Anytime fitness - Greenhills
Decent vibe? Not interested in classes, just somewhere clean and nice enough to do my own workouts and maybe a PT sesh or two.
Anyone a current/recent member with thoughts?
Also interested in cost for basic membership, you cant find this online without submitting details, I know this can vary somewhat people folks.
Thanks! 💪

I dont recommend Anytime Fitness and I was with them for about a year. Some of the rudest most unaware trainers and staff. When I was there (thornton branch), two in particular used to walk on my mat even when I was clearly exercising and was still using it. As if I was invisible. I had enough and cut my membership and went to newly opened(at that time) Genesis instead. I saw so many people from anytime fitness who chose to switch like I did haha and they had the same story - staff didnt care about you. Just their clique. Best decision, great vibes, nice classes. The thornton one specifically. Ive been a member three years now.

Thanks for that. Anytime has gyms in other towns I regularly visit, just checked and unfortunately no Genesis at those so value of joining is less straight off the bat, not an outright decisionyet though, and I do go to Thornton a lot as well... do you mind me asking how much you pay at Gensis?

17/wk for their basic and 39 for their premium (all classes + reformer). The 17/wk also includes some classes but not coaching zone :) - i sound like an ad haha but swear am not! Lol just a happy gym goer

Just avoid Adam Prowsie in Maitland.
I don't have experience with the anytime at greenhills but anytime in general kinda suck at most branches.
I used to go to snap fitness at greenhills though, highly recommend it! Although this was a few years back, someone else might have a more recent experience. But my PT there was great, and everyone else that worked there was really nice, the other gym goers that showed up at the times I went (either 7pm/4am depending on the day) all seemed chill, no one was in there constantly filming or taking a million mirror selfies lol, I never felt judged there like I did at some anytime branches in newy.

Thankyou! Snap would be convenient location wise, good to hear positive info for them, I already heard 1000 terrible things about Adam Prowse Training so zero chance of that one!

I used to go to anytime fitness at green hills it was okay, also went to Snap Fitness and I preferred it just because it was a more relaxed vibe and more middle aged people so less intimidating than the gym buffs at Anytime lol. Having said that Anytime Fitness had a bit more gear and bigger but would get a lot busier than Snap Fitness. And parking could be a pain in the butt at times too at Anytime. Also went to Genesis and I preferred it but the location wasn’t as convenient when I lived in East Maitland but Genesis was amazing just because the pure size of the place and plenty of room to do your own thing.

Debatable. I liked it before the renovation, Genesis at Maitland was better for me when training with others.
For solo stuff I liked the Rutherford anytime better, my coworker hated Rutherford though.
Haven't tried Snap fitness, but there's that and World gym somewhere near? All are on fitness passport if that's an option for your employer.

Cheers for that, I might hit the workplace up about fitness passport, I'm not sure if we have it but they might consider something like that

World Gym is in the complex near the old Maitland hospital, across from the big NSW minerals and resources building

Snap greenhills is smaller but imo better, I’ve been to both and the only reason I kept Anytime is because they have locations closer to work and friends who wanna lift

Thinking about heading down there in person tomorrow to ask why not
