Anytime Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I’ve been an Anytime Fitness member for 7 years and in that time I’ve worked out at AFs all over Australia and in the US, but the best of the best is right here in Redan. Great management and staff with Simone, Mitchell and Mike running a super clean, very well equipped gym. Plus they’re always available to assist or answer questions. Goodonya guys see ya tomorrow!
Fantastic experience: A great gym with super-friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: What an absolute standout Gym, on so many levels! Firstly I want to start with feeling so welcome and having my anxiety around gyms lessened. Michael made me feel so welcome and is an absolute delight to speak with. He is so vibrant with his personality and really makes you feel welcome, including the awesome fist pump everytime you visit! The gyms other staff are all so friendly and welcoming too! The Gym is exceptionally clean and equipment well maintained. I love coming here simply because of the staff and because I feel so excited about going. I'm a 1st time Gym user and I highly recommend AF especially if you have anxieties around gyms. You wont regret it.
Fantastic experience: Walked in last friday to get a membership. Big shoutout to Mitchell for great service. Never felt so welcome!
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Anytime Fitness here, and I couldn't be more impressed with the facilities. The gym is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with a wide range of modern equipment that caters to all fitness levels.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic atmosphere staff great and gym is spotless
Hi John! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to share with us your experience and kind words! It means so much to us when people do this! We are absolutely over the moon that you have had such a good experience with us! We really pride ourselves in putting members first and ensuring we have that clean and positive atmosphere! It is reviews like this that really help to validate that we are doing the right things! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Positive experience: Good gym. Nice people. Good location. Equipment is in good condition. Strangely no wifi in this location.
Hi Jim! Thank you so much for your kind review, it is very much appreciated! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Michael is a delight! Made me feel so welcome on my tour :) can’t wait to meet the rest of the crew on my journey with Anytime!
Hey Tahnee! Thanks so much for the great review! It was lovely to meet you! We're very lucky to meet great people like yourself, your work ethic and resilience is admirable and that will definitely translate well to achieving your goals with Anytime! I hope you're not working too hard though and get some time to relax! All the best legend, see you soon!
Fantastic experience: My experience at Anytime Fitness has been nothing but exceptional. The gym is kept exceptionally clean, and a very friendly and welcoming environment to train in. If you ever had doubts about walking into a gym for the first time, the staff at Ballarat make this incredibly easy to do. Everyone is so incredibly supportive, friendly and welcoming. The staff make it very easy to ask questions and make you feel comfortable. Big shout out to all involved. But the biggest shout out goes to the owner, Michael Huckstepp who I've known for years, for all the hard work and effort he has put into everything he does and the time and compassion he has for everyone which helps create this environment at the gym. The endless hours, sleepless nights and still, he never shows any sign. He always greets you with a smile and makes you feel loved and that you belong. He has the biggest heart, incredibly selfless but most of all the most compassionate and caring person I have ever met. Well done Michael on all the hard work you have done! It's incredible to see it all coming together! You created an amazing place to be!
Lisa! You’ve made our day and my day personally! The friendly, supportive and welcoming feelings that you have with us (that we are ecstatic about), you have helped create yourself and in turn makes us feel the same way by leaving lovely reviews like this! Far too often in life people don’t take the time to understand, but don’t hesitate to judge. You touch on some incredibly important points about people having doubts about walking into a gym and it is imperatively important to us that we take the time to understand everyone as we all have self-doubts, anxiety, stresses, pressure and being able to have a positive influence over those emotions that can often prevent us from feeling happy is one of, if not the most rewarding things we do (this should not be limited to a gym environment, and I love the reality that if people leave our doors with more self confidence, self respect and happiness, this will become self fulfilling in everything else they do in their day and life). Without sounding too cliched, we view ourselves as being in the ‘business’ of helping people be happier (you do that yourself, we are just lucky you allow us to play a positive role in doing that) and that’s why I love reading reviews like this, because it confirms we’re on the right track. Wow, how to do I respond about me. I am so lucky that I have found a place at Anytime Fitness to continue to amplify what has been a very rewarding purpose for me in helping people feel happier (the people I have met and the way they make me feel happier will be a far more lasting memory than anything else for me too). There are no shortages of ‘zero sum games’ in life and I don’t like the idea of someone only being able to progress if someone else regresses or makes it harder for someone else to progress. Which we should never get in a gym environment if we stay conscious of that, which we absolutely do. This is exactly why I wanted to pursue this, as we can thrive as a collective and individually which fosters such a positive, happy, enthusiastic and optimistic community which is so highly valuable for everyone (I'd like to think the challenges everyone was forced to face in recent years has created pause for people to assess what they really value in life and bringing happier and healthier people together after they were forced apart is part of that). It’s because of this purpose that it makes it easier to deal with any challenge that comes about for myself (if you know your why, you’ll figure out the how). Thank you very very much for the kind words and thank you for being someone that helps make it an amazing place, one person cannot do that, we have a community of people who do that and we’re very grateful for it!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, clean, spacious gym. The best shower facilities I have ever used. Like a posh hotel! Love the wall mounted Ski Erg - big PB today. Very happy.
Hi Chris, thank you so much for your time today. I love talking with enthusiastic people that are pursuing passions, it's infectious and inspiring. Thank you so much for your kind words, wisdom and advice (it is highly valued). Congratulations on your achievements last August and all the best in June! You'll smash it! Todays training is a good sign! You've inspired me! Now I need to get on the Ski Erg!
Fantastic experience: Anytime Fitness Ballarat has everything I need for a workout, but the best part of my AF Ballarat experience is the staff- especially friendly and welcoming smiles and attitudes of Jodie and Mitch. Amazing work, guys!
Hi Radnaa! Thank you so much for your kind words. It is so nice to hear. The highlight of our days is getting to meet, getting to know and share in the lives of our great members, so thank you for being a member of our Anytime Fitness family!
Fantastic experience: Solid anytime fitness. Lots of cardio related machines. Good strength training area but no deadlift platform, though there are a set of maps to use. Friendly seeming and kept very clean.
Thanks so much Matthew!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic home gym of mine and the team there are fabulous with all the clean equipment and environment and good vibes I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants to obtain all there fitness goals and motivation all wrapt into one.
Much appreciated. Thank you!
Negative experience: Went in today guy would not let me train because I had work boots on that are cleaner than my runners what a joke didn't even ask to see if they had mud i understand if they had mud if I had runners on that had mud it would be ok because there not work boots no other anytime fitness has a problem just this one if came back when it was not staffed then there would not be a problem q
Hi Don, thanks for the feedback but you will find the same club rules in regards to appropriate workout attire enforced across all Anytime Fitness clubs. Unfortunately work boots, gum boots, slippers, thongs etc are not classified as appropriate gym footwear, regardless of their condition.
Fantastic experience: ATF at Redan is the fitness place to go to in Ballarat. Always friendly staff and cleanliness and safety is 100%.
Thank you so much Dianne!
Negative experience: just know if you sign up and decide to cancel in the 7 day cooling off period you wont get the 100$/200$ down payment back, also kind of smells.
Hi Doug, thanks for your feedback. Once a 24/7 key fob is coded to a member's account, we're unable to re-use it for another member. This is stated in your membership terms and we politely suggested that you hold onto your key fob in case you'd like to use it at some point in the future. Your key fob and discounted activation was $99 all up, so suggesting that there was a non-refundable down payment of $200 is quite misleading and not a fair representation of Anytime Fitness.
Positive experience: Overall a good gym, there's plenty of cardio and weights options. It's a little on the small side but if you pick your times right there are no issues accessing the equipment. Staff are attentive and polite with members. Could use another cable cross over machine but space is limited
Thanks so much for your review Jake!
Fantastic experience: Staff are very helpful and friendly.The club is clean and equipment is always maintained.
Thanks so much Deb! We love having you as part of the family.
Fantastic experience: The staff are lovely and always make a point to say hello and bye, very helpful when needed and very approachable. The gym has a really nice vibe, very clean and put together which makes it easy to do your workout. Smaller then most gyms I've been too but it has everything you need and I find people are generally more respectful here.
Thanks so much Lydia!
Fantastic experience: Anytime Fitness has everything that a gym can offer. But that's not what makes me go for my goals at Anytime Fitness Ballarat. The staff there, Mitch, Jodie and Chris make me feel like I'm welcomed there anytime and that makes me comfortable during my workout. Feels good to be fit & happy.
Thank you Sarath!
Fantastic experience: Was someome who's loved exercise but avoided gyms because of way gym culture can present in media. But I have felt nothing but supported and welcome at Anytime Fitness Ballarat. The staff are so welcoming and always greet with a smile, they helped me find a personal trainer to help me learn more and achieve my goals! Thanks AF Ballarat team!
Thank you so much for your kind words Crystal. We're glad you found Anytime Fitness and love having you as a member of the AF Family!
Fantastic experience: Always warm and welcoming staff. The facility is well kept. Great equipment. I enjoy earning food-credits on their high-end treadmills many times a week.
Appreciate the great review Jordan. Thank you!
Negative experience: They don't have free trials, as seen on their website. Misleading
Hi J, free trials are available on a limited basis with specific terms & conditions. As we discussed, you don't qualify for this offer as you are not a local resident and only in Ballarat for a short period of time. Under these circumstances you would need to purchase casual sessions, which we think is fair...
Fantastic experience: Amazing supportive staff and excellent clean facilities! Highly recommended
Thanks very much Tarrant!
Fantastic experience: Messaged about purchasing a 2 week pass whilst I was down in Ballarat for uni placement. Mitch was super helpful and so lovely! Thanks team!
Thanks Tanisha!
Fantastic experience: Not overcrowded, due to 24/7 hours. Lovely facilities. Great staff.
Thanks for the lovely review!
Fantastic experience: Just love ❤️ the atmosphere Great friendly staff Good equipment and a great mob go there Awesome that you can go all over the country
Thanks so much Phil!
Fantastic experience: Have been coming here most mornings since December and it’s always been an enjoyable experience. Nearly everyone wipes down the equipment after use which is great to see (COVID-19 has probably improved that habit). Can get a little bit busy in the purple floor space as it’s not a large area but the overall layout of the building and equipment is fantastic, I’ve rarely had to wait to use any equipment. Great selection of cable attachments too.
Thanks for the great review Mitch!
Negative experience: Their entry system didn't accept my tag! What's the point of being a part of a group if you can't offer access to members from other AF clubs
Hi there! The issue you experienced will be due to not yet uploading your vaccine certificate for our location. Please email us ([email protected]) so we can assist.
Negative experience: Staff is very helpful and nice but not the best behavior for a manager to be impolite and rude.
Hi Gursimran, sorry but we're not quite sure what you are referring to. Please send us an email ([email protected]) so we can resolve any issues :)
Fantastic experience: I have been a member with AF Ballarat for over 18 months and have loved the inclusiveness of the club. I have really enjoyed the friendly environment fostered by Clancy and Nick in particular. I will be leaving the region for work reasons shortly and will miss the great gym and staff running the club. Nothing is to hard for them and this posting is a small thank you. Keep up the good work:)
Thanks so much Gavin, will be sad to see you go! - Clancy
Positive experience: Awesome place.
Thanks so much Rob!
Fantastic experience: This gym was refitted in 2020 with new equipment and it's great. It's clean & there is plenty of space to work out (i.e. the equipment is not all placed on top of each other). Clancy and the team are professional and always quick to respond to queries. Anytime Fitness is affordable & love the flexibility of it being open 24/7
Thanks so much Symon!
Fantastic experience: Great friendly gym. Clancy (the Manager) is a great communicator and listens to my needs.
Thanks so much Donna!
Fantastic experience: Amazing little gym, can't recommend it enough. Haven't had a bad experience there
Thanks so much Keegan!
Fantastic experience: Our gym from 3 years and on haha
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, very quiet most mornings when I go Would love to see a few more specific machines but for the most part everything you could ever need. Membership is very affordable and staff lovely to work with if you have concerns/requests. For example I asked to pause my membership for a surgery and it was no hassle, other gyms I've been to are a pain about such things Plenty of space for yoga/stretching activities and you'll almost never be right next to someone for cardio/leg day
Thanks for the 5 star review!
Fantastic experience: A standard Anytime. Has all the amenities and large selection of work out gear and equipment. Very clean and a nice environment.
Thanks Travis!
Fantastic experience: Well set out gym. Good equipment. Not too crowded even during peak time. Clancy the manager is lovely to deal with, professional and approachable.
Thanks so much Ron!
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout when you feel the need.
Thanks!
Fantastic experience: This anytime fitness is fantastic can get lost in it because of massive gym, well organised.
Thanks for the 5 stars!!
Fantastic experience: Clancy and Nick, Very sad to see you go ! CLANCY, What an amazing 30 months it has been! you have navigated B-AF through 25 months of Covid Pandemic and under your stewardship B-AF has evolved from a good gym to an exceptional gym. For me, B-AF is " My comfort zone away from home " and this is testament to the ambience which you have created within the gym. NICK, After 6 years of only treadmill,thanks for the last 12 months of Personal Training Sessions which have greatly improved my fitness, and which i will continue to do. TO CLANCY AND NICK, MY VERY BEST WISHES FOR ALL YOUR FUTURE ENDEVOURS
Thanks so much Maurice!
Fantastic experience: Clean gym and friendly staff
Thanks Peter. Much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and great members and a great gym and a great place to be..Thanks Anytime Fitness thanks chris for helping me get on track with my fitness.
Thank you so much Sharon!!
Fantastic experience: Good club with Great members....
Thanks Greg!
Fantastic experience: No idea there not opened
Finally open again!
Fantastic experience: Trainer had gentle eyes, 10/10
Negative experience: Called to ask about membership and free trial as advertised on the website. Staff member “Clancy” Stated that this gym does not offer a free trial despite the website promise. She would not disclose prices. She told me in a very condescending way that if prices are that important to me then I would not be welcome in this Gym anyway. I’ve never had this treatment in any gym before especially in this time of Covid when so many people are losing there jobs. To have such an arrogant attitude is insensitive. All I wanted was to go to a gym and do something positive instead of staying at home and looking for a job. Very poor service.
Hi Amir. There's no excuse for your rude behaviour on our phone call, and your review doesn't accurately describe our conversation. Attempted call back however phone not connected. Happy trolling!
Fantastic experience: Just renovated last week looks great, more open allowing for some new and more cardio equipment looks like also more equipment in the free weights area.
Thanks so much for the great review!
Positive experience: Being renovated. Drove all this way. Doesn't matter where I'm a member at.
Which location are you a member at?
Fantastic experience: Staff are amazing
Thank you so much Sharon!
Positive experience: A+
Thanks so much Mathew!
Positive experience: Good place to stop and have a workout when you're driving through
Thanks Jim!
Positive experience: Good facilities although a little on the small side compared to my home gym. But clean and works well with what they have. Just pick your time wisely.
Thanks Andy. Refurbishments coming early next year will help us make more use of the space too!
Fantastic experience: Gym just got refurbished, so its very pretty and all the machines are new. Membership entitles you to full gym access (proper free weights section, lots of cardio machines, and lots of weights machines) 24h, and during the day staff are there for you to bug with workout questions. Security are nearby at night.
Thanks for the great review Emily!
Fantastic experience: Friendly environment
Thanks Kyle!
Fantastic experience: Manager is friendly and always greets every member. I am a gym junkie myself. I would strongly recommend this gym for your health and fitness. No exercise class but great for weight training and cardio workout. Personal trainers are for you just ask the manager.
Thanks Hugo!
Positive experience: Clean n tidy
Thanks Michael! Let us know what we can do to make it a 5-star experience for you! We love feedback
Fantastic experience: Top gym. Well maintained, variety of cardio, free weights (incremented up to 50kgs) and machine/cable weights. Friendly staff and PT sessions available.
Thanks Bastiaan!
Fantastic experience: super friendly staff, and clean environment
Thanks Richard! :)
Fantastic experience: Over ten years a member. There are gyms in Ballarat for those who want to build muscle, there are smaller gyms with less equipment and there are gyms which focus on classes. This sits in the middle of those. Plenty of weight and cardio equipment, always able to get to a machine, but most importantly the other gym members are friendly and make the place what it is. Plus it's great value for money.
Thanks Stuart! :)
Negative experience: Needs new equipment. The cross trainers are ancient, doesn't allow the natural body movements. You need to get the Lifefitness equipment ASAP.
Hi Chandi, at the time of your review all our equipment was brand new, including the cross trainers!! Please reach out to us if you have other issues we can help with...
Positive experience: Good equipment, very clean.
Thanks Matt! :)
Fantastic experience: Range of equipment and great atmosphere to workout in.
Thanks Rebecca! :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym, always clean and tidy with modern equipment. Staff are really friendly and helpful.
Thanks Patrick! :)
Fantastic experience: Best 24/7 Gym in Ballarat! The staff and friendly and willing to help you and it has a fantastic community of people, I highly recommended if you are looking for a gym check out this one. Also it is very clean which is great for a gym with such heavy traffic!
Thanks James! :)
Fantastic experience: Great Gym - Open 24/7. The Manager Simone is lovely and very helpful. It's never too busy and Maxifoods is right around the corner where you can get free Coffee!
Thanks Alex! :)
