers.

Positive experience: A little small, but proximity to southern cross station is a plus. Nice open/functional area that is well stocked, and has a couple machines you don't frequently find. Overall great spot when it isn't crowded, though some phone operators seem to have poor reception in the building.

Positive experience: decent no frills gym

Negative experience: The staff was so rude. When I came, she did not allow me access the gym. The reason why that I am new member of another branch for 17 days.

Negative experience: The staff were rude and condescending, the worst anytime fitness ever

Fantastic experience: Amazing services.

Fantastic experience: This place and its staff... amazing. Working so hard during this tough time and going above and beyond to make sure the facility is so clean and hygienic. Rapt to know I can still keep training somewhere and feel comfortable and safe.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with lots of strength equipment

Positive experience: Please turn the air con cooler during the evenings. It is like an oven in there sometimes when working out. Especially during summer and humid days.

Negative experience: I wish I could do a negative rating, when you are interested in joining them , every thing is easy peasy and just a click away with all the possible support. However if you want to cancel the membership that is where you start getting to know all the hurdles. They can start earning straight away but cancellation will require a month's notice . I understand that they are not charitable institutions and they are there for making money but this is sheer duping in broad daylight .

Positive experience: HOW TO FIND. If you’ve never been here, and you end up at the sign next to subway, walk down the road towards the Yarra River and go up the stairs on the left. Entrance to the gym is on the left after you’re up the stairs.

Positive experience: Signs to get in could be clearer!

Negative experience: Third anytime fitness venue that I have used and certainly the most lacking in equipment. Great location, hope the owner looks to make it better equipped too

Fantastic experience: Gran gimnasio y buenos profesores

Fantastic experience: Clean facility, plenty of change rooms and friendly staff.

Negative experience: A terrible place - Avoid Avoid I subscribed for a one month trial. However I found out that they created a direct debit without my approval and continued charging my CC. I emailed them to stop charging my credit card, however they CONTINUED charging my credit card. I EMAILED them AGAIN and AGAIN and still they acted as nothing happened and continued charging my credit card. Even when when I disputed the transactions they STILL kept charging my credit card. When I contacted my bank they told me this is a known issue about them and the best thing to do is to cancel your credit card and be reissued another one.

Positive experience: Good gym. Space and equipment adequate

Positive experience: Well maintained and clean gym's. Affordable memberships and friendly staff

Positive experience: This is a great gym, with modern treadmills and facilities, but they need better cooling and fans.

Positive experience: Great gym. Large space. Good equipment. But if you want to train listening to your own musics with you earphone...forget it. The music they play is too loud..

Fantastic experience: Nice clean gym with spacious stretching area. The owner Phil is great. Would recommend to a friend.

Negative experience: I came on Friday to cancel my membership. Spoke to the manager and he told me to wait. After 15 mins waiting ( he served other people even they came after me, but they are potential new members - which I didn’t really mind at that time - well new clients are of course more appreciated then people who are leaving) he advised me to go home, he got my details and he will do the cancellation and send me an email to confirm. I didn’t receive any email after 4 days and called back and was advised that the membership hasn’t cancelled. I don’t really have time to chase this. I think you should have better process and more professional way of treating clients.

Fantastic experience: Great gym facilities and handy to me below my workplace!

Positive experience: Good gym with punching bags. Only issue is at peak times there can be a long queue for showers/toilet. Sometimes better to use public toilet next to Woolies.

Positive experience: Great variety of machines

Fantastic experience: Very clean gym. Has all equipment.

Positive experience: Best spot for work out

Fantastic experience: Staff are super helpful, the facilities are great and the location is convenient. Highly recommend.

Positive experience: Much smaller with limited equipment compared to other Anytime gyms, still gets the job done though.

Negative experience: Decent location. Clean & tidy but limited floor space. Only 2 toilets in the whole gym. Combine this with peak times & you get the picture.

Positive experience: Nice spacious gym and less crowded as compared to others, but there is no option to select music, like in other Anytime fitness gyms in CBD.

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable service from the staff. Phil and Carla are amazing to deal with. Fantastic gym, great location. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff! Carla is fantastic. Clean, well equipped, and maintianed gym with activity area that has boxing equipment.

Negative experience: Have had a problem with my membership now for almost 6 weeks and can't use any of the other gyms, they won't call me back to sort this out but happily take the money out of my account.

Fantastic experience: Typical anytime but has great functional space. Especially impressed by the many punch / kick bags.

Positive experience: Good gym, quite well organised although it's on the smaller side. If you need to use the functional training area, then go outside class times.

Negative experience: Applied for the free trial on the net. Turned up to the gym where the manager said "we don't really do that here." Went across the road to Jetts, manager gave me a week trial and I signed up. Would recommend the manager at anytime pull his head in.

Positive experience: Great location and equipment for a gym visit during the work day in the city, although it's a bit smaller than some of the AF's in the burbs. They have a different equipment supplier (not Lifefitness).....Only thing lacking is machines for biceps/triceps... @AF Docklands - Thanks for taking my feedback and having good coat hangers...

Positive experience: The best Anytime gym in Melbourne CBD! Clean and tidy but machines focus on torso and leg muscles. No machines for arms. You'd have to use the dumbells and barbells. Very clean and tidy. Not too crowded like most other gyms.

Positive experience: Reasonable prices, good natural light, new equipment and convenient if you have other Anytime Fitness near work/home like I do. Not a bad option.
