Laugh at this all you "contract know-it-alls" !!! I moved from one place to another. My new location was 18.4 + miles away from a single Anytime Fitness. I contacted them, wishing to cancel due to a move that put me 15+ miles away from an Anytime Fitness (as their cancelation rules stipulate) and provided sufficient proof of this. WELL, they cant cancel, because although I AM 18 + miles away by driving distance to an Anytime Fitness (RandMcNally, GOOGLEmaps, Yahoo Maps, and Map Quest ALL confimed this) I AM however' 14.36 miles away IF YOU FLEW!!! I crap you not, they use the radius of an area and plot a line map..through fields, cities, buildings, houses...and if you arent 15miles away "as the crow flies"? well, have fun with your shitty membership! Anytime Fitness sucks

I am leaving for the USMC. I called the billing agency and they said that boot camp was not active duty even though my enlistment papers said that it was. Also the Servicemember's Civil Relief Act states that any military personnel on military business for a period of 30 days or more is considered active duty. I then contacted my local anytime fitness again. They stated that "somewhere" in my contract it was stated that boot camp wasn't considered active duty, however I was unable to find this statement on the back of my contract, nor could the manager. He then said that i would be able to contact ABC Financial again and cancel my contract.

Be careful because they will rip you off!

First they lock you into a one year contract with no possibility of termination. They continue withdrawing money from your credit/debit card and if you refuse to pay or if you want to cancel, it goes on your credit history as unpaid dues. After my one year contract was done, they said I could cancel anytime I wanted. I tried canceling and was billed an additional month's fee because of some mumbo jumbo fine print about needing a 30 day advance written letter. The customer service sucks and I recommend staying away from them. The billing company ABC also rips you off openly. Stay away folks. Its not worth your time or money joining anytime fitness.

I signed a one year contract with Anytime fitness in Feburary of 2008. I paid the first month and security fees and was told that after the one year that I could continue, if I chose to, without signing another contract. I had a foot injury and was unable to workout and called in October of 08' and was told I could only freeze the contract for 3 months and since it was a family plan, no one would be able to workout during that time but, the payments would still be withdrawn from my checking account. Thinking the payments were being withdrawn and I was unable to tend to my finances because of a major surgery from the injury, my daughter was paying my bills. Around the first of the year, Bruce, an employee of anytime fitness, called and asked if one of the members on my account could continue under my name, I told him no that he wasn't trustworthy of his payment to me and since the contract was up, only the 3 months that was frozen would be all we'd be using. He never once told me that ABC was not drawing out the payments for November, December, and January. Thinking my contract was fully paid and over, I was in the bank in June for an overdraft when the teller showed me that ABC has started taking payments out of my account in March. I went in to talk to Bruce about it and he gave me a print out which also showed that a free month I earned for signing up a new member in or around March of 08' was given to me in October when I called to freeze. He had told me twice that I had already been given that credit, but, instead it was given to me during the period that I couldn't work out. Also, when ABC started withdrawing payments, they were being withdrawn on the first and my contract plainly states the 15th of each month. Bruce after a few days and me calling for a few days, called me on a saturday and said that they would deposit 2 months back into my account. I didn't even ask for the overdraft fees that they caused. After no activity on my banking account ever occured, I called Bruce back. He said he would call ABC and ask. He did return my call and said I would have to call them and he was no longer able to talk to me. I need to know when this issue will be resolved and how long this will take. I am on a limited income and by the way this contract was handled, I am out of money for 2 months I didn't owe for. I believe that the young man is very much at fault with this issue and should be held accountable for his inadaquatacy. There are other issues that I wasn't satisfied with, with this particular fitness center also.

get phone calls and emails to buy into exercise programs and the trainer even tried to sell me a wrist band while I was working out on the elliptical.

I expect a relaxed environment and I understand the recession but with the crowding, having to wait for cardio equipment, not everything works, no one offerd to teach me how to use anything once they had my digits, being unable to reach staff during staff hours and this weird door-to-door sales pitch style I am extremely uncomfortable continuing to com in. There are only certain times I can go to the gym and I don't want to change my schedule because the gym is no longer what I agreed to pay for as far as service goes.

When I came in to cancel my membership they trainer was asking me why and I didn't want to say "because of you". Later she called me at home. I'm sure she feels she is just being nice and trying to grow her business but it's awful.

I have tried to contact The Owner and it is almost impossible to do so during their listed business hours, via email or phone. The last time we spoke was because he called me by accident thinking I had called him about an apartment he's renting.

I feel tricked, as though I bought into a pyramid scheme and now I'm trapped and with a defective product and non-existent service. This is absolutely the worst service I've ever encountered and I can't believe I have to pay for people to treat me this way.

It is absolutely not worth the money. it's just a room with work out equipment. you can get much more and much better at another establishment.
