I have worked out the better part of the past 35 years. Starting in high school, up to today. Having worked out at the college gym, LA Fitness, Curves, a Lady's Fitness (?), Snap, Brown Deer YMCA, Planet Fitness. Recently, I have struggled with injuries and months of physical therapy. It became clear that I needed to incorporate strength training, but truthfully, I fell away from such many years ago. I was intimidated in my current gym, and knew I was not going to do it on my own. And truthfully, doing it on my own was going to get me nowhere. So, I made the call...I started by meeting with Keith, Manager, of the West Bend Anytime Fitness location. He explained that though many locations fall under the same name, all operate independently, different rates, options, offerings. Keep that in mind, this review is only for this location. They have staff there M-Th 10am-7pm, Fri 8am-12pm. Open to members 24 hours.The first meeting, Keith listened. He did not challenge, judge or push me. He took the time to get to know me. He was upfront on all fees. And, he recommended that I make an appointment with the Lead Coach, Cheri, who could discuss a plan, do a mobility assessment, and a body weight scan.I met with Cheri, who took way more time with me than I could have ever anticipated. She clearly reviewed all my injuries, my strength needs, my goals, motivation. She discussed nutritional needs to meet said goals. And, I was confident she could help me, guide me. I scheduled my first training session. And, it was great! Except, everything I thought I knew, I learned, I didn't. I thought I was going to be doing curls, tricep extensions, bench press, etc. You know, the things I knew from years in the gym. Machines. Typical cardio. Nope. She introduced foam rolling. She showed me, no one ever showed my how to engage my entire body in squats. I'm learning. I'm intimidated. And, I'm finding that the Coaches/Trainers, are exceptional at making it a safe place to learn. You will pay for individual sessions. Completely worth it.The gym itself. Clean! Cleaning stations throughout. Staff. All staff are certified/trained. Staff train you. They are available to coach as you schedule. Will they help you with questions? As Keith answered this question, "of course! That is common decency".Who is there? Appears to be a mix, youngest may be around 18 or 19, oldest, couldn't say. But older than me.Who should go? I would say this is the gym for individuals serious about fitness goals. Either, you are starting out, and really want this, but don't know how to start. You are seasoned in your fitness journey and want a gym that offers free weights, machines, bands, balls, kettles, cardio, medicine balls, boxes, ropes, etc. Or, you land somewhere between these two on the spectrum, but want direction, options, variety. The price point is for someone serious about their fitness.Extras: tanning bed, water wave massage bedsI'm excited about taking this step. Results-they will be individual. Mine won't be yours. It is dependent on lifestyle, nutrition, commitment. But, they are there to help you if you want it.

This is a great place to work out, nice people and nice gym. Unfortunately for my situation, I misunderstood the contract. They were extremely understanding and provided a helpful solution. Will consider coming back when MY situation changes.

Great experience with my personal trainer Jeana. Highly recommend to check out her Core Confidence classes.AF has a great atmosphere, unlike most big gyms which feel like a 'sweat shop'. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Anytime Fitness- West Bend is a very welcoming gym. All of the staff is friendly and the trainers are awesome! They all answer any questions without judgement. The gym always has the “just cleaned” look and there is a huge variety of quality equipment to use. FABULOUS!

Great gym run by great people. Always VERY clean. Staff are extremely friendly and very responsive. They always greet you and are eager to help with whatever you need. Some of the best customer service in the area. They actively try to make your life easier. Had to cancel my membership because I moved out of the area and the process was quick and painless.Membership is a little on the pricier side compared to a few other gym chains, but it's worth it to avoid some of the pains of cheaper gyms such as loitering people, misuse of equipment, broken equipment or kids running around. Everyone is there to better themselves and get a good workout done while being respectful and non-judgmental towards the people around them. No one is snobby, and all fitness levels are welcome. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely return to this location.

The trainers are the ONLY reason why I love this gym. They are knowledgeable with techniques that work with many forms of mobility and ability. They also get to know you on a personal basis to help guide you on the path you choose for your heath & fitness. They use that skill to know when to push you or work with your limitations. The community They create with trainers, other gyms & members feels like a large family to help push & celebrates wins/sucesses.

I could of done this after day one when I joined, but nearly(or more) 10 years later this is long overdue. I've been to probably 20-30 ATF establishments and others, not one is in the ballpark of the brand work that this location has attained.Building a culture in this competitive field is absolutely essential and this place is a blueprint for how all gyms should be built.Whether it is Keith or the trainers, the energy of the culture they have built is impossible to not notice. If you are seeking a real lifestyle change, I implore you to start with a gym that lives it. This place is the standard imo as a fitness enthusiast.Keep shining WB! I'm in a infinitely better spot with my health and life goals thanks to their relentless efforts.

This gym has it all! Friendly and welcoming staff, open concept gym with EVERYTHING you need for the perfect workout. I’ve utilized group and 1 on 1 workouts as well as their body scan technology to track my progress. I’m only 2 months in but I’m so impressed.
