Anytime Fitness

I visited this location recently and was unimpressed and underwhelmed. The floor layout is nice with 4 distinct areas (cardio machine area, cardio room, Hammer Strength buff dude area and cable cross area with the restrooms/shower rooms in between the latter). And although this gives each area the potential for a bit of coziness, the reality is if more than a few people are present it becomes suffocating. Take the buff dude area. It is quite small, with machines packed together. Good luck if there are more than 3 or 4 guys working in this area. I was constantly running into another patron no matter which direction I turned. Same story in the cable cross area, though it has a slightly more open feel. The one cable machine that has all the endlessly adjustable workouts and level adjustments is awesome, however its location is a joke. It is right on the corner walking path of the Hammer Strength area, just a few feet from one of those machines. It is a ridiculous location for this piece of equipment as the whole point of most of the workouts on it involve having as much room as possible to get full extension. Several times I had to wait, mid rep, for someone to pass by so not to punch them in the side of the face! Other than suffering from clausterphobia this gym seems ok and has everything you need (no stretch bands sadly). I respect any establishment that has the owner's and manager's business card prominently displayed. The entry area is inviting and chic with the sofa and stool and counter with potted plant. However, i'm not there to lounge over coffee (or a whey shake), i'm there to workout. And, unfortunately, that is not always so easy to do at this location.
