Super clean gym with great air conditioning and ventilation. Clean, private bathrooms, two with showers. Very friendly, helpful staff. I feel very safe there no matter what time of day or night I go--members can only enter with a FOB and the door remains closed and locked at all times. Smaller than other big-name gyms, but I really like it that way because of the cleanliness, security, and super comfortable workout environment there. There are plenty of machines and equipment to work on your fitness goals, whether they're for general fitness, physical therapy, or hard-core bodybuilding. read more

Love it here. If you're looking for a gym where you can work out at 3 PM or 3 AM (depending on whether you're a responsible adult or questioning all your life choices), this is the place. No matter the hour, I always feel comfortable! They just recently did a remodel as well and it looks amazing! Employees are awesome too, so kind and welcoming. 10/10 recommend. read more

Good gym clean and never too crowded Holly the manager was very helpful upon enrollment Gisele gave me a free training session I recommend her. Not the cheapest but overall very good value it has all the equipment needed and is conveniently located for me MD read more

Clean, small & not intimidating like most gyms. You can come in any time of day/night. Highly recommend! read more

Anytime Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Poway, California

Wonderful gym that is not overcrowded like all the others. It's my peace Staff is always friendly and helpful, equipment is cleaned and well maintained. They have a solid lineup of weights to get where you need to be. read more

I left anytime fitness for 24 hour after 2 years. This place is pretty clean, friendly staffs, besides peak hours, the place is pretty empty. Less machine varieties compare to fitness 24, LA fitness, ect... Membership was $50/month with hard to get buddy pass (except for staffed hours and its a one time thing) and honestly that was why I left. read more

Anytime Fitness has just renovated. The layout is open, airy, and not crowded. The colors are very pleasing to the eye. The exercise equipment is well laid out. The gym feels inviting. The staff is helpful. The temperature and air movement feels just right. I feel like going to the gym every day! The clientele are respectful of one another making the gym experience all the better. read more

I am definitely the last person you'd expect to see at the gym lol, but here's to making healthier decisions for ourselves, right? I like coming here because it's never really crowded and I'm able to get in and get out as I please. Even when I come in around peak hours, i'm still able to find a station to workout at. The gym itself is small, yes, but it has all of the essentials you need. There are also no locker rooms or sauna rooms at this location, but you do get a private bathroom (which honestly works for me cause I like my privacy). The staff at this location are great (they get a 5/5 alone for that). Everyone's super friendly and easy to work with/ talk to. Whenever I have questions and I'm there during the staffed hours, I never felt like I was being an inconvenience. If you're looking for a gym that isn't your typical intimidating and crowded gym like 24 or LA, give this gym a try! Plus it's open 24 hours! You won't regret it. :) *an additional tip for someone who's on the fence with getting a gym membership: always check with your insurance plans to see if you're able to get some good deals with health/ fitness benefits. Chances are, some of them are able to reimburse you or give you a good discount! read more

Staff 5 out of 5! Amanda the manager is amazing and very personable. There's not one day she does not greet the guest. The gym equipment works for me. This place has everything I need to get a good workout in. However, the only reason this place doesn't get a 5 out of 5 is because it can get packed very fast. There isn't as much space as I'm used to seeing at other anytime fitnesses. The ramona anytime has 2 levels same as the one in San Marcos. But, all in all you'll love the staff and you'll love the equipment. read more

By far my favorite gym yet! It's been about five years since I'd stepped foot in a gym just because of life, but I finally decided it was time to work off my quarantine weight. My wife goes to a private gym already but she reached out to Anytime online for the both of us since it's pretty close. Shortly after, she received an email from Amanda the GM who invited us in. Amanda gave us a very thorough your before we sat in her office to discuss options. I was very happy with the interaction and it was a no pressure discussion. We ended up enrolling on the spot and I went back later that night for my first workout at Anytime. I really enjoy the layout, the fact that it's not overly crowded and the fact that it doesn't smell like dirty socks. They definitely put the gym together with their customers in mind and I'm excited to get back into shape! read more

Holli is a great member of the gym's staff. Ben is an awesome trainer. .................................. read more

Anytime Fitness - Poway, CA I have been a customer for several years now, worked with other gyms before, so I do have some understanding of similar operations. In short, Anytime Fitness at Poway CA location is a boutique gym, well run and maintained. Amanda the manager runs a tight ship. The main factors to me are accessibility 24/7, location, and cleanliness. If you're in the market for a gym membership, don't look any further. Best, Andrew Z. read more

I have never had a bad session here due to the staff keeping the facility in top notch condition. The equipment is clean and frequently maintained, members are kind, and the staff- especially Holli, always greet you with a smile. I would absolutely recommend this place to any one of any level. read more

Best gym in town! I used to have a membership with 24 hour, I was overpaying and the gym was always packed. I setup an appointment with Amanda and she helped me get everything situated in under 15 minutes and was clear on all of the costs. Gave me a really good price for the membership and gave me a one on one tour upon signing up. The staff keep it tidy and clean all the time. Other members are pretty nice as well which makes it a friendly workout environment. I don't think I will ever get an another gym membership anywhere else. read more

My husband and I got our membership together. We were told it was for a year and then we'd be able to cancel. We moved about two hours away so when the year hit, we called several times, until about a week later somebody finally answered and said "you were paying month to month. I could've sent the papers for you to cancel anytime" so we fill out the papers for the 30 cancellation notice FOR US BOTH!! I filled them out for us both and sent them both back. I even called to make sure that they received them and they were done correctly. Fast forward to 7 months after we cancelled and my husband checks his bank statement to see we are still being charged. So we called and ask about it and the worker had said "we don't even have anything here that would cost that amount but I can have a manager call you on Monday" here we are on Monday being told that only my husbands membership was canceled, not mine. Pretty disappointed and upset with this business. read more

All the staff members at this gym are awesome and so very helpful and kind. My mother and I have been members of this gym for several years. Amanda, Holli and TJ are so kind and so sweet to my 93-year-old mother that goes to this gym at least 5 times a week, (more than I do, Ha Ha). They treat her with so much respect. This gym is always clean and so very well organized. The equipment is always cleaned and in great shape. My mother and I both feel so much at home at this gym and just love it. Thank you to all the staff and great members of this awesome gym for your help and constant kindness. read more

This is the best gym in Poway, clean and practice social distancing. For the people writing negative comments on this place. They are a bunch of nosy, selfish hypocrites. One of these people "picture attached" (most likely this Kimberly B.) stalked the gym and started yelling at me at the parking lot saying I'm endangering her life, and I'm participating in an illegal activity by exercising. LOL read more

THIS GYM is everything! The place is friendly and welcoming, and a great staff that is *on it* when it comes to monitoring and caring for the sanitization and cleanliness of the gym--- especially now in these times! They provide such a safe environment for everyone to be able to workout and maintain their healthy and active routines, and I'm loving the fact that the management and staff is supportive to all of their members needs! Literally grateful that they have stayed strong and consistent, safe and SANITARY through this COVID situation for us! Thank you + way to go, guys! PS. A few simple solutions for some of the random low-star ratings.... If you're going to post and complain about a business staying open, please make sure you're practicing safe distancing and wearing your mask while you're making your way into the "infected world" to play "Karen and the Pandemic Patrol" with specific businesses you aren't even a part of. Stay home if you're that worried! For those concerned over charges? Possibly re-read the contract you signed before complaining about "random miscellaneous charges" or policies you can't remember or choose to follow. Problem(s) solved! :) read more

I've been here for a little over a year and can easily say this is one of the best gyms you will ever go to. Not only that, but it is the best Anytime Fitness you will ever go to. I've been to other locations in and out of California, and the Poway location is by far the best one. Don't judge this gym on its size. EQUIPMENT: All of their equipment is in good or like-new condition. I love that the equipment for the freestyle room is fully stocked. They have bands, weights, balls, kettlebells that go up to 60lbs, and more! I love that the weight area has a variety of attachments, like an ankle strap (a lot of gyms don't!). They also have a filtered water fountain near the bathrooms (2 bathrooms per gender, 1 each having a spacious shower) CLEANLINESS: This location is always very clean. I feel that both staff and members care about maintaining a clean and hygienic gym. CROWDEDNESS: Not really an issue. There's only been a few times where i felt it was too busy for me. I like that everyone here is nice and there's a sense of community amongst the members. You can ask "can I use this when you're done?" without fear of getting an attitude lol. I feel that that the members here are serious about their fitness goals. Why is that important? When hitting goals, it's important to be around like-minded people! I hate going to gyms where I see girls with a full face of makeup on just sitting on the machines, or guys walking around just to check out girls. None of that happens here. I also like that this gym has members of all ages, sizes, and ethnicities. STAFF: The staff is the best part about this gym. The manager Amanda is very nice and professional. All the trainers are stellar and say hi if you're a regular member or have been trained by them before. This gym over all is very clean, well stocked, easily accessible, and welcoming! read more

Love this gym!! Has everything you need for a complete workout... the equipment looks brand new, free weights up to more than anyone needs, benches, machines, racks, kettle bells, etc. Everyone is super friendly, the gym is incredibly clean, and easy parking as well. Starbucks and health shops are a 20 second walk away. Great location and equipment, really couldn't ask for more. A couple of the reviews seem a bit off, clearly some are generally negative in anything they come across (see almost half of their other reviews are 1's), have far too much time on their hands, or ignore basic stuff that every other business has in place. Personally, I've felt everyone I've dealt with has been extremely transparent, responsive and easy to work with... really a great business overall, highly recommend. read more

I joined this gym as a last resort because my normal gym shut down during the pandemic. The gym is clean which is nice, but it's WAY overpriced for what you get; it's small with limited equipment. As I said, I really had no choice. I committed to 6 months to get the lower (still pricey) monthly rate. When I went to cancel about 10 days before the end of my 6-month term, I find out that their "policy", which is in the fine print, is to notify them 30 days in advance before cancelling. This is the most ridiculous policy I've ever seen at a gym, and we all know it's meant to gouge another month's premium from exiting customers; zero functional purpose for its existence. When I asked the General Manager why this policy exists, she didn't answer except that I signed the agreement and need to pay up. Beware of the the scam. read more

To Amanda's response. You still have not provided me any paperwork in writing that explains this $150 buy out fee that you are trying to charge me for canceling. Worst management ever, extortion at its finest. read more

See all

I've been going here for over a year now, and I LOVE it!! Always super clean and organized, gym goers are always friendly and supportive. The staff are especially supportive, shout-out Holli for being absolutely amazing and putting a smile on my face every day. Truly one of my favorite parts of the day:) read more

I signed up for a membership at this gym years ago, about 2 months into having the membership, my mom went into hospice and I had to move to Joshua tree to take care of her. I told them the situation and was told they could freeze my account for 3 months. 2 months into my account being frozen I contacted them again and told them that move out to Joshua tree was going to be indefinite. They told me since there was no gym in that area they could cancel my membership for me. A few years later, now I have a charged off account on my credit for $1400.00. Tried contacting them about it and they tell me there is nothing they can do about it. read more

I've been going here for a while and had no complaints, I didn't talk to anyone here only one guy to say hi and the managers when I needed help. I'm giving one star because I got a call from Amanda and she said she received Multiple complaints from members about me taking long showers and Making loud phone calls. Taking long showers, I can understand. What I don't understand is how are going to tell me to go out side when I have phone calls when the only thing I use is the rest room anyhow every time I asked where in there policy does it say no phone calls, she avoided the question Threatening me saying if you can't follow our rules, then they will deny me access to the facility. She also use that same threat because she didn't like the tone i was talking to her in while over the phone to shut me up i guess. Again i asked again she avoided the question saying she was going to deny access now because of my tone , i said good so i called her a B***h Officially this is my Perception of her..... I Don't like to be at places where I'm not welcomed, I've never done anything to them, those things i didn't do may this gym receive ... F**k This Gym. read more

The gym is much smaller than 24 Hour Fitness or La Fitness gym but it is very clean. The staff has always been very nice here. During times of the da,y it can get busy but I like you can go anytime to use the gym. read more

I went here because I had just visited one of these locations in Havasu, AZ while on vacation and LOVED it! Everything about it. The gym was nice and big, super nice people, easy access, no red tape. So I was excited to get home and check out the one right by my house. Complete opposite. Horrible customer service. The guy I talked to about joining had no answers for me and then didn't call back like he said he would. I tried calling again, same guy, no answers, no call back. Also the location is less than desirable as far as availability goes and it's super small. Bummed and still looking for a gym. read more

I've been a member of this awesome haven of wellness since before the location even opened... (2012?) Not only are the owners, Krystal and Michael, amazeballs, but the manager Amanda is super friendly and professional . Anytime Fitness is legit the answer to your fitness issue. This place is literally open ALL THE TIME. Even when the desk isn't staffed, you can let yourself in with a handy keychain fab. Want to track your fitness? Login on each machine and track your progress, set goals, and challenge yourself. There's not a class happening when you need one? Scan your thumbprint on the smart screen and watch your customized class start streaming on the drop-down tv screen. Need some motivation? Check out the GINORMOUS chalkboard for smoothie recipes and see if you made the "gym junkies" list. So, what's YOUR excuse, lazy tosser? Just come try it for a week. read more

Anytime Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Poway, California

It's nice and quiet. People keep to themselves. The guys at the free weights don't yell during every rep. It's clean and smells good ... not like a dirty sock! I like their set up! read more

I absolutely love Anytime Fitness! Amanda the general manager, is very hospitable, kind and welcoming. The gym is extremely clean and everyone wears masks at all times. There is a great amount of lifting equipment, free weights and cardio machines. The showers are very clean and include complimentary shampoo, conditioner and soap. When you join you can get a free hour with a personal trainer which is an awesome perk! I am so happy to be a member at Anytime Fitness and would highly recommend this gym. It's a very family friendly environment and I am so impressed by the quality of cleanliness! read more

I haven't renewed my annual membership, as I'm moving and want to settle in first. However, Anytime Fitness will be my first choice at my new location. Amanda made closing my Poway location account SUPER simple and easy...no issues. I've been a member of three Anytime Fitnesses in the past and none of them gave me troubles with my membership, unlike issues I've had with big box gyms. If I return to the area, Anytime Fitness Poway will be my gym of choice, hands down!!! read more

Staff are very friendly and approachable about any issues. Extra services are fairly priced. Gym is always, clean, neat and orderly. Good variety of equipment and resources. I would recommend to anyone. read more

A whole year of limited physical activity due to the COVID pandemic and now you need a jumpstart or just start on exercises to get back or improve your physical fitness? I highly recommend Angela. We reviewed my goals and got me working on different muscle groups, bones, joints . I appreciate her "you can do it" attitude an professionalism. Thanks , Angel . n 2 thumbs up to Anytime Fitness Poway Amanda. read more

Watch out for the unauthorized charges in addition to the monthly fee. I get banged for an additional $20 on my credit card and I have no idea what it's for nor has anybody bothered to explain it to me or ask me for authorization. Members also like to take snoozes and check their cell phones on the equipment--usually the one YOU want to use. Bad manners, bad etiquette. Equally irritating is the $1 a month promotions they send you after you've committed for a year or two at $33 plus per month. L.A. Fitness is just down the street, a better, more professionally run workout center. read more

I really feel at home everytime I enter Anytime Fitness. I have been exercising for a long time, but sometimes I get disenchanted with it. As a relatively new member, I have found the people, atmosphere, support from the staff really makes me want to spend more time here. I live about 10 miles away, so it is not as convenient that I would like, but it is worth it. Kathy Cazin read more

This is a good gym with good management. Amanda is friendly and kind. During rush hours, it is not the best gym as it is smaller. During non-rush hours, this gym is fantastic and at time feels like a private gym. Ultimately, there was not enough equipment for me to stay. However, i would recommend coming here and at least trying it out. They also have locations in point loma and dtsd read more

As someone who's been to many gyms around the San Diego area, Anytime Fitness is my favorite gym so far. They have all the equipment you need for weight training and cardio exercises which are all well maintained and cleaned throughout the day. My favorite part is that it's quiet and not crowded even during peak hours, between 5pm - 8pm. Also, the members are mindful of re-racking their weights which is nice. Their membership price may be on the pricier side but with how well maintained the gym is, it's all worth it. Recommend 100%! read more

I've been working out at AF in Poway for about a month. Clean, good parking, never over crowded. It's a comfortable gym, wide range of ages, friendly people. Fully equipped with everything you might need for a complete workout. Mirrored exercise room open to members when no classes are in session. A good option, & for me only 3 mi from home! read more

We all look to online reviews for information about what businesses do right and how well they do it. Equally important, in my opinion, is how well a business handles their mistakes. I was a member at this location for about 3-4 years, and I generally agree with other favorable reviews here. I could nitpick on a few things -- no paper towels in the bathrooms (the hand dryers roar like a jet engine), the sour, vinegary smell of the cleaner used on the water fountain (this place is kept VERY clean) -- but overall this is a tidy, well-run gym. Late last year I changed jobs and was no longer local; it took me a couple weeks to get around to calling in to cancel my membership, whereupon I was told I would have to come by in person to fill out a form to give 30 days notice. This was not convenient and a bit annoying, but I figured it's probably spelled out somewhere in the membership contract so I went ahead and took care of it. I was billed for the final 30 days, then billed AGAIN 30 days after that. I called right away, geared up for a fight, and left a voicemail when I received no answer. GM Amanda called back almost right away but there was no argument, no excuses; she was polite and genuinely apologetic, and promised to make it right. The refund came through a few days later, and included the 30-day "notice" payment. And that, folks, is how a good business treats its customers. read more

I got the two week free trial membership, but realized as soon as I checked out the gym that it's exactly what I'm looking for. This gym is small, but it's really not crowded at all - even at peak times you'll still be able to find a spot to work out in. The staff members are very friendly and they keep the gym really clean and nice - plus, the equipment is very modern! It's a bit on the pricier side - I'm paying $38 per month, and I'm locked into a contract, but for what I'm getting, it's well worth it. By the way, you can get out of the contract earlier if you can prove you moved into a place that's a certain amount of miles away from the gym - so I'm not too concerned about it. I was sick of dealing with 24 Hour Fitness on Miramar Road, with the gross equipment, crowded gym, and at times impossible to deal with parking situation. It's easier to get to the gym when you know it's not going to be a headache of an experience once you get there. If you're into classes, they offer those as well! You won't find tons of classes here, it looks like there's typically 2-3 per day, but their classroom space is free to use when no classes are in session, and you can even set up a virtual spin class in the room! Really enjoying this gym so far, I highly recommend trying it out via the two week free trial membership if you're curious! The woman who set it up for me wasn't pushy at all, they're really interested in people getting to check out their gym. :) read more
