Fantastic experience: The gym is Amazing and the staff are very welcoming and friendly

Fantastic experience: Amazing community feel at AF Highton, clean and great facilities. Club Manager Kerrie is such a great asset.

Positive experience: 3 stars because they finally updated their aging treadmills, although more often than not one or two have some sort of error on them. For as long as I can remember the water filter has been room temperature… never chilled. Would be great if they fixed that. Parking is also a bit of a nightmare as 4 of the parks in front of the gym are for electric cars, so you either need to park in the Woolies staff parking or upstairs in the Woolies customer parking, but you can’t access the gym from upstairs outside opening hours…

Positive experience: Small Gym compared others I have visited. It does have 25kg plates which is a bonus

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and club manager Kerrie is very helpful and respectful to all members

Fantastic experience: Always clean and well maintained. Equipment in good condition

Negative experience: Absolutely Right – Avoid This Gym! After seeing the previous reviews, I can 100% confirm that they’re all spot on. I had the exact same terrible experience at Anytime Fitness in Barrabool Hills Shopping Centre. The staff are shockingly rude, with a bloody attitude that makes you feel completely unwelcome. It’s unbelievable how poorly they treat their members. If you’ve read the warnings from others, believe them—I wish I had before wasting my time and money here. DO NOT join this gym. You’ll regret it.

Negative experience: URGENT WARNING: STAY AWAY FROM THIS GYM. Anytime Fitness at Barrabool Hills Shopping Centre is an absolute disgrace. The staff’s behaviour is not just rude—it’s downright hostile and completely unprofessional. Their lack of basic courtesy and outright disrespect towards members is alarming, creating an environment that feels more like a hostile zone than a gym. I’ve never experienced such appalling treatment anywhere, and it’s genuinely disturbing that they think this is acceptable. Their bloody behaviour is intolerable, and no one should have to put up with such mistreatment. For your own well-being, DO NOT go here. This place is a ticking time bomb of poor management and toxic customer service

Fantastic experience: Club manager Kez is an absolute legend and is so kind and always lending a hand :) !!

Negative experience: Regrettably, my experience with Anytime Fitness at Barrabool Hill Shopping Center has been marred by what I can only describe as deceptive business practices. Despite adhering to the cancellation process as outlined in the membership agreement, I continue to be billed for services I no longer utilize. This blatant disregard for customer rights and fair business conduct is unacceptable. I urge prospective members to exercise caution when considering Anytime Fitness as their fitness provider. Anytime Fitness is a complete rip-off! They'll happily take your money month after month, even when you're not using their gym. Save yourself the headache and avoid this scam of a fitness center at all costs.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym

Fantastic experience: Clean equipment, staff are friendly

Fantastic experience: Well equipped. Friendly staff. Clean. Easy access with onsite parking

Fantastic experience: Gym manager - Harry (the legend) is always at the gym working hard to improve the environment, going out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. He is very friendly and approachable and just overall a great fit for this gym. He is great at giving nutrition and training advice toward beginners and is always helping out. Since he joined, the gym has been a better and more enjoyable place (and the music has definitely improved)

Fantastic experience: Easy parking out front nice and clean

Fantastic experience: Good at night

Negative experience: Don’t lose your fob. - I have been a member of this Gym for a number of years and as a gymnasium I have nothing negative to say. The fob I was issued with when I joined years ago finally broke off my keyring and I could not locate it. I contacted the gym and they informed me that a replacement fob would cost me $79. We all know these things do not cost anything like this and it is just a grab for cash. I decided that I would cancel my membership rather than pay this exorbitant fee. Of course you must give notice and as it turns out I will be paying for a membership for the next 8 weeks. Fine. No problem except I can’t access the gym at any time outside of hours that there are staff there. I never go at this time and cannot access without a fob. I asked for a temporary fob to be returned at the end of my membership and was refused. So effectively I am paying close to $160 for a gym membership I can’t use at all. If I want to I can pay an extra $79. I thought unfair practices by gyms had improved over the years but obviously not. I tried to resolve this situation in an amicable way and was just accused of being rude. I was not but just wanted common sense to apply. All they had to do was replace my fob. I have been a member for years. The fob would have cost them $10. Anyway. Don’t lose that fob whatever you do.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Facilities are always in great condition.

Negative experience: A decent gym, with a bit of equipment packed into a medium sized space. Unfortunately completely ruined by the snotty attitude of staff. I had an encounter with one of the young women who worked there who told me off because the leg raise machine was making noise when I brought it down. I've been working out for over 20 years, probably almost as long as this person had been alive, and never had an issue. But more importantly was the way she went about it. Even if there had been an actual problem, there's no reason for such a snotty attitude, or to talk to a grown adult - and paying customer! - like you're telling off a naughty child. It was so bad another member came up to me afterwards to ask what the hell was that about. There are four other Anytime Fitness clubs in Geelong. I voted with my feet and my wallet and now only go to the others.

Negative experience: Had to pay an exorbitant fee to get out of my gym contract despite the gym being closed during Covid. Management and staff are not helpful and make you jump through excessive hoops when you want to cancel. Not impressed with their lack of professionalism. Would not recommend !!! Derrimut 24:7 is a much better option as they have a huge variety of classes and are staffed 24 hours.

Negative experience: Before lockdown I was fully paided up with my membership fees but was sent to a debt collector to pay outstanding fees. Once I contacted the maganger at Highton (Gabby) I was told I need to fix the situation and Anytime fitness couldn't help. I was on my own They can send you to a debt collector, admit they made a mistake but unable to make contact with the debt collector to cancel the harassment. Truly a horrible experience. Stay away if you ever want some kind of humanity as a response from potential issues.

Negative experience: Love that they haven’t been open during COVID but can still set the debt collectors on to you.... should change there name from Anytime Fitness to Anytime Debt Collection. I’ve turned up 3 times in the last year and a half and they are setting the friggen debt collectors after me....

Negative experience: The weight machines were clean and there was a good variety of different free weights and cable machines. During peak hours there can often be too many people let into the reasonably confined space!!!!

Positive experience: Great cheap gym but can get very crowded during peak times, especially in the free weights area

Positive experience: The gym is small and missing a few peices I'd like to use but it's also quiet and the equipment is new, the members also seem to be friendlier too!
