After years of working out, I recently switched to Anytime Fitness and started personal training with Bik. In just four weeks, I've achieved more significant results than ever before. If you want to actually see results and meet your goals, this is definitely the gym!!!!

Excellent place!!! Working with Bik has been one of the best experiences I have had with a coach. Always encouraging you to do your best and not give up. If you are looking for a trainer for real results, without a doubt Bik is the one!

Our of all the gyms in the area, Anytime Fitness on Lockwood ridge is the best. Bik, the owner really cares about getting each client to their goals and also offers personal training which has seen great results by many. This gym has everything you need to get a great workout. The floor/bathrooms are always spotless and the equipment is great. If you are looking for the best place to workout in Sarasota do yourself a favor and chose this gym!

I recently started training with Bik and he is nothing short of amazing! From the very first session, his personable nature made me feel comfortable and motivated. Bik has an incredible ability to push me beyond my limits, unlocking a level of strength and determination I never knew I had. He pays attention to my individual needs and tailors the workouts accordingly, making the entire experience both effective and enjoyable.

Tried to go to this gym as an anytime fitness member and they want to charge you to access this gym, which does not follow the anytime fitness business model. The person in charge of after hours admissions sent my phone calls to voicemail multiple times. The whole purpose of me having an anytime fitness membership is to be able to work on rehabilitation stuff anywhere and spending money to get to this place only to not only have to pay extra fees but also be ignored is extremely unprofessional.Edit to reply to response from owner:I am quite certain because I showed up at said location and was greeted with a sign that said “anytime fitness memberships do not work at this gym, you must buy a membership here.” Followed by (loosely) “to purchase a weekly membership without a contract, call this number (the number you provided) and be ready to fork out $18 to use this gym.” I called said number multiple times and my calls were denied and I wasn’t able to leave a voicemail because the voicemail box was not set up.

Great anytime fitness location to workout at. Was in Sarasota for a week and was never super packed out around lunch time which was awesome. Plenty of free weights and machines in the gym. Gym was always clean and the owner/trainers were cool people. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a not overly crowded gym to start working out at or if you’re looking for personal training.

I’ve had a great experience so far. The staff are wonderful and motivating, and there’s a cute doggie running around making sure your pushing yourself. The gym is clean and isn’t packed, so machines are always available.

An excellent place to workout. Great energy, esp if you bump into the owner. Very well maintained, flexible hours and nice equipment.

Joined this gym after leaving crunch and it was definitely a huge improvement (which isn't saying a lot considering that Crunch is by far the worst establishment ever). Owner was definitely better than the other place and I ended up staying here because of how well maintained the equipment was as well as having equipment that you can expect for the most part.I would have given this place 5 stars if I was writing this about a year or so ago. But unfortunately, this place has gone down hill since then. Thr equipment wasn't being maintained as well as it should have, particularly the bench press. For months, there has been missing screws near the J hooks where the barbell rests on and it has been getting noticeably looser by time. The owner is well aware of this because he uses the same bench every week. Despite knowing about this issue, he never bothers to address it or fix it. This is very dangerous because if one day somebody decides to load up 315 or 405 on the bar, one of the J hooks can break before the person unracks the weight resulting in a crushed sternum or trachea. The bail mechanic that allows you to lower the bench beneath the safeties on the bench also doesn't work. Someone had to have a personal trainer take the bar off his chest because he didn't even know that mechanic wasn't working. Still doesn't work to this day.Another issue is the owner bringing his dog to the gym. If it was a disciplined trained dog who just chilled in the office all day and didn't bother anybody, then it wouldn't be as big of a deal. But this dog literally barks at everyone who comes in, jumps on people in the middle of their workout, and destroys gym property. And the owner and his girlfriend are both cool with that. This also is very dangerous as either the dog can get seriously hurt or someone can get seriously hurt. Despite many members being bothered by this, the owner seems convinced that everybody loves his dog and has no problems with him being there.Overall, I feel like the owner just doesn't care about owning a gym anymore and treats this as more of a social club to hit on girls and talk to people than treating it as a gym where people go to to actually workout and train. There's other issues as well that I will keep out of this review, but I feel that these issues are issues that others need to be aware of and my hope for this review is that the owner reads it and addresses the issues before someone seriously gets hurt.

I am no stranger to gyms and have probably been to over 30 gyms in my years. What is different about this AnyTime Fitness, is that it is meticulously clean. It’s a good size gym that has everything I need, and I have NEVER been there when someone was not cleaning. Besides being clean, all the equipment is brand new.The reason I joined this gym was because at my last gym, every time I got off work, or I just felt like working out, it was closed or about to close. So being open every single hour of everyday is about as perfect as you can get. You do pay alittle more money here, but it’s nothing like those $10 a month club, that is PACKED with sweaty people, filthy and stinky carpets, and wet equipment from the guy before. Anytime Fitness was never crowded, ever!And my trainer there was Ximena. She’s absolutely fantastic! She has had me working harder than I ever had before, with any other trainer!HIGHLY RECOMMENDAnytime Fitness and alsoXimena. Great results will come quick if you love your gym!

I had been an anytime member for over two years. In that time I moved around the country and transferred my membership to several different states/locations without an issue. The owner was so condescending and rude when I asked about why I was overcharged when my membership was transferred to this location (I was charged more than the monthly fee) I cancelled my membership on the spot. In need of a new gym, I started looking around and found a much nicer gym with more equipment taking my workouts to a new level that I wasn't able to achieve at anytime. This anytime was the most expensive of any of the locations that I transferred to at $60/mo (without offering any more than any other anytime), my new gym is $10/mo. I gave two stars because the gym is kept clean.Edit: To your response. I was done with you within 10 minutes and most of that was you trying to justify your prices. To be clear I did not beg you for anything, sir. I don't care what you charge and if you are trying to keep your gym less busy by charging more then more power to you. I would happily pay more if I find value on a product or service, but this was not worth it to me. It is anytime's policy to transfer the account after 30 days, not mine. I was actually charged $80 and was looking for clarification. The extra $20 was because whomever transferred my account (you????) entered my CC number wrong and I was charged for it, that was all the information I was looking for. I would not consider your gym a 'premium' gym and pay double what any other anytime throughout the country charges.

Best gym out there. Bik and the other trainers are super friendly and knowledgeable and will help you become the best version of you. Would highly recommend signing up here.
