Getting a membership to Anytime Fitness was probably one of the smartest decisions I've made in a…read morewhile! I had a membership at another large, chain gym - and used to get so annoyed and frustrated at how there didn't seem to be any off peak times. It was constantly crowded and it was a struggle to get any piece of cardio equipment or weights or benches. I found myself using the gym less and less because I couldn't fully utilize it. Anytime Fitness is probably the same distance away as my other gym. I will say though that it is small....but if you do not require classes and just need some cardio equipment, weights and machines, then this place is for you. I have gone after work and have been able to work out and do what I need to. It's never packed and even when there are people there, everyone is polite about sharing or working in and cleaning their benches/machines when they are done.

This LA Fitness is an okay spot overall. They do offer a pool and a Pilates studio, which is a nice…read morebonus, but there's no steam room or sauna if that's something you look for. One thing I always notice is the cleaning crew--they're consistently making their rounds, so the gym stays tidy throughout the day. Because it's right off the main highway (1-9), it definitely gets pretty busy, especially during peak hours. Parking isn't the best either, so getting a spot can be a bit of a hassle. Still, it's a decent gym if you're mainly focused on the basics and appreciate the extra amenities like the pool and studio.

When I asked to see the policy, the staff member literally said, "I'm not required to do that and there's no point." If a business refuses to show you their own rules while demanding money, run the other way. Unethical, aggressive, and potentially illegal.

The classes and instructors here are truly some of the finest in the industry. A special shoutout to Sandy, Ruth, Reena, and Payal for world-class Yoga classes; Sakshi, Aanchal, Hollia, and Srividya for Zumba; and EJ, Marilyn, and Angela for Pilates and Total Body. Full credit also goes to Christine, who is a great leader and manages a wonderful team overall. The only downside is the front desk; they lack warmth and look unhappy to see a member walk in. But the rest of the activities in the club and the other wonderful staff more than make up for the hostility at the front desk."

However, if you're looking for machines out the wazoo that are reasonably maintained and available with no wait PF's location in Edison works fine for what amounts to a pittance each month. Look, no gym no matter how upscale is going to do anything unless you go and use it. Are there poseurs here? Ya. Are there chatty hausfraus who constantly annoy? Yes again. But who cares, I have more money in my couch cushions than six months of dues here. Sweat is sweat. In my mind do it as cheaply as possible and be gone. Planet Fitness is what it is. Five stars for just being good enough.

Unfortunately, every time I've come in and I've given it multiple chances, the gym has consistently been dirty.

i've been a member for years and they really, REALLY make an effort to make this place as good as…read moreit can be. Always have. Even when freezing my membership during Lockdown and other times i couldn't afford it between gigs. Sure they inadvertently overcharged me for seven months recently by accident (and I didn't follow up) but it only amounted to $200 or so dollars total. So i asked myself: when does life become more important than money? Here. And the monthly charges are indeed hefty but I've never had a run in with rude employees, busted or rude employees of contract switcheroo's - all of which you find at other gyms. So i look at this way: as we get older, we exercise or we're going to have problems sooner. I'm past the old fifties and this could be my last active decade. Our phones are softening us up and not for good but there's also age so why not go out spinning, lifting and grinnin'! And another positive observation, Ace - how they do it here - I can't tell you but daily, they're mixing kids, adults, the elderly and every stripe of our cultural landscape together under one roof without any apparent issues at all. That alone is worth whatever they charge. We could all learn from this. Reminds me of my beloved Denmark. Normalcy, kindness and respect. It's nice to go to a place that's as much Peace Time as Exercise Time which of course makes Lifetime. Yes it's not cheap but if you want cheap, you become cheap. And investment here isn't subject to risk. You know those annoying brokerage or investment caveats? Not here: you put in the lifetime, you extend the life. And get this Yelp of an adage of mine: a gym is one of the few investments of time where if you honestly put the work in, you honestly get results. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about! Personal growth, Baby! Ah Rudyard Kipling. And you can't script this. I'm doing pectorals like Ren and the next thing I know, a phone call comes in from a Summit number and who is it? Berkeley Heights Life Time! "Sir um is this Charles Savoth?" "Why yes", says I. "Well someone returned your credit card at the front desk!" Honest members, honest gym, honestly I'm not the sharpest "bulb" in the gymnasium firmament! But really are bulbs sharp? I don't know but I'm happy as a clam Lifetime has my back, my Buddha front and my slippery plastic! And clams are happy - they're always smiling. Again personal growth on a mollusk-u-lar level!

So it started badly, as on the way in, I got yelled at profusely, and I mean really yelled at, by some old man telling me I was driving the wrong way through the parking lot - and he stood in my way to yell at me too. It wasn't well marked and was banal as nobody else was driving in the lot. Then when I got on with my cardio, the TV was staticky, and while the gym had some decent stuff and some fit-looking members, I have to say these are not great facilities and the space is a little cramped. They offer no towels, no hairdryer, and in general, not one of the best I've used. I'd give it a 4 if not for the fact that the TV, lack of towels, parking issues, and especially getting yelled at, all made me not enjoy my workout much.

Prior to Covid, the facility was put on notice by me regarding unacceptable hygiene and cleanliness…read moredue to patrons leaving behind their wipes in the cup holders of various equipment. Only after a meeting with managers and CEO did it improve....briefly, while the employees walked up and down the floor giving me dirty looks because they now had to do something. The practice continued and did not follow normal hygiene practices, nor was anything enforced, ever. Covid comes, and enrolled patrons are notified that they can suspend membership until a specific date, and if not (suspended membership), it will automatically be re-enabled and charged unless notified. No ongoing communication has occurred since then, and only verbal information is/was provided. As of July 1st, no resumption of gym facilities yet they steal money from my on file credit card making an assumption that they may soon be able to open, and placing the burden of me having to keep extending my requested suspension. I'll assume I'm not going back as I'll be at risk, and because of their lackluster previous inabilities, I'm certain they may never return to normal. One might think that they would contact persons to ask if they minded them to have their funds stolen.
