Being in the health and wellness industry has made me skeptical about many personal trainers, if…read morethey do not know as much or more than me, then I will not give them a chance. After talking with Albert & David about their philosophy and about the body, I realized they actually DO know about kinesiology and I decided to try a month. It's been 9 months now and I love coming here. My flexibly is better after old sports injuries, I am stronger, and injury free. I send my clients with chronic pain here to complete their wellness and at home care for strength, as part of their rehabilitation. They are professional, knowledgeable, have integrity, and I can trust them with my clients. I have also gained confidence, dropped 20 lbs, two dress sizes, and my legs look fantastic! I have a lot more to go and I wouldn't want to work on my goals anywhere else than with Albert & David at CR Elite.

Stopped by here while on a short business trip to get my training in. David was very welcoming and…read morelet me drop in. They have great needle bearing bars and high quality bumper plates. The bars spin very well and their platforms are well-built. They let me play my own music, they have towels, a water fountain, jerk blocks and a great atmosphere... I really could not have asked for more while on a business trip. Any weightlifter in the area should check out this facility either to train or learn.

The recent reviews is outdated. New ownership happened about a year ago by Ashleigh and Kody…read moreBlazek. No managment issues at all. By far the best gym available. As previous review says, 24/7 access. Been to many gyms in the nation, and by far Anvil has the best strongman and powerlifting equipment to any gym Ive been to. Also caters to general fitness as well. For anyone looking for trainers, there are strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding and atheltic/sports trainers available. Recent additions to the gym include a infared sauna and a smith machine. Day passes are available, and a quick tour is available per request for anyone looking to check it out. Great gym, would recommend

Outstanding gym! Currently a trainer only type gym, but seeking to expand to 24 hours with keycard…read moreaccess for individual training memberships. 8 squat racks, 2 mono lifts, 4 benches, indoor track area for sleds and prowlers, 3 deadlift platforms, glute ham raise, reverse hyper, hyperextension bench, dumbells, kettle bells, stones, tires, car deadlift that you can throw tires on, logs, various types of barbells and specialty bars, yoke, tires for barbells, machines, belt squat, kegs, and even a mobility specialist in house. The owner placed 5th in, I believe it was, the strongman open class of 2017 at the Arnold. Lots of knowledge, strength, and motivation in this gym! One of the best gyms I've ever been to and Ken, the owner, is a great guy!

We had a tour of this pool and it is very nice and inclusive to people who have disabilities We…read morelook foward to using the facilities I also love that the weights area is seperate and I can see where my son is at all times when he is walking on the beautiful track They were so kind and curtious of my son and understand of his disability and respectful and helpful and very accommodating and not judging him in any way

Joined for lap swimming. When pool is open, it's usually almost perfect. BUT (and this is a big…read more"BUT") management of the pool schedule is bad. Hours for lap swim posted on their website are usually not correct as pool is not open when hours posted say it is. Was told by front desk people their website is not accurate and I should only use their new 'app' to check hours. So I loaded app and have used that to check pool lap swim hours. Tried to swim on weekday last week. Checked app 2 hours prior and said lap swim open 1:00-5:00 pm. Arrived at 2:10, changed and got to pool deck at 2:15 only to be told "We are closing for 30 minutes from 2:30 to 3:00 today." Today, a Sunday, at 9:00 a.m. app says pool open for lap swim from 10:00-1:00 pm. Arrived at 11:00 only to find out pool is closed due to swim team practice. they are "very sorry" for my inconvenience. This has happened 4 or 5 times in past month. Frustrating to plan my day/week, drive to the YMCA, and show up only to find out pool is not available. Seems like this is happening more and more often in past 5-6 weeks. If only we could know when pool will be available for lap swim. Seems like this should not be that hard to do. Put someone in charge of schedule and posting updates. And, once hours posted, stick to that schedule.

I was traveling and wanted a week gym membership. This place offered a 45$ week pass or a $20 a day…read moreor $90 a month. There were some places offering $10 a day pass but didn't have a sauna or steam room. This place had both plus an ice room. Which was more like a really high air conditioning room. Nothing like serious cold. They also had a pool which seemed like only a bunch of old people use. The training area with turf was really nice but if that stop light is red (I posted a picture) that means the trainer is there with a client and you're not allowed. If it's orange you are allowed but to be careful and green it's a free for all. Not many people use it but it has bunch of cool equipment to use there too. The gym had everything and I was only able to find one thing broken which is rare at a gym this big. They also have one of those dryers for your bathing suits in the mens locker room if you do bring a bathing suit for sauna or pool. It's a bring your own towel like most gyms but for such a high gym membership I thought they may include that but nothing I could really complain about this gym except pricing.

I've been back and forth with my freezing and trainer payments with the front desk staff to no…read moreavail! I call and get promised a call back but nothing. I emailed their general service email and still nothing. My trainer Sam was awesome. The facilities are good and offerings were what I needed but getting someone to help you if modifications need to happen is an act of god! Do yourself a favor and just pay the money to cancel it all because no one will help you. Zero stars for customer service.

I'm almost afraid to write such a good review because if the area finds out what a good deal this…read moreplace is, it might fill up... :) I visited this facility last night. Though I am a member of the 34th Street and Mount Vernon Road location, it's nice to switch it up a bit. I was told that this franchise and the Wiley Blvd location are owned by a different entity than Mount Vernon Road gym. It's interesting how a few things are a bit different. I like the upper body machines at this location - they are Lifeline brand. I plan to alternate between facilities just to take advantage of the differences and keep the body off guard. (I lifted at both CR and Marion last night). This gym is clean and the equipment is well maintained. There are even a few products up front that you can buy after hours simply by signing a clipboard. This location does seem to get a little busier at times but at 8:30 PM on a Friday, there were only a couple other people there. If you are able to adjust your schedule, you can often have the gym almost to yourself. :) I really like Anytime Fitness. If you want a low cost membership, clean and well maintained equipment, and are able to plan your own workout, you can save a lot of money and have an enjoyable time.

My son and I were pretty excited to find something close from home. They're very welcoming, and my…read moreson indicated how he wouldn't be able to participate for a full year and they told him it was not a problem that he could exit out with no additional fees he joined as part of the monthly membership. I did it for the membership and the personal training as training went I found myself getting weaker and found out that I had breast cancer, which caused me to have to stop. I try to let them know about the situation and they said that I made an obligation and therefore I am fully obligated to the full year no matter my situation they are not sensitive to your needs. My son continued his membership, but they completely lied to him about being able to exit with no additional fees and backpedaled on their conversation. They're out for the money. Do not trust this establishment.
