I only have three very specific complaints.
1. The water from the bottle-filling station tastes funky, even after they replaced the filter.
2. Some of the metal free weights and attachments smell crazy; they need to be BRUSHED clean. Wiping them is NOT sufficient to get the gunk out from the little crevices in the grips.
3. The lat pulldown attachment is falling apart (along with some other attachments), and needs to be replaced. You'd think stuff like this would be maintained more proactively.
Regarding more general stuff, it does get pretty packed during peak hours. I don't think I've ever seen the cardio equipment fully occupied, but you...read full review
Been hitting up Anytime Fitness on Broadway for a few months now, and it's solid. The gym's got a good mix of cardio and strength equipment, plus a turf area for functional workouts. It's always clean, and the staff is friendly. Only downside is that it can get a bit crowded during peak hours, but that's to be expected. Overall, a great spot to get your workout in.
After touring various gyms in the city, I settled on this one because I needed access to accommodate my busy schedule. However, what really made me commit was the staff. Devon, the manager, is an incredibly caring individual who took the time to answer all of my questions related to equipment, payment, and dues. As someone on a budget, Devon took the time to help me figure out what would work for me. As for the gym itself, the equipment is great and there is a variety of machines, free weights, and dumbbells depending on your preferences.
