I did the 6 week challenge. It was a great experience. Nice clean facilities, and the group sessions were small and a fun crowd. Ilene is awesome, her workouts are challenging but also give you room to adapt to what your body can handle. Overall, I recommend it!

This location is always clean and isnt overly crowded like other gyms. The machines are all new and the treadmills even have their own built in TVs you can watch. They also offer professional training/coaching if thats something youre interested in. Its never stuffy in there and there is adequate airflow and ventilation; which includes a huge sliding glass door that is open in the day time. There are several private restrooms which are always clean, stocked and they even supply them with mouthwash, Q-Tips, TVs, private showers, body wash, feminine products, lotion, towels, Febreeze, a hairdryer, porcelain toilet seats, and top-notch soft toilet paper. Theyre open 24/7 for that late night or early bird workout and parking is ample. Ive never had a bad experience here and you dont have to worry about same sex or opposite gawking at you. Its just a laid back, high quality gym at a reasonable price. Your membership also gets you in at any other Anytime Fitness location.

As the gym, they required wearing mask, but a lot of people still did not wear it. Also, The staff did not even warn them. I was the only one who covered nose and mouth fully.

The dirtiest most disgusting Anytime Fitness I’ve visited. The bathroom smell like piss and smoke. The shower handle was broken and wouldn’t turn off. Avoid this Anytime Fitness location!!

This gym is seriously awesome! It is always super clean and well maintained. The Management Team is friendly and professional and always ready to help with any questions (shout out to Kevin). Ive been a personal trainer for years, so I always assess the mix of equipment a gym has and they really did an amazing job here with the right balance to get a great workout. Best of all, you can come in 24/7 so no excuses!

I really like this place, the staff and the clients. It is a nice clean facility that shows the pride of the people that belong to the club. Very friendly and encouraging atmosphere. Definitely pushes for higher goals and continuous improvement no matter where you start from or what level you are at. High value on health and building strength, endurance, and physical fitness . I have met my first goal of at least a year now at 1 -1/2 year disciplined 3 days a week and now I tell my self I will target a continuous 10 year plan. A very motivating place and staff.Best!Steve

Love this gym. Far better then the big gyms around here. They have the same EXACT equipment and literally more. They have TRX machines, full kettlebell set, bumper weights for deadlift.. you name it they got it.

The gym closed due to COVID, but kept charging their monthly membership fee.There was no way to cancel your membership either as the place was unstaffed and there was no online way to cancel. (Phones didn’t work at this time either)How they think it’s ok to charge for a service they aren’t providing and don’t give you an opportunity to cancel is beyond me.It doesn’t matter how smiley the trainers are when they first sign you up, it’s a business and they will treat your wallet like their own - without giving you an opportunity to leave.Dont enroll here - go to a gym that you can cancel online or over the phone when gyms are restricted.

This place is great! I’ve been a member for about 9 months now and I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. Thank you Anytime Fitness! Your helpful trainer Matt was so down to earth and knowledgeable he inspired me to keep it up its a way of life! I’m very proud to say I enrolled my daughter and she’s really taking to it nicely! Thanks again Anytime Fitness.

This place rocks! I signed up for the 6-week challenge and 28 weeks later Im still at it. The challenge taught me discipline and educated me on the proper diet. Follow the diet plan and the weight comes off. Its really true that diet is 90% and the exercise is 10%. Follow the exercise plan and participate in the group trainings and your life will change. I still attempt to workout in the small groups at least three times a week when Im not traveling. The classes are fun, engaging but no lie...you will sweat...you will breathe hard and you will lay on the floor saying...help me! But all in a good way. The coaches are great! Each one is unique and different but all our committed to helping you succeed. Im glad I decided to participate in the challenge and keep my membership going once it was completed. Do it...sign up...change your actions and change your life!

I absolutely love my gym! I moved here a year ago, and I was thrown way off track from my fitness routine. In addition to this, my autoimmune issues began to flare & I needed to take a new direction with my fitness regimen. Everyone at Anytime fitness has been knowledgeable, helpful, educated and fun! Group fitness is a blast & will get you into shape, and Im loving learning about what my body specifically needs through personal training & weight lifting. I train with Seth & its a blessing! Its a game changer with him & exactly what I need to be safe / take my workouts to the next level. Evan & Matt always greet with a smile & huge hello. They help me when I need it & I appreciate them so much! The gym is exceptionally clean & well taken care of. This is huge for me too! What are yall waiting for ?? Check out anytime fitness in Carlsbad!

I love this gym! I moved here from New Jersey in May, and Ive been at Anytime Fitness basically everyday since. The team training classes are my favorite - the trainers are amazing people who push you each minute of the hour, the workouts are challenging and non-repetitive, and the class itself is super fun. It definitely makes it easy to come back. Very lucky that I found this hidden gem!

This is the BEST gym I have ever been a part of!! Since day one the staff and facilities have been top notch. The opportunity to work out when I want is great and the machines and gym are always clean and working. It is close to parking which is always available and the staff is AMAZING they are there for anything you need and feel more like a family than a gym!! Love this place!!!

Love working out here. Equipment is new, layout is perfect for exercise and there are PRIVATE bathroom/showers if needed. They have a large supply of towels to use and just got in larger towels. All the people that work there or work out are friendly and helpful. The trainers are great also. I tend to go during non busy times because it is not crowded (they are open 24 hours!) and try out different machines to see if I like. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys working out.

Review №17

BUYER BEWAREI joined this club because the location was the most convenient to both home and work. My main purpose was to get in to the boot camp style class but within a couple visits, I decided this place wasnt for me. I asked about cancelling my contract and even paying a cancellation fee but was told my contract does not allow cancellation. WHAT? So, I had to pay out every month for 18 months for a gym membership that was of absolutely no use to me.The location is much smaller than other ones I have since visited, and the flooring in the group class area (its too small to call it anything else) has some kind of carpeting that feels like the hard side of velcro. You need every bit of skin covered or you will end up scratched up and possibly even bleeding. (Ask my how I know.) You could get by if you wear knee and elbow pads.Anyway, my rating is mostly for the handling of the contract. So, if youre considering this place, make sure youre okay with paying for the full amount, whether you try to quit in the first couple weeks or you stay longer. In fact, maybe just avoid the contract altogether, though that is where they offer deals. Now I know why.So, once again, buyer beware.

Anytime fitness has everything you could wish for in a gym!Top of the line equipment, fully maintained/clean and the friendliest managers and trainers.This gym provides great one on one personal training as well as highly effective classes to kick your a** into your dream shape. If gyms intimidate you this is the complete opposite, it’s truly a place you can work out and feel comfortable no matter where you are in your body goals.I love the fact that you can work out ANYTIME. My work hours are a bit chaotic so I like knowing I can get a good sweat on anytime of the day without worrying about “open hours”.If your looking for a gym that has it all... well, it’s here at anytime fitness!

Anytime fitness is a great facility! It is clean, amazing workouts & a good community. The owner is amazing & so is his team! They are all very understanding & helpful. I joined the 6 week challenged and lost 3% body fat! I feel stronger everyday and can’t go without it!

Review №20

This gym is awesome!! Evan & Seth have honestly been a great source of motivation & support. I never felt such a sense of community from a gym until I joined here. I started with their 6 week group training challenge about a year ago and it truly had a positive impact on my life. I lost about 30 lbs doing group training and with the help of their nutritional plans. Ive also done personal training with Seth and now Ive become stronger & more fit than Ive ever been in my life!! I couldnt be happier with my results :)

As a traveling professional I have only been to this gym once but the staff has left a lasting impression! The extra activities and training programs offered are unique in the best way possible. The facility is clean and the equipment is in great condition. I will definitely be back every time I am in the Carlsbad area!

Review №22

The most amazing gym I have ever belonged to. Evan, Seth and Brandon are all so helpful, friendly and motivating. Always greeted with a smile and lots of energy. The 6 week challenge was just what I needed and it has changed my life. I have new better eating habits and I am continuing with my weekly classes. Can’t wait to see what the next 6 weeks brings. The gym is so clean, bright and welcoming. It may not be big but to me it feels like home. So glad I joined and look forward to training for years to come.

Review №23

This gym is small which is sorta double edged.The worst part about it is they dont have all the machines Im used to, but this isnt that big of a deal! They have everything you need to work any part of your body so you just need to get used to it.The good part about it? Literally everything else! You get to know the staff, the manager greets me every day, the trainer does the same and even throws some pointers my way if he sees me doing something off. The amenities are also great! Towel service, hydro massage, and best yet is full sized private showers that are stocked with everything you need! Lastly, the price cant be beat. I was reluctant to sign up with Anytime since I hadnt heard of them before this location opened but now Im extremely glad I did.

I could not be any more grateful for the team at Anytime Fitness in Carlsbad. I just completed the 6 week challenge and I am down 12 lbs and 5% body fat. More importantly, I am gaining confidence and adapting to a healthier lifestyle. I have been to many other gyms and the team and environment here does not compare. I decided to become a member and it’s the best decision i have ever made. The group classes are fun yet challenging. The gym is more intimate (which i love) and always clean. The staff really tries to get to know you, remembers you by name and small details. I appreciate everyone here. I look forward to continue to work with everyone. I, without a doubt, recommend this gym to everyone!

Review №26

So I finally decided to make a change for the better...I joined up on the 6 week challenge knowing it was gonna be tough and not sure what I was getting into. I personally did not think Id be able to commit to this program as I worked 12hr shifts at night with weird block schedules. However in the orientation Evan answered all of my questions and I also learned of the multiple classes throughout the week, in which I had control as to what days I could go in and workout. The staff at this location consider you as a friend the moment you arrive. From the very start they will encourage you, they will be supportive of your goals, and they will always be there to push you to the next level when your ready. Apart from the awesome staff, you have individuals with similar goals who will also encourage and cheer you on as you accomplish the milestones you set forth. Today marks the end of my 6 Week challenge. I have adopted healthier eating habits, a loss of 10 pounds/4% body fat, and most importantly... I feel a whole lot better than I did 6 weeks ago. For someone who hasnt done any REAL exercise in almost 6 years... I did real good, and will be joining the 6 week challenge next year. Cant wait :D

Review №28

Clean and spacious, with very friendly, knowlegable and attentive staff. This is NOT an overcrowded supermarket sized facility by any stretch of the imagination. Open 24/7 . Owner Evan, seems to always be looking for ways improve the experience from adding yoga to their list of group workouts to upgrading to larger and more luxurious FREE towels; he listens to his clients and probably knows each and every customers name. Of course having the key fob reader pop up the name of the person entering probably has something to do with that but still,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :)

Review №31

Here’s my reasons for 1 Star.It started out ok, but I moved away from the area and repeatedly asked to cancel since the gym was no longer convenient but was denied since I am within 25 miles of the gym. Who drives 25 miles to a gym? 🙄 so I pay $43 a month for something I don’t use. On me tho, I should have read the contract closer but would think they would do the right thing and cancel it, but no so they keep getting my money.Also when I started, the gym was not crowded and you could access everything. I was told by the owner, it’s always like this, you’ll like it. Shortly after, they introduced group classes for FREE in an effort to increase membership, and these classes would basically take over the whole gym. So all the people who weren’t paying would take over the gym from us that were. Didn’t sit well with me and I was just told, oh you can go use it - but how when there’s a flurry of 20 people going to use it and mind you this is a very small gym.Lastly, the company they use to debit the membership fees (ABC - I think) operate like thugs. They will put a hold on your entire balance in your account to get their measly $43. I found this out when someone else was trying to debit me for something and they couldn’t. When I called the bank I was informed they had a hold on ALL of my funds as if they were going to debit all of it.I’m sure this works for some people but not for me. I would not join an Anytime fitness again in the future for these reasons.

Review №33

Great facility! It’s always super clean, the members are always down to earth & super friendly. Great place to get away for a bit & hit the weights/relieve some stress. Evan keeps the place in great shape, works with you on membership issues, struggles, etc. You name it & you can always go in with no fear of getting hassled or asked why you need to change whatever.The group classes are fun & can kick your a$$ at times! Which is needed! The only negative I would say is that there isn’t a sauna right now BUT was already told that that’s coming soon so be patient! There really is enough equipment in there to get whatever type of workout in.The remainder of the trainers as well are all super cool, whether you have a quick question about a workout, exercise, nutrition info or you just want to say hi & shoot the s**t they’re all really cool & down to earth!

Clean facility, most up to date/new equipment, and excellent management. Its great for all needs and levels of fitness. What is important to note is they really make a point to get to know you and give you more of a personal experience. This where everyone knows your name environment provides me a team feeling and it keeps me in a routine and keeps me coming back. I tend to lose commitment to larger, impersonal gyms. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that does not like large, packed gyms.

I did the 6 week challenge at Anytime Fitness in Carlsbad and I couldnt be happier with the results. They provided an easy to follow nutrition plan and group HIIT sessions throughout the 6 weeks...and I was able to lose 28lbs in that time! Evan, Jennifer, and Seth are great! (and I’m sure Brandon is as well but I didnt attend any of his evening sessions) They have created a great culture and vibe where everyone cheers each other on and pushes each other without making anyone feel uncomfortable no matter what level of fitness theyre at. This place truly is for people of all levels of fitness. Highly recommend this gym if you are looking for somewhere you can get a great workout in and not feel out of place. Plus, the results speak for themselves...Im excited about finally getting back into shape after struggling to do it on my own for the past few years! Give them a try if you are looking for an alternative to big box gyms...no contracts mean youve got nothing to lose.

Review №69

Dont go here. They stopped running the air conditioning, its fine when they are staffed because theyve started opening all the doors but in unstaffed hours its extremely stuffy and too hot. Theres not very much equipment which is fine when its empty but when other people are there things get trickier and its harder to get a workout in. I stayed because I enjoyed working with a trainer that was there even though I felt it was over priced for what was available and I was shorting myself with my work out but hes not there now.Plus the owner completely changes his behavior when you cancel. Then he trys to overcharge you. In the contract it says 30 days notice and he verbally said that to my husband as well trying to get us to stay longer but then tried to charge for 60 days. He also promised to lower our rate to stay but we were charged the same amount as always not even a week later. They waited half a week to processes my cancellation and I contacted there billing company and they had scheduled a payment of $136 when it should have be $40 for the prorated 30 days. I sent a copy of my contract to my credit card company and they flagged future charges from them as fraudulant and they are threatening collections because the charge wont go through. Im not the only one he did this to multiple people had to do disputes on there credit cards when the left because of overcharging. One of my friends canceled in July and they were still charging her monthly last month. So save yourself the trouble and dont start here at all. Theyve been reported to the better business bureu and corporate.One last thing to add they also promote that they will give you a free month to your membership if you get someone else to enroll which my husband and I both did and then they never give it to you.
