"5/5 stars Everything You'd dream of in a gym"
"Quaint little gym, extremely tight and stuffy when busy"
"Great place! Im a former personal trainer and went to Goodlife fitness for years"
"STAY AWAY FROM THIS GYM This place is a cash grab and the management is non-responsive to their clients concerns! I also tried to cancel my membership when I moved away a few months into the COVID pandemic which I was unable to do because the office was closed"
"An absolutely amazing experience! The gym staff are extremely understanding of people’s situations and work around it to find a way so that everyone can get what they need"
5/5 stars Everything You'd dream of in a gym. - Free WiFi - 6/5 Stars customer service - 24h, 7 days a week... EVEN on Saturday, Sunday and HOLIDAYS... take that Goodlife. - Cleanest gym I've ever been too - The gear is always clean, high quality and New. - Showers with soap/shampoo - Individual TV's and remotes so you can chose your channel and enjoy your cardio - Awesome motivational quotes on the walls. - Anti douche bags (Classy customers and staff) - Lots of cameras so your stuff is excessively safe in there. That allows you to relax and be 110% focus on your workout - Very very very Respectful gym - Phenomenal gym for Athletes (Battle ropes are available!) - Amazing for physio therapy (more tools than an actual physiotherapist) - - Great for a healthy, functional older adulthood, athletes and/or recovery for an injury. - Wobble boards included (!!!) - PHENOMENAL choice of bands. Best I've seen in 6 different gyms. - TRX Training available - Small turf also included (great for stretching, jump rope, foam rolling, box jumping) The PERFECT Gym if you're trying to encourage your significant other to start working out. It is so clean, smells good, 100% douche-bag free and Creepy-guys free. So Happy I finally found a gym that feels like home. THANK YOU ANYTIME FITNESS !!! :0)
Quaint little gym, extremely tight and stuffy when busy. It being 24/7 makes it a good gym if you’re a night owl. Staff are nice and helpful, but management isn’t. Management has been deceitful in how they’ve handled my subscription and cancellation. Overcharging and pulling the “I never said that” line rather than handle things accordingly and respecting the person paying them. I’d avoid this gym all-together. As I previously mentioned, unless you’re a night owl, this gym isn’t worth your time and money. It’s small, looks clean but never smells it, no locker room. Weekends are atrocious as well as weekdays between 5-9. You can join GoodLife for less than Anytime yet with a far bigger and better range of equipment. I’ve heard the same story numerous times. It’s unfortunate because I’ve enjoyed conversation with the staff, just disappointed with incompetence in management.
Great place! Im a former personal trainer and went to Goodlife fitness for years. I decided to get a membership at Anytime on Beechwood because I live so close (and getting into the gym is half the battle). I was a little turned off by how small it is, but I quickly learned that the people that go to this gym are fairly serious about exercising and they don't get in the way (doesn't mean that someone whos never been to a gym can't go). It's small but surprisingly not packed and busy. The staff there are super friendly and are there to help you succeed, but they aren't annoying and in your face like many other gyms. 4 stars. Minus 1 star because of the lack of some equipment. There is some equipment I wish was there, but you can get by without it.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS GYM This place is a cash grab and the management is non-responsive to their clients concerns! I also tried to cancel my membership when I moved away a few months into the COVID pandemic which I was unable to do because the office was closed. This is understandable, however they started charging the bi-weekly fees without notice. When I called to cancel my membership, they told me that I should have cancelled my membership with 30 days notice (not possible with office closed) and informed me I will be charged an additional two times, plus the annual "maintenance fee" from June! I called the GM and left them messages on here and no response! Stay away. Its very poorly managed
An absolutely amazing experience! The gym staff are extremely understanding of people’s situations and work around it to find a way so that everyone can get what they need. Super nice staff, immaculate equipment and overall a good vibe in the gym! I am a man, but so far I haven’t had any weird people stare at me my entire workout so that’s nice! I went to see them because they were supposed to augment my monthly fee and they waived it and told me to forget about the increase and to just enjoy my workout! 10/10 would recommend to everyone I meet to attend the beechwood anytime fitness!
Good local gym, small as folks say but perfect for my schedule and best option I have found in new Edinburgh for late night use. 4 stars for size but bumping to 5 because of professionalism, below. They dealt professionally with a billing error - they had made an error and auto renewed a membership, then charged late fees, but as soon as I brought it to their attention they dealt with it right away and cancelled all charges. Keep your contract I’d say, but in this case I didn’t even need it, they had a copy and recognized the error right away.
ANYTIME FITNESS- BEECHWOOD Is by far the best location to get your workout , Well maintain, equipment is allways organised and stored away properly. The staff is very helpful and accomodating. The clients are respectful , friendly and follow gyms protocols. It is not overpacked throught the day, there is always a good balance in numbers of members also and especially during peak times. All are welcomed to join, just walk-in and someone will be there to guide you towards your fitness goal especially with the new year's around the corner.
Good selection of properly working equipment. If/when repair or fixing is needed, it's done as quickly as possible. Parking availabilty is a huge bonus. Polite, attentive, cheerful staff are keeping busy on a regular basis with looking after the gym. General upkeep, cleanliness is very satisfactory. Management pulling off for the gym to be open during lockdown was pretty remarkable. Pandemic times have been tough for everyone, especially for businesses. Everyone should try to be more understanding (when commenting for example).
Anytime Fitness Beechwood offers an exceptional fitness experience! From the friendly staff and top-notch equipment to the 24/7 accessibility, this gym has exceeded my expectations. The knowledgeable trainers provide personalized guidance and the supportive community makes workouts enjoyable. Reasonable membership rates and attentive management complete the package. I highly recommend Anytime Fitness Beechwood to anyone looking for a welcoming gym that caters to all fitness levels and helps you achieve your goals with ease.
I would caution people to be clear about the details regarding auto renew memberships because their staff do not take their best efforts to inform you of policies upon sign up. They use the word deposit loosely regarding the fob (it's non refundable after your trial) and cancellation policies. Try your best not to get caught in the system of how gyms make money. The space is extremely small with very little open spaces to do floor work. On a positive note, the machines are new and there's parking.
I’ve been trying to cancel my membership here for over a month. I have not received a single call back, and have not received a single reply to any of the 10 or so emails I’ve sent. This is getting ridiculous, I’ve even tried reaching another location that is owned by the same person. No success here either. These places just aren’t answering anything. **update** Someone from the other location finally reached out but I will need to make 2 more payments before membership is officially closed.
I love the location as it's centrally located, and the huge wall of windows here overlooks New Edinburgh. Main drawbacks for me are that it's smallish in comparison to other locations, and you will likely have to wait to use a machine. I personally don't find this gym as clean as some of the other ones in this area. The machines look dirty at times, dusty too. There's no separate studio to lift lighter weights or do your stretches. There's a designated area but not enclosed.
I agree with all of the negative reviews. Like many others, I joined the gym because of the closeness to my workplace but very disapointed with the size of the gym. I tend to go right after work and HATE it because it is always packed, there aren't enough machines, there is no room to do your own thing, the bathrooms are not really kept, and the machines are not cleaned regularly. If there was a Florida Fitness closer to me I would go but I go to this one for convenience.
Amazing staff/management who make everyone feel welcomed and equal to one another. Makes it feel like a close community. They ensure everyone does their part during these covid times to ensure everyone's safety and mental health. Highly recommend if you'd like to feel like you're a part of a community rather than just another person with a gym membership where nobody knows your name or even makes an effort to greet you at the door.
Great gym to workout but the customer service is atrocious. For the last 2 weeks I have been attempting to contact them by phone call, email and even leaving notes in the office via trainers and have received no return call. I have called daily and no answer or call back from voicemails left. This is a bit nuts! If you're hoping to get some support, book a trainer or change your membership you may want to try another gym.
⚠️PLEASE ⚠️ I highly recommend you not to deal with this gym, firstly they make you signe up for a 1year contact without any notice, the manager never understood my point. I decided to freeze my acc. They charged me a moths when it was total lockdown with no refund. All I’m saying they don’t care about customer and the Manger and stuff members are Everything except friendly.
I had been trying to cancel my subscription as I don’t live near that place anymore. There’s no contact or email where I can reach. I tried emailing but I got no response. Morning staff ( guy ) told me that they’ll send me cancellation email but never did. I travelled spending 5 hours but it wasn’t worth it. How unprofessional this can be. Can someone tell me how to cancel that ?
I've been coming to this gym for over two years now. It has comprehensive exercise equipment from bikes and machines to squat racks - all of which are in excellent condition. It's also the cleanest gym I have ever visited - at any hour of the day. The staff is very helpful, inviting and caring and it shows. A true gem of a facility and absolutely worth checking out!
This gym is perfect! its in a great location, has parking, all weight essentials for muscle development are there. Slaven the Gym Manager is the best gym manager I have ever met he makes sure the gym is well taken care of. Kelly is such a great employee she brings life to the gym. If you anyone is looking for a gym they can call home; this is the place.
I was helped by Sam who signed up my friend who was having issues with his membership at another undisclosed anytime gym and he was so helpful and welcoming to the gym and it was honestly an amazing experience. I've been going to this location now for 3 years and I would recommend anyone to come to this gym because the management here is top tier.
Decent gym, but small. The personal trainers take over multiple areas of the gym which makes it difficult and uncomfortable to workout. Which is too bad. When I signed up I was assured they weren't the kind of gym that does that. They're not the friendliest staff either. I'm currently looking for more options so I can go somewhere better.
I love this place. The nicest staff and management at any gym I've trained at in Ottawa! They actually take the time to greet you and say hello and get to know your name rather than treat you like another barcode that scanned in. If you want a gym that actually feels welcoming and friendly, Anytime Beechwood is your new spot!
I love the Anytime Fitness on Beechwood Avenue. It's friendly, informal, and relatively small -- and yet has everything you need for a serious workout. Kim, one of the personal trainers, is amazing. She's knowledgeable, thoughtful, and a ton of fun. I find myself looking forward to every single workout. Thank you!!
Fantastic Anytime Fitness location. They have a really nice universal rack in the middle which is super versatile, a really nice studio space with extra cardio machines, punching bag and full dumbbells all the way up to 100 lbs. Kettlebells, parallel bars, everything you could ever need. Clean. Very, very clean.
Great staff, good location, lots of machines to use. I go very early in the morning so it’s pretty quiet and no waiting time for said machines. I haven’t tried their personal training services but I can tell they are very attentive and encouraging to those who do. Would recommend this branch of Anytime Fitness.
I went there since my gym was closed. Was very disappointed by customer “service” (had to wait 20 minutes at the reception to talk to anyone). When I got in, the place was so packed with people I couldn’t even work out properly. The equipment was not clean when I came to use it. Would not recommend.
Really nice gym. The staff are really friendly and it's always clean. Full sets of weights and a good amount of machines. Bathrooms are full private rooms with showers so you don't feel like you're at a public rest room. Can be a bit busy in the evenings but every gym is like that. Free WiFi!
Really happy with the customer service I received here. I cancelled my trial membership SO EASILY - no hassle or anything. (I cancelled because I am building a home gym, not because of the facility). The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to friends in the area!
Probably one of the best gyms I've been to! Has everything you would want from a gym (large selection of weights, squat racks, cardio equipment, etc) and the staff are incredibly kind. Just great energy. Love this place and would definitely recommend!
Way too many trainers, occupying multiple pieces of equipment at once (especially when the gym is busy). Poor gym etiquette! I tried going to the gym at different times throughout the day and its the same story. Don't waste your time with this gym.
The staff make this gym! They're warm and welcoming, always, and set the tone for patrons. It has all the facilities I need even though it's a fairly small space. I always leave uplifted, in a great mood -- so important in these dark winter days.
I think they’ve oversold their membership. There’s only two squat racks and they’re always taken, even now as I type this at 10pm. Forget about using one during peak times of the day. And one guy has been sat on the lat pull-down for 20 minutes.
NEVER EVER AGAIN. I sigend up 3 years ago and none of the policy mentionned to me when I tried to cancel were stipulated when I signed up. This is total cash grab by the gym not refunding the key and take two extra payments when cancelling.
Gym is not responding to calls or emails regarding canceling membership as a result of COVID measures and continue to charge credit card while closed. My spouse’s credit card has been charged four times since the closing of this gym
Caffeine Kim (Personal Trainer) is a great way to start the day! The morning crew are also a good bunch. Location is excellent and there is free parking in the lot and on the road, which is a nice bonus for an inner-city gym.
This gym absolutely rocks. It may be a touch small, but the staff are fantastic and it's always tremendously clean. I have also yet to experience any equipment being broken/unavailable for more than a few days at most.
It has been my WORST experience in life, which I am absolutely going to share everywhere. Anytime Fitness proved to be a trap, where once you come in, there is no way out. I made a huge mistake, registered with them.
In 20 years of experience on gym I never thought it could be possible to I wish they bankrupt when you need to stop membership for business travel and they do nothing and still charge the bill and way more issue
Respectful staff and clean environment. Most people that go are respectful to equipment and cleanliness which helps with wanting to work out at this location. Good variety of workout gear through out the gym.
Great place. The Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Very clean, maybe the cleanest gym I ave ever seen. All the equipment is in excellent working order. I have zero complaints about the Beechwood location.
Professional service and the staff is out of this world! So helpful when answering any questions, and extremely resourceful when it comes to anything fitness related!! I will be returning to this location.
Smells, very small, extremely dirty, no covid protection in place or used, nobody not even the staff clean equipment after use, equipment is often broken, on top of all of that they also have terrible wifi
I really enjoy working out at Anytime Fitness Beechwood! It's small, and cozy, but has everything you need for a good workout. The gym is clean, all the machines work well and the staff are friendly.
So many rules can't stay more then 1 hr not enough squat racks sometimes takes 20 minutes to get one then u can only stay Max time of 1 hr so that leaves 40 min to work out staff are friendly tho
Covid safety, (2M apart and mask) was respected by everyone and it’s a pretty gym where you can train with a pretty view of Ottawa! There are lots of machines so you can train every muscle …
It's a good gym, small and can get busy. They're missing a couple of tools I like, but they have enough cable machines, benches and cardio gear that you won't be waiting if you need something.
Had an amazing experience with Sam, he was very friendly and helpful. Amazing deal for a great price. Would definitely recommend this location if you are looking for a great gym in the area.
Gym is well organized and located, good parking and public transit routes. Equipment is well-stocked and available, staff is professional. A great place to break up the daily routine.
Clean environment with friendly staff and a good range of equipment! When I go no one throws weights or is generally disruptive, so a great environment to get a solid workout in.
Always friendly and helpful staff, and the facility is always very clean and organized. And its open 24 hours a day, which is perfect for those of us who have crazy schedules!
Sam is the Man! Signed up today and was extremely helpful guiding through the on boarding process. Truly one of a kind service at a gym that is not found elsewhere. Thank you
Gym is well organized and good parking area and public transit routes. Equipment is well-stocked and available, staff is professional. Cleanness of everything in the gym
It's small gym but great staff and members who are respectful . Great place for a great workout after work . Always clean and well maintained. Keep up the great work .
Great place to workout! Inclusive, friendly environment with even friendly staff! Only downside is the gym is a bit on the smaller side. Still a great place to go!
Went in to see about a gym membership. The manager on duty (Jarett) was so helpful and made me feel very COVID safe. Also, all the equipment looked super clean.
My favorite Anytime location. The staff always works hard to keep equipment at the right place and keep the gym clean. Special shout out to Kim and Jean-Luc!
Excellent. Does what it advertises. Good range of high quality equipment. Staff are sharp. Change rooms/showers clean and supplied. Location choices good.
Not a terrible gym, but small. Also, ignoring cancellation requests over covid, so pretty terrible people. There's a much better option down the street.
If you're looking for professional instructors, look elsewhere. If you want a small but nice gym run by a jock clique, then this is the place for you.
Went in today to sign up and Kim and Sam were amazing and super helpful! The gym was also clean and had a nice vibe, can’t wait to start my training!
Great location, clean with recent equipment. Very Covid-19 sensitive and safe environment. Staff is awesome and very knowledgeable. I recommend …
The staff are great here if you have any concerns and its always been tidy when I've gone to workout! I love the punching bag and turf area.
Awesome staff always welcoming at any point in the day. Clean equipment and areas. Change rooms are private. Great atmosphere all together!
Its says they are closed but they are open ! Super clean, new equipment and friendly staff!! Go see Sam , he will take good care of you .
Love the big windows near the treadmills, and how clean the equipment is. Great ambience for a workout. Definitely recommend this gym :)
I enjoy the location, and the staff that work here. It's mostly location for me, and it's small and cozy. The music is alright as well.
I’ve been coming to this gym for 2.5 years now, the staff are very friendly, the location is always clean and I love that it’s 24/7.
Very clean, people doing the rounds a lot picking up the weights, cleaning etc. Happy to being going back with a membership soon :)
I turned 70 and chose this gym because of the helpful and knowledgeable coaching I receive which is geared to my achievement goals.
Lovely staff! Very kind, considerate and professional. The gym itself had all the equipment I needed with little to no wait times
Great place to work out and love the staff!! Learned a lot over the last few years from just having great members and staff :)
They continued to charge me even after I cancelled my membership. I'd be happy to review my rating after they reimburse me.
Great place following covid-19 protocols, friendly staff ready to assist whenever they are at the office , professional.
Great environment to workout. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Equipment looks in good condition. Great overall gym.
Fantastic staff, variety of equipment, and location. I couldn't think of anything bad to say about this gym if I tried.
Great place to workout, not very busy. Was happy to see cleaning equipment and plexiglass dividers throughout the gym.
Impossible to get a good work out in. Too small, too many people and way too many trainers for the size of the place.
Super clean, good selection of exercise stuff, friendly staff, open 24/7 and parking don’t see what else you’d need.
Wont return calls and has been taking my money for months, when i was supoosed to be frozen for 3 months, dont join
A little small for the amount of people that are visiting. Great equipment and clean washrooms and common areas
Great staff, very clean environment, very welcoming place! It is my favourite Anytime Fitness to work out at!
Small and cozy gym 24/7. You’ll find here everything you need to be fit and strong. Good membership packages
Has all machines you really need, quite packed during popular hours but great in the morning and at night.
Smaller than my old anytime fitness but staff have been great so far, and this gym has everything I need.
Very impressed by the cleanliness of this gym. The staff and other members take great care of the place.
Very good and clean gym. Super nice to train and the staffs are very friendly. Overall good experience
Used this gym during a stay in Ottawa! Jarett was especially helpful and made the experience seamless!
Friendly staff and ample parking. Gym is small but tidy and there is a decent selection of equipment.
Well equiped, well located and clean gym! Really convenient too since it's 24/7. Highly recommended.
LOL can’t believe there’s 5 ppl at 4am. Good and clean place, has parking, that’s all I need.
Clean and new equipment but too small. Lacks space especially for stretching/mat exercises.
Owner gave me a free water bottle, pretty sweet. Staff is very friendly, lots of equipment
The staff at this location are very caring and attentive especially Kiera and Sam …
It is good but they should clean and open fresh air much more. It smells bad and dirty
One of my favourite gyms, great location and good music, very clean and affordable
Great spot to workout. Clean facility, great employees and an inviting atmosphere!
Everythings kept clean and in great shape, wipes available whenever you need them!
Clean spot. Very accommodating staff. Will be recommending this with my friends.
Good customer service, very clean place and they respect the sanitary measures.
Great staff there! Sam is super nice. Location Is convenient and gym is clean
