Fitness gyms are in no short supply these days, as you can seemingly spot one every few blocks in the Las Vegas valley. With so many options to choose from, relying on reviews becomes of utmost importance. It will be important to use this review in conjunction with reviews from other locations, as a tool to narrow down which Anytime Fitness you'd like to join. They are all nuanced with differing amenities and features undoubtedly suited for quite the range of personnel. I first experienced Anytime Fitness in 2022 when my extreme irritation with overcrowded gyms reached a fever pitch level. In addition to a less crowded environment, Anytime Fitness offers one glaring amenity hinted by its name. It's open twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, including holidays. With four locations in Las Vegas alone and 2,806 locations across all fifty states, the combination of numerous locations and hours of availability rank high on the initial customer service seduction scale.
I've been reviewing gyms for decades. I grew up working out with my parents using several different gyms, implemented numerous rigid workout plans in the military, and have been a member of no fewer than 20 gyms in my fitness journey. I've seen well maintained gyms as well as holes in the wall that are called gyms. My fitness background combined with a diverse gym experience will guide you to making the best choice of gym to belong to.
Upon entering Anytime Fitness on Horizon Ridge Avenue in Henderson, Nevada, you are greeted by smiles and salutations from the friendly staff. Whether they say hello while sitting at their desk, or during your workout, it is bound to happen at some point before your workout is over. I arrived just the other day and the staff were busy with a group class which was offered every day of the week. Even though the staff were busy, they still managed to waive to me as I passed by the group class. This gym takes pride in the things that matter. The equipment is clean and well maintained. The bathrooms, showers, and common areas are cleaned daily while the crowd level is always at manageable levels. I've been attending this gym for four years and have yet to wait for a piece of equipment.
Personally, the hours of operation are the most attractive quality of this gym. I never have to worry about whether the gym is closed because it is never closed. It's open all day, every day, and on holidays. While all locations of Anytime Fitness are not staffed after normal business hours, safety may be your first concern. The entrance to the gym is controlled by an application on your smart phone. Only members have access during normal and after hours. In addition, the gym is equipped with a wall mounted safety button that automatically calls 911 if you ever feel your safety is in question. For immediate health concerns, there is a defibrillator available as well. The gym is located in a nice part of town where crime rate is low. Having the aforementioned safety features in addition to a low crime rate make the business hours more enticing from a safety standpoint.
I briefly mentioned the condition of the equipment. It is also important to discuss the type of equipment available. This location affords a very accommodating free weight area. The dumbbells range from five pounds to one-hundred pounds. These are weights that not only satisfy your regular gym goer but also limit the fanatics from joining this gym. I realize it's a valid concern to be working out with giant men who are trying to push the limits of what a human body can do while juiced up on any and every performance enhancing drug. I get it; that can be very intimidating. This gym is designed to welcome the regular fitness seeker with a welcoming, motivating, and comfortable atmosphere. In addition to the dumbbell range, Anytime Fitness has three free squat racks. In my experience squat racks have always been the bottleneck at every gym I've been to. With this gym being smaller, having three squat racks is a phenomenal member to squat rack ratio. Other gyms that are much larger only have one squat rack. If free weights aren't your favorite workout medium, this location offers several machines to target every body part. The machines are also arranged in a manner suitable for circuit training. Cardio options are also available with treadmills, stairmasters, rowers, ellipticals, stationary bicycles, and rope simulators. If all of that doesn't suit your fancy, as mentioned, group classes are offered daily. These classes are instructed by the well-informed staff in a motivational and safe manner. The classes vary every day to preclude any sort of monotony accruing, while maintaining your focus and determination to achieve your goals. Group class members can track their progress with the Anytime Fitness application as well
