Everybody Fitness

We just cancelled after a year — we like having ²⁴⁄₇ access but cannot justify $ 70/​month (2 of us), when half of the cardio machines are broken or rickety, there are no classes, no music, and barely functional A/​C (with buckets underneath collecting the water — seriously). The locker rooms are also in dire need of remodeling.
It has the potential to be a nice gym, but needs better care and attention to the atmosphere. A little turned off about the comments about the contract — we didn’t run into any issues but still have a month left on our contract.

Please keep a copy of your contract. I tried to end my contract after a couple years and Ted said the computer would not let him charge my current rate and it was going back three months to bill me at a higher rate. Thank goodness I kept a copy of my contract that said I was at $ 29.50 through ⁷⁄₂₀₁₆. Very inconvenient he only resolves things between 11am and 3pm my peak work hours. I understand he’s just a small business owner and I’m empathetic to the little business owner. But don’t tell me your computer can’t honor my contract and don’t make me go dig it up to prove you are wrong. They let my 17 year old sign a contract. Took 3 months to get a refund.

Oh boy do the contracts SUCK! You have to give a 30 day notice for ending your membership? For what possible reason could this be necessary other than ripping you off? There are little members and perhaps they realize that after a month, people will stop coming so they wanna get a little more money out of you. It’s a fairly unkempt place: kinda dirty, really no A/​C and is hot in there in return. Machines are dirty themselves and there’s one pathetic looking towel for cleaning the machines. Not worth getting ripped off by them. STAY AWAY!

You really feel like you are getting your money’s worth with Everybody Fitness. At my previous gym, I paid about $ 15 a month, which was awesome, but it was dingy, small and old. Here, I pay closer to $ 40 a month which is quite an increase from my previous gym, but worth it and much more affordable than places like Lifetime Fitness. Everybody is clean, large, in a great location with up-​to-​date equipment and friendly personal trainers.
I love that it is open 24 hrs (for those 2:00 AM gym fixes) and there are plenty of machines so you don’t feel crowded in.

Not a fan of this place. Their contracts suck and is stacked against you.

I am a member of this gym. It is affordable and functional. They have plenty of cardio, free weights and resistance machines. It works, it is open 24 hours, offers month to month contracts and it is very cheap. That was what I was looking for when I joined.
The gym is only staffed until 7 or 8pm. I rarely see them and it doesn’t bother me. I compare it to a really well equipped hotel gym that I can access whenever I want, most of the people are just doing their own thing and it’s quiet. They don’t play any music and the gym is rarely busy. I love it.
I saw some people complaining about contracts, etc. This place feels family run, not corporate. They were up front with me about the 30 day notice to quit. I haven’t had any problems, but I get the sense that it could get ugly if I did. I’m not worried about it since I could say that about a corporate gym, too.
The woman who manages the location is very friendly and likes to hear from members. They can connect you to trainers and they have a masseuse you can make an appointment with. It’s functional and no one tries to sell you protein supplements while yelling over horrible techno music.

I’ve been a member for about a year. Their rates aren’t amazing, but priced below other fitness centers. You get a basic gym experience– free weights, machines, and cardio. I really don’t need Zumba or Dance Fighting or anything, so this was a good fit.
The place is relatively clean and the free weights are usually where they are supposed to be. I’ve never had to wait for a machine or a bench and it never seems too crowded (I’m an evening guy).
The place is open 24 hours. If you’re there at night, you’re on your own for safety so don’t be stupid and try to break any world records.
There’s no music playing here, which is actually awesome. I don’t need to have my iPod compete with whatever they are playing. One of the best ideas ever.
Their membership plan was a little confusing. They have a yearly rate, but you have to remember to renew it every year or else you get charged the more expensive monthly rate.
I’ve had good experiences here. I would probably give them a 5 star review if they dropped the price a little, but if that extra money goes toward keeping the place in good shape, then I’m okay with that.

Have been a member for a few months now.
Was a painful process discussing with them their contract and the ability to cancel within 30 days. I have been a member at other gyms and gyms are notorious for making getting out of contracts difficult. Eventually I will say that they relented when I pointed out their contract could be interpreted to now allow a 30 day cancellation the way it is written so we modified the contract with handwriting to acknowledge this condition.
Having been there for just over 90 days I can say that the gym is rarely ever overcrowded which is great.
I will give them some praise for turning up the A/​C — before it was stifling in there trying to work out… it is getting better.
I do have some comments where they could use improvement and probably make a little more money:
1.) The equipment is not cleaned often enough. Lately is seems very dirty in the gym, the floors and the equipment are loaded up with dust. I lift free weights, the machines and use the treadmills. The treadmills I wipe down thoroughly when done but lately they have been covered with dust before I even get on them.
2.) The scale was broken and now is behind the service desk. ???
3.) Should consider providing energy drinks or bottled waters in a lockable refrigerator.
4.) The employees working there are generally sitting around and reading 90% of the time. They could be walking around the gym cleaning or making drinks for those working out. If I am paying for a membership, and the cost is part of my burden, I see that employees should be busying themselves with productive work for the gym and its members, not studying and reading waiting for new potentials. This is a poorly managed aspect of this location.
5.) There is no Smith Machine. For a ²⁴⁄₇ gym that is intent on being a self sufficient place for individuals, a current gym should have a Smith machine for self spotting.
It’s not meant to be Robo gym, I got that and it is locally convenient for us. That we like but if they can make some tweaks to their management of the place, they could demand better rates and increase membership.

if you support our troops and first responders, do not go to this gym.
i had to goto the middle east for 6 months. i left in february. i called them in march, from the middle east, to cancel my contract; they said that i had to «stop by to explain myself and why i wanted to quit». i told them my situation and that i was out of the country and wasnt able todo so”. they didnt care. they kept trying to bill me, but i had to call my credit card company on them to make them stop.
finally, they kept billing me through september and they sent my account to a collection agency and i had to deal with a shithead debt collector, despite the fact that i was in the middle east and couldnt «stop by to explain myself»
these people will chase you down to get every penny out of you if you try to quit.
what kind of shithead company, when a member tells them that they are in the middle east for work and cant «stop by» continues to bill them? answer: ones who are cheap pieces of shit that dont care about people.
save your money and dont use them. they obviously dont care about people who are troops and first responders.

This small gym is ²⁴⁄₇ and has cardio machines, weight machines and free weights. That’s plenty enough for me. Very clean. I have been going to this gym 3 times a week since their were opened in Feb. of 2010. I never had problems with this gym. No need to wait for any machine. Well, except a couple of times that some customers just treated their weight machines as a telephone booth and chatted/​texted away. Most of staff members are very friendly and polite. I like this gym for not have to wait, no sales pitches, no fancy equipments that I don’t need. The only problems I really have are from some customers. Quite a few customers don’t wipe down anything after their use, don’t put weights back, occupy several machines at one time and no respect to other customers. But I assume that kind of customers are every where.

It’s been about a month since I joined the gym. I thought it might be little too early but giving it out for yall because it only has one previous review. well the only reason why i signed up its because they didn’t require a long term contract. i’m only paying 50/​month because i have special military discount and it is month to month deal. in order for you to give up on member is to tell them 30 days termination notice.
as you enter the gym, first you see is bunch of cardio work out machines such as treadmils and bicycle. and as you go further you see bunch of machines and all the way to the bottom is where you can do free weights. i like this gym because it doesn’t get too crowded. also it is 24 hrs so you can go anytime you want and destroy your body.
only bad thing i realized was they don’t have lot of weights to work out. only max dumbell goes upto 100lb per dumbell. also i’ve been to life time gym. their gym is like 5 times bigger with swimming pool, tennis court and even hair/​nail salon. but it was too crowded and had to wait a line to use one machines. so you take a close look see what you want.

Since I have to put a star down, Everybody Fitness gets ONE… although if I could, I would rate them with ZERO stars. This is by far the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with in my life. First off, the gym did not have a working air conditioner for about 6 months after I started going there. Despite the fact that people put post-​it notes all over the gym (which is never staffed) threatening to cancel their membership, I remained a loyal customer. One day I was lifting weights to do squats and because I was in a hurry, didn’t put the clip on. Out of nowhere, the weight flew off and hit the glass mirror that was next to the squat machine. I was completely caught off guard by the whole thing but told the manager and figured they would handle it. A week later, I received an email from the GM asking me to pay $ 1800 to repair the damage that was done! I was in complete shock that this person would ask me to front the bill let alone just assume I had $ 1800 lying around — especially after being a loyal customer to them for a year! I called other gyms in the area out of curiosity — to see how they would’ve handled a situation like this and was told that only after repeated damage would they ask a customer to front the bill. CLEARLY this was an accident and after all of this, I had to ask the manager to find a lower cost company to repair the mirror. He finally found a place that offered to do it for $ 500 (go figure!!) but still asked that I pay for the damage. We finally came to an agreement that I would pay for half of it but that i would be canceling my membership due to the horrible experiences I went through as a paying customer there.
JUST BEWARE when considering joining this gym — you never know that kind of hidden costs they are going to ask you to pay for and I can assure you there are gyms out there that treat the customer better!!!
