BE WARY OF THIS PLACE(A GYM BUSINESS MODEL THAT ENCASHES YOUR NON-USAGE OF THE GYM)Please be very wary of this name. When I signed up I was told that it is a standard contract and if needed I would be offered flexibility, especially in the event of any illness that prevents me from using the facilities. Post covid I suffered from a condition called exercise induced rhinitis - a condition characterized by intense breathing difficulty followed by physical exertion. I got intensely sick after few sessions at the gym preventing me from using the gym after the first few days. I called up and intended to cancel the membership when I was told that there is the flexibility to freeze it until I feel better. I was charged for the fob for its inactivation, further ensuing that I am not using the facility. What followed was intense texting campaign asking me to reinstate the direct debit even though I only used the facility for few days. When I didn?t reinstate, the messages took the form of coercion and threats of credit control agency taking over payment affecting my credit score. For a gym usage of less than a month, I am now approached by credit control agency for more than 300 pounds, thanks to the sneaky fine print in their contract, that you don?t anticipate when signing up for a gym and that counts on you not using the facility but still extracting money for it. As a gym they had not even heard of a condition called exercise induced Asthma which further raises question on their positioning in the health and wellbeing industry and definitely doesn?t inspire confidence. I was asked for a doctor?s note stating that I have the condition like this. How would the doctor confirm this? Make me work out to induce an intense asthma attack? But that?s not their problem. As long the money keeps coming in.I would stay away from businesses like this who run on such shady profit hungry philosophies and not selling what is on the tin. An environment for health improvement is what you expect from a gym, not an extortion agent. But, that?s probably what you would end up getting from this place.

Chilled environment, for someone that's new to the gym life, I feel relaxed to be able to train and get on with sessions.

I would give 0 stars if it was possible. The management do not care about anything except themselves

Me and my wife recently viewed a few gyms in Colchester as we were looking for a place to get fit. All the gyms we saw had great equipment and the prices were similar, however the team at Anytime fitness stood out from the rest. It wasn't just their knowledge, it was how welcoming they were. They understood our nervousness in joining a gym as we are both unfit, and made us feel at home. We have now joined and enjoyed our first training session. If you're a newby, we definitely recommend giving this place a try.

East Colchester Anytime: Chris (Cris? - who cares) Christian Gormley, that guy and Dean, top level blokes, honestly. Really welcoming, very professional and knowledgeable. Best environment, chilled out. I really can't rate this branch high enough. Shower rooms are always spot on as well, machines always in excellent working condition. Quality place with quality staff.

I recently lost my ring at AF colchester east and the team there were incredible, they went above and beyond to help me search the gym and then checked cctv for me. Hopefully it turns up soon. They even checked in on me the next morning because my fob hadn?t worked! (No fault of theirs - I just needed to renew my membership with the branch I'm a member at) The time, effort and care the team put in to help me even though i was just visiting is so highly appreciated, more than i could have hoped for. Thank you all!! It means a lot!

I was never into gym and stuff like that but this gym was always such a nice and positive space with awesome facilities that I have started going 5 times a week. Another great thing is that they are open 24/7, so you can find the best time for you. Highly recommended and they have very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely gym with amazing staff, there?s use of the upstairs areas and free weights if you don?t like being around others downstairs but everyone is so friendly and helpful it?s much nicer to be downstairs! Great equipment and nice clean toilets and shower facilities. Couldn?t ask for more!! ?

I started at this gym about 2 years ago and I wouldn?t change to another one if someone paid me to. They have great facilities, individual showers and toilets, a wide variety of cable machines and a good sized free weight area and a good choice of cardio machines. They also have 2 studios upstairs, one which regularly has classes running including Yoga, Pilates, Spin, Zumba, Ab Attack and Legs Bums and Tums to name a few.Since their refurbishment in August the gym has a much more contemporary look with the addition of a sled track.The good thing about anytime fitness east Colchester is that they are always looking at ways to improve and welcome any suggestions from members.They have a great, friendly staff who are on hand to help with any queries you may have and will give you advice on how to get the most out of your workout.
