I was blown away by the equipment selection and the cleanliness of the gym. I called the gym phone…read morenumber on Christmas to try to catch a workout while I was visiting and the owner Ryan answered the phone. He was able to let me in the gym while he was at his second home in Costa Rica. I was impressed with his level of sincerity and just overall pleasant demeanor. Although I had heard some negative rumblings about the previous owner, Ryan was super nice and easy to deal with. He informed that he has owned the gym for two years now and installed the most modern and advanced exercise equipment on the market and it shows when you walk in the door, surprisingly the gym was not crowded for the week I went in my guest pass and was always very clean and all of the members were very nice. I am a few pounds overweight and non of the members made me feel uncomfortable or out of place. I will be going back when I visit next and look forward to meeting Ryan in person! Keep up the great work!

Always clean. Never a line. Always open. What's not to love. The floor room is perfect for martial…read morearts practice. There's one of every machine. Clean bathrooms. Clean mirrors. Clean floors. Bands, TRX, Olympic and standard free weights. What's not to like? Even if I forget my key card Ryan is just a text away. I Hardly ever have any problem getting on a machine. If you go when no one else is there- you can circuit train and no one cares. It's great.

Excellent facility. I visited on a Saturday night and was impressed with the convenient location,…read moreamount of equipment, and the cleanliness. This gym is spacious and offers a nice view.. This site has the line of Nautilus weight lifting machines which are well designed and fit the body to a T. Nobody makes a more comfortable seat pad, either! All of the cable type machines are in good working order. There are plenty of free weights, too. Like all of the locations I've been to, there were numerous treadmills and ellipticals. This one even had a stair-climber. Unfortunately, the recumbent exercise bike I rode on was pretty ragged (like it was grinding). I cannot complain though - it did give a good workout despite giving the impression it was worn out.. The shower room was comfortable and included one amenity I have never seen before at an Anytime Fitness gym - a dispenser with soap and shampoo! What a nice touch on behalf of the owners. This is an excellent facility whether you are looking for a location near home, are a business traveler, or like me - just an RV'er passing through and wanting a workout and hot shower. Is this a gym I would join if I lived in this area?. Absolutely. It's one of the finest Anytime locations in Iowa.

I have worked out twice at Waterloo's Anytime Fitness with a friend, but I will NEVER go back- it…read moreis a dangerous environment. My friend was called a "f*ing idiot" by another member recently while she was working out. She was videotaping at the time, and I viewed the video of her confronting him. Then, she immediately reported it to management. They literally acknowledged that he has harassed and intimidated other members, but they refuse to address the abusive member. Apparently, Anytime Fitness cares more about the cost of one man's membership than the safety of multiple other gym members. My Cedar Rapids gym takes member safety seriously, but I will NEVER recommend Anytime Fitness gyms because of the appalling disrespect the Waterloo gym showed for my friend's safety and that of other members.
