WORST GYM EVER - AVOID AT ALL COSTS(If I could give ZERO STARS, I would)The customer service at this gym is utterly atrocious, and the gym itself is a mess ? it should be SHUT DOWN!I joined Anytime Fitness as part of a 6-week ?free? challenge as advertised on Facebook.When I arrived for the consultation, it was made apparent that there was nothing ?free? about it. In fact, it cost me £399 + £35 for a fob deposit.If I successfully lost 25lbs (1 stone, 11 pounds/ 11kg) or 6% bodyfat by the end of the 6-week challenge, I would receive a refund of £399. If not, I would get 1 year free gym membership.Having started my weight loss journey already and my friend dragging me onto this challenge, I decided that 6% bodyfat was do-able.WORST four hundred quid I?ve EVER spent!-Gym floor is a mess with equipment strewn all over the place. Trip hazard galore.-Dirty around the edges of the gym (hairballs and dust collecting in the corners)-The flooring is spongey, dented, uneven and dangerous.-Poor repair attempts with shoddy workmanship resulting in dangerous platforms and surfaces.-Machines in need of urgent repair and upgrade, break down regularly and take ages to get repaired.-Classes never start on time (most classes were at least 10 minutes late, with some as late as 25 minutes)-Staff are unhelpful and ignore emails (unfortunately, each Anytime Fitness is owned independently so you can?t approach a ?higher rank? to get your complaint or query answered).-Lack of cleaning products to wipe down equipment after use (apparently COVID cleaning procedures taught them nothing)-Hugely overpriced at £52.95 per month. There are several gyms within the local area that are cheaper, 1000 times better quality and much better value for money.-Air conditioning is rubbish so it?s too hot to do any cardio.-Small variety of equipment.I could go on, but you get the gist.Regarding the 6-week ?free? challenge?I lost 21lbs and 9.8% body fat.I was slightly heavier on my ?weigh-in? day (you know, the usual water retention/ time of the month/ day-to-day weight fluctuation).This didn?t matter to me because I?d hit the body fat target.EXCEPT, I was told that MY target was 25lbs and that the body percentage target was for people who started with a BMI of 28 or less.I was furious that they hadn?t made this clear from the being ? the goalposts had changed.The challenge encouraged a terrible relationship with food and was, essentially, a 6-week programme of starving yourself with little help or guidance.(I mean, it?s obvious now I think about it?being asked to lose 25lbs in 6 weeks is utterly outrageous).I never received my £35 fob refund.I never received my 1-year membership following the challenge. (Though, to be fair, I wouldn?t touch that place with a barge pole following the abysmal experience I had there).

Few steroids freaks, who are too small for a proper gym and too big for fitness club...Air conditioning could work better. Quite small ,no kids allowed, which is good.

The gym floor needs replacing. The floor is like walking on a mattress, especially near the squat racks as the floor is dented from all the weights dropping.There are only 2 squat racks, one of them has a wooden plank which was used to cover up a hole in the floor so its completely unsafe to exercise on as it compresses when doing anything - it is not a lifting platform!Both squat racks are used for benching, so queue form, there is only one flat bench.Lat pull-down machine and glute leg curl constantly break down and take ages to get repaired. They should invest in plate loaded machines instead.Unnecessary space is taken by spin cycles that are rarely ever used for a class.Considering that anytime fitness startford east village is only a short distance away and has much better equipment, this gym pales in comparison.Go for a day pass to see it for yourself. Don't take my word for it.

This gym costs £52 a month. I think that's very, very overpriced considering the state of this place. It's literally decaying; most of the equipment is in a truly sorry state and is falling apart. There's always litter strewn everywhere, weights lying all over the floor and a lack of cleaning products to wipe down equipment with. I find it galling that just down the road, in East Village, you can go to an Anytime Fitness gym that looks drastically different!

Although I have not visited the gym for over a long period of time, this place always drags me back in one way or another an automated text or email reminding me to stay healthy and attend, it's small but stocked up, polite etiquette from patrons is a bonus, it has showers and touch up facilities so can always look as good leaving as you went in!Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere, clean and well kept and there is an added bonus that it is 24/7 accessible so if you don't want to interact with too many people which sometimes is understandable, then going from 23:00-05:30 would be advantageous.

very nice service, always willing to help if you need it, answer any question about this place and other anytime fitness points (if related). Not a very large assortment of equipment, but you can adapt very easy

I've been a member of this gym for several months now. The on-site team is friendly and while quite a basic gym, it has everything you need for a solid workout. It's a bit grimy and could do with a spring clean and refresh, but it's generally not too bad for the price point. As some of the other reviews point out, it's clear that some people sneak in when the gym is unstaffed, which isn't great.However, I am considering terminating my membership following a failure of one of the pieces of machinery recently. One of the cable machines snapped while I was using it last week. It had clearly not been replaced for some time and wore through to the point of failure. Thankfully I was mid-rep on quite a low weight, but I often do sets with a full-weight stack on this machine. If I had been doing that at the time I would probably have ended up with a broken nose or another serious injury.The team member who was on site was helpful and put a sign up saying that the machine was out of order. He told me that they hadn't been checked "since the beginning of the year". I then looked at a few of the other machines and saw serious wear and tear - and fraying of key cables (see photos). I have emailed the gym twice, suggesting that they do an immediate risk assessment on all machinery - but have not received any response. This is not acceptable.I have warned friends who use this gym to avoid the riskier machines as they are unsafe at present. I won't use unsafe gym machinery until I'm confident that they have been serviced by a professional. Leyton Anytime Fitness continues to ignore what is clearly a serious situation.
